Sustaina­bility

GANYMEDE, Inc. is committed not only to enhancing competitive performance, but also to nurturing the next generation of talent across culture, sports, and esports.
As part of this initiative, we have established an academy division aimed at identifying and nurturing talented players from an early stage, with the goal of developing athletes who can thrive in future competitive scenes. Beyond improving gameplay skills and strategic understanding, we place strong emphasis on cultivating multifaceted abilities required of modern competitors and creators, including communication skills, expressive capabilities, and digital literacy. Through these efforts, we aim to maximize each player’s potential while also building a foundation that enables them to succeed beyond their competitive careers even after their competitive careers.
Internally, under the leadership of our Human Resources department, we have introduced e-learning programs for new employees to support the acquisition of essential business skills. By systematically learning business etiquette, effective communication, and problem-solving skills—competencies required across industries—we contribute to enhancing organizational capability and achieving sustainable business operations.
In the research domain, we collaborate with The University of Tokyo on joint research initiatives aimed at improving esports player performance. By incorporating approaches based on scientific data and analysis, we explore new possibilities for enhancing competitive performance while contributing to the accumulation and advancement of knowledge in the esports field.
Furthermore, in our educational initiatives, we address industry challenges such as chronic talent shortages in esports teams and event production companies, as well as the lack of established management and event production expertise. Recognizing that not everyone can become a professional gamer, despite the increasing number of students and institutions aspiring to that path, we focus on expanding career opportunities beyond competition.
Specifically, we provide environments where individuals can acquire practical skills necessary for diverse roles that support the esports industry, including team operations, management, event production, and marketing. Through these efforts, we also work to address the issue of second careers for professional gamers who may otherwise end their competitive lives without sufficient social or business experience.
GANYMEDE, Inc. will continue to balance the development of competitive scenes with talent cultivation, aiming to pass esports on to the next generation as a sustainable culture and industry.

GANYMEDE, Inc. recognizes defamatory and abusive behavior directed at players and creators belonging to our professional gaming team, ZETA DIVISION, as serious human rights violations and acts of business obstruction. We are strengthening our responses, including legal measures.
For unfounded slander, discriminatory or aggressive expressions, and posts that deny personal dignity on the internet and social media, we work in cooperation with legal professionals to take strict actions. These include evidence preservation, requests for disclosure of sender information, and legal proceedings. We consider it a critical corporate responsibility to ensure that our members can operate in a safe and secure environment.
In cases where inappropriate expressions are identified in posts made by affiliated creators, we conduct thorough fact-checking and promptly implement corrective actions, including issuing apologies and removing the relevant content. At the same time, we strengthen awareness initiatives to deepen understanding of expressions that may be perceived as offensive or inappropriate toward specific individuals or groups, regardless of intent.
As part of these efforts, we conduct regular compliance training for players and creators, sharing important knowledge on responsible social media usage, the impact of expression, and issues related to discrimination and harassment. While respecting freedom of expression, we emphasize awareness of the responsibilities that come with having social influence and promote healthy communication.
GANYMEDE, Inc. will continue its efforts to prevent and raise awareness of discriminatory expressions and defamation, striving to build a healthy and sustainable community in which all stakeholders—including players, creators, and fans—are respected.

GANYMEDE, Inc. is committed to fostering a society in which talent is fairly recognized, regardless of gender, nationality, age, cultural background, or values. Rather than eliminating individual differences, we believe that diversity itself is the driving force behind new value creation and innovation.
We respect diversity and equity and are committed to creating an environment where everyone has access to fair opportunities. Evaluations are based on essential value such as competitive performance, communication skills, and work outcomes, ensuring that potential is not limited by attributes or bias.
This philosophy applies not only to our players and streamers but also to all employees working at GANYMEDE, Inc. We believe that an environment where individuals respect each other’s differences, share ideas freely, and maximize their abilities leads to strong teams and sustainable business growth.
We also maintain a clear stance against harassment and discriminatory behavior, while fostering a culture of fairness and consideration in daily communication and decision-making processes.
Creating an environment where people from diverse backgrounds can work and take on challenges together contributes to the healthy development of the esports industry as a whole.
GANYMEDE, Inc. will continue to promote initiatives centered on diversity and equity, working toward a society where each individual’s talent is properly recognized and respected.

GANYMEDE, Inc. values a production process that places environmental consideration at the foundation of its business activities.
In manufacturing, we prioritize minimizing environmental impact and creating sustainable value, rather than focusing solely on short-term efficiency or mass production. We believe that delivering only what is truly needed, in appropriate quantities—without encouraging excessive consumption—is essential in today’s society.
This philosophy extends beyond product and service development to include how we communicate and share our brand. Rather than driving consumption, we aim to provide lasting value by carefully conveying the background and intentions behind our work.
In our relationships with partner companies, we emphasize fair and equal collaboration regardless of differences in position or scale. Rather than pursuing short-term profits, we build long-term partnerships based on mutual respect for expertise and values. We also value sustainable collaboration with local communities, nurturing connections between culture, people, and the circulation of value behind our creations.
Regarding materials used in production, we actively adopt environmentally conscious options. For example, by utilizing resealable plastic packaging, we enable secondary use after initial consumption, promoting designs that do not assume disposability. We believe such attention to detail encourages environmentally responsible choices in everyday life.
In terms of sales methods, we primarily adopt a made-to-order production model to avoid excessive inventory. This approach minimizes waste and enables responsible production and distribution.
Every decision and choice contributes to the future of our environment and society. With this awareness, GANYMEDE, Inc. will continue to pursue sustainable and responsible production practices.
