Recently, the Berlin-based social business added serial entrepreneur Tim Schumacher (known for co-founding domain marketplace Sedo) as co-owner of the company, and also attained B Corporation certification, which is issued to for-profit companies that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. The other 20% of Ecosia’s income is claimed to be used to neutralize the CO2 emissions of its web search as well as maintain the company operations and growth. Previously, it worked with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to support a rainforest project in the Amazon.

Can you imagine?įounded in 2009 by Christian Kroll (below), Ecosia is a search engine that donates 80% of what its earns from advertisements to planting trees. Now think about if Google somehow converted even a small portion of this $14.07 billion total advertising income to planting trees to restore a tropical forest. Google’s total advertising revenues rose to $14.07 billion in the last quarter of 2013 – which is about a 17% increase compared to the same period a year earlier – with total clicks on the company’s search advertisements increasing 31%.
