Oxceed Leads the Way in Climate Action – An Inspiring Journey Toward Lower Emissions

As a leading SaaS company in financial reporting, budgeting, and analysis, Oxceed has not only digitized financial management for over 20,000 businesses but has also taken significant steps to reduce its own—and its customers'—carbon footprint. In 2024, the company lowered its emissions by over 7 tons of CO₂e, a reduction of 16.1% compared to the previous year.

Smart Initiatives for a Sustainable Future

Oxceed’s journey toward lower emissions began with an insightful climate assessment through GoClimate. By gaining a clear understanding of its carbon footprint, the company quickly identified key areas for improvement—business travel being a natural focus. Implementing a "train-first policy" and setting stricter requirements for alternative travel options for customer meetings, conferences, and other trips led to a swift reduction in travel-related emissions. In addition, Oxceed has stepped up its recycling efforts and ensured that vegetarian options dominate all company food purchases.

Engagement-Driven Climate Action

One key realization for Oxceed was the complexity of systematically working with emission reductions. However, with the right support and tools, it became a manageable challenge.

"With GoClimate’s help, we’ve learned how to interpret the numbers, put them into context, and—most importantly—act on them. It’s a challenge, but also incredibly rewarding!" says Elif Schmidt, CEO of Oxceed.

At the same time, the internal engagement has been a pleasant surprise. Despite initial concerns that change might be slow, the team quickly embraced the new routines and showed a strong commitment to making a difference.

Future Goals and Customer Impact

Looking ahead to 2025, Oxceed is taking its efforts even further by establishing a dedicated project group responsible for internal follow-ups, new action plans, and overseeing the newly implemented climate budgeting module in Oxceed. By intensifying efforts at every level, the company is eager to continue reducing its climate impact.

These sustainability initiatives also align with the climate impact analysis Oxceed offers its customers through GoClimate. The feature has been well received, and Oxceed is currently analyzing 2024 customer data to assess how much the service has helped clients reduce their emissions.

Oxceed’s journey proves that technology, financial management, and sustainability can go hand in hand. By acting on insights, challenging traditional ways of working, and engaging both employees and customers, the company is paving the way for a more sustainable future—one report at a time.
