Environmental and social responsibility
neubau kompass consciously focuses on ecological and sustainable initiatives. As a company and together with our cooperation partners, we want to do our part for “a better tomorrow”. In addition, the health of our team is very important.
Planet Tree
Together with our partner Planet Tree, we planted a contingent of several hundred trees in the Alzenau forest in Bavaria, thereby contributing to regional reforestation. Since its launch in October 2020, Planet Tree has been supporting the reforestation of our local forests. Several thousand trees have been planted since then, and with the support of private individuals and companies, the number is growing every day.
More informationReally green electricity with Polarstern
We get the electricity for our offices from the Munich-based energy provider Polarstern. They offer electricity as it should be: 100% green energy, 100% from a German run-of-river power plant, awarded “very good” by Öko-Test and certified by the Green Electricity Label. Polarstern is not a large corporation, but an independent regional provider.
More informationCoffee from the Murnau coffee roastery
Work and coffee almost always go hand in hand. Our coffee comes from a local supplier - the Murnau coffee roastery. The roastery relies on the direct trade philosophy by building trusting partnerships directly with the coffee farmers. The coffee beans are grown and processed in an environmentally friendly way. Renewable energy sources ensure that CO2 emissions are kept as low as possible.

We want to avoid single-use and reusable bottles as much as possible. All of our employees receive their own, reusable Soulbottle - produced sustainably and climate-neutrally, of course. These Soulbottles made of glass or stainless steel are filled with local tap water from our water bar with filtered water. Also 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 the research by making our computing power available with the free Folding@home software.

We are committed to the environment not only in the office, but also on the way there. We support our employees with a Germany ticket (€49 ticket), tax-free and sponsored by neubau kompass.

As part of a renovation, 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. The focus is also on socio-cultural and functional aspects such as indoor air quality, acoustic and visual comfort, and safety and accessibility.

Through our collaboration 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". To achieve this, everwave uses AI-supported garbage collection boats and a river platform that collects garbage floating past. The materials are recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
