Each year, our idealo survival insurance supports a climate protection project that offsets 50% of our employees' emissions. For 2023, we've partnered with CarboCert to promote regenerative agriculture, leading to an offset of over 6,000 tons of CO2e. 🌱 To gain a deeper understanding of the project, our co-founder and member of the advisory board Albrecht von Sonntag and some members of our idealo team, alongside SouthPole, a carbon finance consultancy, visited one of the farms involved in this project who implemented regenerative agriculture methods. During our visit, we learned about sustainable farming practices and the vital role of humus in climate change mitigation. Soil can act as a carbon sink through the formation of humus. This fertile top layer of soil contains carbon that has previously been CO2, thus contributing to carbon sequestration. 🌟 Globally, soils are in poor condition, resulting in humus loss, reduced fertility and CO2 release. By supporting sustainable agriculture, we can promote humus accumulation and CO2 sequestration, providing a pathway to less carbon emissions and a healthier environment. 🌱 Want to learn more about our survival insurance initiative and the benefits of regenerative agriculture in the fight against climate change?

“You must be curious and willing to dive into a topic to comprehend it so you can work on it effectively.” Meet Peter Jentsch, Head of Architecture and Software Engineering. “I joined 11 years ago. idealo gave me a chance to be part of creating a new product, which should establish a growth opportunity for an already successful platform. This was the idealo Direktkauf (“direct purchase”, making it possible to purchase products directly through idealo). While developing it, we had a lot of independence and liberties, and I was involved in programming and then launching the product at the end, celebrating its success. Eventually, this product was discontinued, and I and many others got involved with the big “AWS migration” project. While this happened, I had plenty of time and opportunity to decide where to go next – a great opportunity. Eventually, I decided to switch to the position I am currently in. One thing I really enjoy is the opportunity to stick with a project and be along for its journey from start to finish, from the first conceptual phase to the eventual feedback once it is released, whether it’s positive or negative. Over the course of the last couple of years, things have changed, and so has your own perspective – which is very interesting. idealo is constantly working on a lot of things, and a big part of this is developing software.
