Freedom, Responsibility, and Trust by defaultWe believe in freedom as the foundation of our daily work since it is only in freedom that the enthusiasm, curiosity, and creativity that make our work so successful and joyful can develop. The basis for freedom is the trust in our employees to use this freedom in the best intention for idealo, our users, and partners. And that also means that responsibility, as the second essential foundation, is lived where people and teams are taking decisions directly.

Our company values are an integral part of our company philosophy. They form the foundation for entrepreneurial, ethical, and collaborative collaboration. They are key to achieving our company goals.

Openness and honesty

We see openness and honesty as the basis for interacting with one another. This allows us to collaborate as a team with mutual trust and to achieve more with more joy than we could on our own.

Courage and tolerance

We have the courage to take responsibility for our own work and the courage to admit our own mistakes and address them. Those two things go together.
We show tolerance for the mistakes of others and create a safe space so it will be easier for everyone to openly admit to their own mistakes.

Integrity

We act with integrity and in accordance with our convictions. We stand behind our statements and do not just talk the talk but also walk the walk. We cultivate this integrity both within idealo and with respect to our users and partners.
