Working at the Byodo Office Building

In addition to our award-winning company building, we are implementing many other measures to reduce our carbon footprint.

Solar power for Byodo company cars

We converted 80% of our company fleet from hybrid to electric cars in 2022. At 16 charging stations, 22 KW are available to charge fully electric vehicles from 0 to 100% in around 4 hours. The electricity for the 16 charging stations is generated directly on our own roof.

Thriving business

Our nature-inspired company building has been recognized for the second time by the Bavarian Blühpakt for its exceptional commitment to species and insect conservation. The Blühpakt Bayern has made it its mission to halt species extinction, particularly among insects. Companies that design their open spaces to be close to nature—thereby creating habitats for insects—are therefore recognized as “Blühende Betriebe” (Flowering Businesses).

Through our commitment to creating more nature-friendly spaces, we aim to inspire others to design open spaces and gardens to be as insect-friendly as possible. The Blühpakt Bayern website offers, among other things, numerous tips for “Blühende Gärten” (Flowering Gardens).

Godparents of the night

We support the “10 p.m. – Lights Out” campaign organized by “Paten der Nacht” (Patrons of the Night), a Germany-wide organization dedicated to combating light pollution, and have adjusted the operating hours of our advertising lighting. This is because a night illuminated by artificial light disrupts the circadian rhythms of people, animals, and plants.

Because responsible stewardship of the environment is a core corporate value for us, we are participating in this project. We’re even going one step further by giving the night an extra hour of darkness. So at Byodo and in our organic store Feinsinn, it’s “9 p.m. – Lights Out”!
