Case Study: Xero cuts IT emissions with Climatiq

How accounting software company Xero uses Climatiq to track and reduce IT emissions

Xero, a global accounting software company, sought to build an internal tool to measure and reduce the environmental impact of its complex IT infrastructure. The challenge was to develop a solution that could integrate into their existing systems, provide granular carbon data without excessive manual effort, and minimize the development workload for their team.

Climatiq provided the solution with its API and comprehensive emissions data. By integrating directly into Xero's systems, Climatiq's API automatically converted AWS usage data into reliable carbon insights. This enabled Xero to build its "Footprint" tool, which has already driven significant emissions reductions; one team identified and removed software responsible for 80% of a component's emissions.
