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 South Pole, 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 carbon sinks 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?

We are thrilled to announce that two of our Senior Machine Learning Engineers, Gunar Maiwald and Tobias Senst, will attend the IT-Tage 2024 of Informatik Aktuell - Fachmagazin in Frankfurt am Main on 10 December. 🙌 They will hold a session on "Testing ML-Ops: The Foundation for the Operation of Machine Learning" ("Testing ML-Ops: Das Fundament für den Betrieb von Machine Learning"), which will provide insights on testing ML systems in production environments. At idealo, as one of Europe’s leading price comparison platforms, we face the challenge of automatically cataloguing more than 1,5 billion offers from over 50,000 merchants. Machine Learning plays a key role, but ensuring the reliability of these models in production is critical to success.  🚀 In this talk, they will share their approaches to testing machine learning-based software, covering traditional testing, cloud-based architectures, ML-specific challenges, and automated test integration in CI/CT/CD pipelines.  🔗 You can find more information and register here: https://bit.ly/4e0yw6v #idealo #idealolife #ITTage2024 #MachineLearning #SoftwareTesting   

"At idealo, we've taken several steps over the years to increase the representation of women in leadership and technical roles." 💙  Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a WomenHack event at our office alongside Bonial Germany and Axel Springer National Media & Tech GmbH & Co. KG.  WomenHack is an organisation dedicated to promoting gender equality in technology. Through speed dating, attendees had the unique opportunity to meet various people, share insights, learn from each other and network. 🙌    Special thanks to Nicole Jänchen, Vice President Web, who introduced idealo at the event and shared our efforts to promote gender equality in the workplace.  Currently, 45% of our employees at all levels are women. Looking specifically at leadership positions, the figure is 42% – from team leaders to our Executive Board. But we are not stopping here. As part of Axel Springer's Gender Balanced Leadership (GBL) initiative, we are committed to increasing the proportion of women in leadership positions at idealo to 44% by 2026.   Thank you to all participants for an inspiring evening full of great conversations and a wonderful atmosphere. 🌟   #idealo #idealolife #WomenHack #GenderEquality

“We are creating exchange formats that allow everyone to contribute their ideas.” 💚   Over a decade ago, passionate idealo employees formed the GREENteam to promote sustainability and climate action. Today, it remains a cornerstone of our sustainability efforts – which have evolved a lot since then. We have since introduced a sustainability strategy, and our sustainability team is collaborating with various teams to embed environmental goals across the company and encourage active participation from our employees.  In her article for Changement-Magazin, Jeruscha Schanda, Sustainability Manager at idealo, explores how idealo fosters employee engagement in sustainability initiatives such as the GREENteam, emphasising the importance of giving employees the space to lead. What motivates them to get involved, and what unique projects have made a real difference?   🔗 You can find the answers to these questions here (German): https://bit.ly/4dQqxsy #idealo #idealolife #Sustainability #SustainableWorkplace

Recently, we hosted our first Retail Summit, bringing together key players from the retail industry to exchange insights on consumer electronics. 💙 The event started with a warm welcome from our Managing Director, Jörn Rehse, followed by a keynote from Timo Wittkopf, Team Lead for Sales & Account Management, who shared his expertise on consumer electronics and idealo’s role in the market. Florian Kriegel, Team Lead for External Communication, then offered a deep dive into idealo’s users, while Darja Grauel, Project Manager of Local Merchants, explored user behavior, emerging trends, and product updates at idealo. We were also fortunate to have valuable contributions from our external speakers. Simon Frank provided strategic insights on the impact of coupons, and Dr. Tim Seewöster, co-CEO of asgoodasnew, alongside Dr. Marianne Kuhlmann, co-founder and Managing Director of Circularity, offered their perspectives during a thought-provoking panel discussion on how preloved products are reshaping the retail landscape. 🛍️   Participants also enjoyed an office tour and plenty of networking opportunities, making the event both insightful and engaging.   We’re grateful for the vibrant exchange and the positive feedback from all attendees, and we look forward to the next Retail Summit! 🙌 Many thanks also to Dinah Keshishian and Louis Hanke for the great moderation! #idealo #idealolife #idealoRetailSummit #RetailSummit #B2B

Last week, Rishabh Budhiraja, Software Engineer at idealo, gave an insightful talk at the React Day Berlin Meetup on "Modernising a Complex Frontend Domain at idealo." 🙌  As one of Europe's largest price comparison sites, idealo faced challenges with one of the company's most complex frontend codebases, hindering team autonomy and slowing the development process for multiple teams. In late 2023, idealo began modernising its frontend with Astro and React, using a Micro Frontend pattern to give teams more ownership of their components.     The talk explored why this modernisation was necessary, highlighting the key requirements: speed, costs, and enabling decentralised development. 💻 The Proof-of-Concept (PoC) team chose Astro for its island architecture, server-side rendering, and "no JavaScript by default" approach to meet these needs. The PoC team developed a Decoupled Modular Frontend Solution that fosters team autonomy, domain-driven design, and faster delivery.💙 #idealo #idealolife #react #softwareengineering
