Planet Tree

Planet Tree

Together with our partner Planet Tree, we planted a contingent of several hundred trees in the forest of Alzenau, Bavaria, thus contributing to regional reforestation. Since its launch in October 2020, Planet Tree has been supporting the reforestation of our local woodlands. Several thousand trees have been planted since then and with the support of private individuals and companies, more are being planted every day.

Polarstern

Truly green electricity with Polarstern

We obtain the electricity for our offices from the Munich-based energy provider Polarstern. It offers electricity as it should be: 100 % green energy, 100 % from a German hydroelectric power plant, rated "very good" by Öko-Test and certified with the Grüner Strom label. Polarstern is not backed by a large corporation, but by an independent regional provider.

Cafe

Coffee from the Murnauer Kaffeerösterei

Work and coffee almost always go hand in hand. Our coffee comes from a local supplier - the Murnauer Kaffeerösterei. The roastery relies on a direct trade philosophy by building trusting partnerships directly with the coffee farmers. The coffee beans grow in an environmentally friendly way and are processed in an equally environmentally responsible way. Regenerative energy sources ensure the lowest possible CO2 emissions.

Sparkling water fountain and glass bottles

We want to avoid single-use and reusable bottles as much as possible. At our company, all employees receive their own reusable Soulbottle – produced sustainably and climate neutrally, of course. These glass or stainless steel Soulbottles are filled with filtered local tap water via our waterbar. Also available with " bubbles" on request.

Folding@home is a Stanford University disease research project that simulates protein folding and other types of molecular dynamics. This is used in medical research on Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Covid and many forms of cancer. This requires a large amount of computing power. We support research by making our computing power available with the free Folding@home software.

Nachhaltige Büroräume

Sustainable office spaces

In the course of renovations, our office was certified by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). The DGNB system evaluates the overall performance of a building based on criteria such as how the building affects the global and local environment. In addition, the focus is on socio-cultural and functional aspects, such as indoor air quality, acoustic and visual comfort as well as safety and accessibility.

Through our cooperation with the company everwave, we have already removed several tons of garbage from waters around the world. The goal: "Healthy oceans for a sustainable future".

The materials are recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
