Transparency at Ecosia

Ecosia operates openly. We publish monthly financial reports and regular updates from our tree-planting projects and partners. This way, you can see how we use our income and where your trees are being planted.

Financial reports

Each month, we publish a financial report that shows how much money we make and how much we invest in planting trees. You can see all projects supported in that month.

Regeneration reports

Once a year, we publish a Regeneration Report, our version of a sustainability report.

The CO2 emissions are audited by ClimatePartner. The trees we plant are not used to offset emissions. We focus on avoiding emissions, offsetting unavoidable ones with high-quality carbon credits, and producing twice as much renewable energy as needed for Ecosia searches.
