Formulating the Purpose and Introducing a New Corporate Logo
Connecting people and societies in the enjoyment
of uniquely entertainingproducts and services,
we're working to create a brighter future for everyone.
In April 2022, we established the Purpose, which is the ultimate definition of the Group. The Purpose expresses the meaning of our existence for society, the reason why we conduct business operations and corporate activities, and the significance of our working at Bandai Namco. In formulating the Purpose, we held repeated deliberations based on opinions that were identified through questionnaires distributed to all employees and discussions with employees from around the world, etc.
- In the Purpose, we place a special importance on the key phrase "connecting and working together to create things." Through our history of pursuing the realization of smiles and dreams for fans and staying close to those fans, the concept of aiming for the same future has become an established part of Bandai Namco's corporate culture. We redefined that concept in the Purpose. As we cooperate with people around the world, the result of "connecting and working together to create things" will be "Fun for All into the Future," which is linked to providing fun and inspiration to people around the world and striving to create smiles and happiness into the future.
- We also changed the Group's logo. Our previous logo was created at the time of the management integration of BANDAI and NAMCO in 2005, and accordingly it expressed the concept of "fusion." It has been 17 years since the integration, and we changed the logo to incorporate the idea that Bandai Namco is moving on to the next stage. The new logo, which has a speech bubble motif, expresses the potential of the brand to connect with people around the world through dreams, fun and inspiration and inspire them with amazing ideas. The new logo will be displayed on all of the Group's products and services. Going forward, we will strengthen our branding initiatives in order to make the logo known around the world as the emblem of Bandai Namco, which aims for global growth.
- In accordance with the Purpose, the Bandai Namco Group will leverage the individual characteristics of each business while increasing the sense of unity and comprehensive strength under the ALL BANDAI NAMCO concept.
