What lasts a long time ... becomes a tree<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

Alex, you wanted to establish a green search engine in the Group back in 2019. Why did it take so long? <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Alex Ziemer:<\/strong> There were concerns in some places whether employees would perceive it as coercion if we were to prescribe the search engine to them. Because when we define the search engine centrally through Telekom IT, it cannot be individually modified. Therefore, a solution had to be found so that it can be switched back if necessary. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Simone Schlief:<\/strong> By the way, other companies such as Bahn, Coop, and Ernest & Young were more pragmatic in this regard. They took \u201cjust do it\u201d to heart \u2013 which is actually our motto! <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

What is actually so green about Ecosia?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Simone:<\/strong> The profits from the search ads are used for something meaningful. In this case, planting trees where they are urgently needed. Ecosia<\/a> also stands out for its radical transparency. The monthly financial reports show how much the company has earned and how Ecosia has used its revenues. Another advantage: Ecosia is data protection-friendly. This means no user profiles, no sale of personal data, and \u201cmade in Germany\u201d. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Will the search engine now be available on all DT computers worldwide?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Alex<\/strong>: At least on all computers supported by Telekom IT. In total, we reach 120,000 Chrome users. When I open the browser, the intranet homepage YAM United appears as usual – and when you open a new tab, Ecosia opens and the search through the address bar will also be done through Ecosia. Currently, Ecosia is based on Bing, but is in the process of diversifying its search providers. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Critics say that the search results there are worse than those of the competition. Are there any tricks to get more out of it? <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Simone<\/strong>: According to studies, the results are 90 percent the same. I think the skepticism has to do with your own comfort zone – the presentation of the site is a little different, and that’s unfamiliar at first. But you can do something for the environment with just a few clicks. And that in turn feels great! <\/p>\n

Alex<\/strong>: If necessary, you can also add a \u201c#g\u201d after your search term – then you\u2019ll end up with Google\u2019s results. But then, of course, Ecosia doesn’t earn any money. And it won’t grow a tree. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Where do you count how many trees we plant with Telekom searches?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Simone<\/strong>: In the YAM group \u201cGreen Pioneers<\/a>\u201d, we have a monthly overview. Currently, we are at approximately 120,000 trees. Assuming that on average, 45 search queries lead to one tree, this number is likely to increase significantly due to the transition. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
