![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a safeguard against forms of corruption. The internet is a public good and access to quality journalism is important for all. To have the kind of sustained online change we are fighting for, it’s important for us to believe that we can do good, and to believe that many stakeholders in the online world also want more than just ‘financial benefits’ but to truly achieve something that has a social and lasting impact. It’s not the same as planting trees, but the point is we see ourselves in their vision statement, in its essence and drive to make the world a better place. For us, that means putting people (internet users) at the forefront of a fair, prosperous and more private online experience, where they can decide how they want to surf, and how they can support content creators through our Acceptable Ads Standard. Part of what makes us so excited about this partnership with Ecosia is that we started out with a similar vision of empowerment. Ecosia Android users will now have more control online and an improved browsing experience, while still supporting content creators as, with the help of our ad-filtering technology, they will only see nonintrusive ads while browsing. That is why we are happy to announce that we are now in partnership with Ecosia. In today’s online world, they are exactly the type of company that many of us search out because they so profoundly live the values they claim, and because those values are the type that inspire many of us, especially at eyeo. Many of us in the online world already know of them: their ecological focus, that 100% of their profits go to climate action, with at least 80% to tree-planting projects, or about their forward-thinking blogs and videos that shine a light on environmental issues. The above is the vision statement of Berlin-based search engine Ecosia. "We believe in everyone's power to do good" ![]()
