After Kotaku’s report about sexual harassment claims related to Nintendo of America, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser issued an internal statement that was posted to the company’s SharePoint account. Bowser stated that Nintendo of America is taking the allegations seriously and is “actively investigating these most recent claims.”
His note can be read below
“We have and will always investigate any allegations we become aware of, and we are actively investigating these most recent claims.”
“We have strict policies designed to protect our employees and associates from inappropriate conduct and expect full compliance with these policies by all who work for or with us. We have and will always investigate any allegations we become aware of, and we are actively investigating these most recent claims.”
“Please remember that our HR teams are here to support you. If you experience, have experienced, witness, or have witnessed anything concerning such behavior that is contrary to our Standards of Conduct, employee handbook, or Company Values, please immediately contact your HR Business Partner.”
Hopefully, change will come from this.
