For Democracy

A healthy democracy requires open and competitive access to information and should not be dominated by a few tech monopolies. We are committed to reshaping Europe’s search landscape to ensure diverse perspectives, pluralism, and genuine digital self-determination.

For Privacy

Privacy begins with control over your own digital footprint. Ensure GDPR-compliant search without storing your search history, processing employee information, or selling data to advertisers.

For our planet

A healthy planet depends on a resilient public sphere. By investing 100% of our profits into climate action and building energy-efficient, independent search infrastructure, we strengthen both the planet and the public sphere that protects it.

For your people

Empower your teams with a European search solution that aligns with your company’s values. Benefit from technology built in Europe with integrity and give employees a tool they can use with pride.

Building our own search index

We’re creating a better, fairer, and more resilient internet. One that reflects European values, protects democracy, and doesn't buckle when political priorities shift.

Together with our French partner, Qwant, we’re delivering results through our new European search index: Staan.

A search index powers search engines and can also be used to train AI models. It shapes which results appear and how they’re organized.

AI, but thoughtful

We generate more renewable energy than our AI features use, from 100% clean sources like solar and wind.
Ecosia’s AI Search uses smaller, more efficient models, and we avoid energy-heavy features like video generation altogether.
Our AI features respect your privacy. We collect only what’s necessary to deliver a great product, and not a byte more.

FAQ

Have any questions?

How does switching to Ecosia work for a company?

First, book a demo with our team by completing the contact form above. We’ll explain the next steps including running a pilot and measuring your impact. It’s a simple switch and we can share best practices to find the right approach for your company.

How many searches does it take to plant a tree?

The amount of searches it takes to plant a tree varies depending on when you search, where you search from, and what you search for. We calculate that it can take approximately 50 searches to plant a tree.

Where will we help plant trees?

Across Ecosia’s diverse portfolio of projects. We’re currently working with over 70 tree-planting partners in more than 35 countries around the world. Primarily focusing on the planet’s biodiversity hotspots and areas facing deforestation.

Because the tree-planting season varies from project to project, keep an eye on our financial reports to see exactly when and where you help plant trees by using Ecosia.

Can we choose where we plant trees?

Planting the right trees in the right place is a complex task, but we're the experts with more than 13+ years experience. By using Ecosia you are supporting our portfolio of projects, rather than just a certain project in a defined place. This means you can have an even greater impact on global reforestation, without the risk, or the stress.

With that said, if you are a large organization searching with us, let’s talk!

Do we plant trees if we don’t click on ads?

Like other search engines, we make money when people click on the ads shown in our search results. We earn a few cents from advertisers for every ad click and dedicate 100% of our profits towards climate action.

Don’t be concerned if you rarely click on ads, simply by using Ecosia your business will help increase the size of our user base which makes us more attractive to advertisers in the long-run!

How does Ecosia compare to other search engines?

Ecosia is the world's largest not-for-profit search engine and the largest search engine to originate from Europe. We provide industry standard search results together with our partners Google and Bing. But compared to other search engines we use our profits very differently and reinvest 100% of them into climate action, primarily into tree-planting projects around the world.

How easy is it to implement?

Super easy, IT can use existing tools to deploy Ecosia in a browser such as Edge or Chrome. No browser extensions need to be installed. All that it takes to start planting trees today is a small policy change.

What can we expect?

You’ll have an account manager from Ecosia to support you during your pilot and to ensure your Ecosia project is a success. We’re on hand to help measure your impact with us and keep employees informed and engaged.

Can we offset our emissions by using Ecosia?

No, Ecosia does not offer a carbon offsetting service.
But instead of thinking only about your carbon footprint, consider the environmental hand print you can make by directly contributing to planting trees across the planet's biodiversity hotspots and beyond!

What if our company has fewer than 1,000 employees?

We unfortunately can’t yet measure the impact of companies under 1,000 employees, but you can still share Ecosia with your colleagues and make an impact. Please visit our Help Center for more information.
