Escape's take on Ecosia GmbH

What if every time you searched for something on a search engine a tree would be planted somewhere in the world? Sound impossible? That's what the wonderful people at Ecosia have done, creating a search engine that powers reforestation across the globe, harnessing technology as a tremendous force for good. Their environmental credentials are impressive, Ecosia have planted more than 100 million trees where they're needed the most and they are the first company to produce twice as much solar power as they need to power all Ecosia searches. Not only do they care about the environment they work hard to protect, but also the people at Ecosia who make that work possible. The reviews from their team showcase their commitment to making Ecosia a great place to work, where you're surrounded by purpose-driven colleagues and peers. If you care about making a difference in the world through tech, Ecosia is a great example that this is possible. With a growing team and a growing need, check out their open roles and help them achieve their mission of planting 1 billion trees!

      There are few truly independent organisations in the tech world that manage to bridge environmentalism and conservationism with modern, easy-to-use user-oriented products. Ecosia is one of them. And it's also an incredibly pleasant and welcoming place to work (2 weekly no-meeting days, a well-design sustainable office, remote-friendly policies, consolidated core values that builds an outstanding culture) and grow at (diversity and accessibility initiatives, conference and events allowance, books and resources sharing, learning days and hackatons).

      I've worked at Ecosia for 5 years already and I still feel super lucky and proud to be part of this change making organisation. The Ecosia team is committed to making a positive impact and always striving to find new ways to increase the impact... because Deforestation and Climate change are serious concerns which effects all of us.
      At the same time, Ecosia cares about the journey and happiness of all those involved - from the web developers writing code to the people collecting seeds and planting trees.
      All of the colleagues are exceptional, inspiring people, and the founder/CEO is truly altruistic, integrous and dedicated to the cause.

      Ecosia is a great place to work because the company does not only care about the work you do but also cares about you as an individual and your well-being. With Covid being tough on a lot of people, exceptional measures have been put in place such as access to free online counselling services and flexible working hours to ensure that employees are not burnt out but are mentally sound to do their tasks optimally.
