Through your searches, trees are being planted in some of the harshest environments on the planet. In Burkina Faso, efforts are underway to restore fertility to the desert. We focus on tree planting in areas where it’s most essential, benefiting individuals, the ecosystem, and local economies alike. Every search contributes to this mission. Discover how users of Ecosia are making a difference in the world. Our commitment to transparency is strong, which is why we release monthly financial statements. These reports detail our earnings from your searches and indicate what portion of our revenue is allocated for tree planting. Ecosia chooses not to distribute dividends to shareholders; instead, all profits are reinvested or utilized for further tree planting efforts. We at Ecosia are convinced that addressing the climate crisis requires a break from traditional business practices. Consequently, we initiated the establishment of our own solar energy facilities in 2018. As a result, we have contributed enough clean energy to the grid to ensure that all Ecosia searches are powered by 100% renewable sources, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability. This ongoing effort not only aids in combating climate change, but also empowers communities to thrive.
