CEEZER Partners with Celonis to Advance Climate Contribution Strategy With New Carbon Removal Portfolio Investment

MUNICH & BERLIN — CEEZER, the global leader in carbon credit portfolios, today announces a partnership with Celonis, the global leader in process intelligence. Through forward purchases — agreements to buy carbon credits before they are generated — Celonis will provide crucial upfront capital that enables project developers to scale their operations and accelerate carbon removal efforts.

The partnership highlights Celonis’ commitment to “climate contribution,” combining both emission reduction and active investment in innovative climate projects to accelerate global climate action, including Indian Carboneers and Oregon Biochar Solutions in the U.S., as well as Mati Carbon, an enhanced rock weathering project with operations in India, Zambia and Tanzania.

"Our climate contribution strategy aims to advance meaningful climate action that drives real innovation in the carbon removal space," says Celonis Sustainability and Climate Change Lead Sophia Wieland. "By focusing on carbon removal and investing in forward purchases, we're actively contributing to the development of crucial climate solutions. This partnership with CEEZER enables us to access high-quality projects that align with our data-driven approach to sustainability." The partnership leverages CEEZER's digital platform to ensure transparency and quality in carbon credit procurement, with a particular focus on projects demonstrating strong additionality and measurable impact. The selected projects meet crucial quality criteria, including robust calculation methods, validation against carbon removal standards, and significant co-benefits for local communities. “Celonis exemplifies the next generation of corporate climate action, where companies move beyond simple offsetting to become active participants in scaling climate solutions,” explains Magnus Drewelies, CEO and founder of CEEZER. “Its openness to engage in forward purchases and invest in carbon removal technologies demonstrates the kind of innovative thinking needed to accelerate the development of the voluntary carbon market.”

Celonis' investment strategy particularly emphasizes biochar projects that combine high permanence in carbon storage with data-driven innovation in monitoring. The company's support of both artisanal and industrial biochar production aims to leverage complementary advantages, including local community empowerment and economies of scale. This partnership marks a valuable step in Celonis' broader net-zero climate strategy, which includes developing emission reduction targets, driving clear reduction measures and investing in climate projects to advance global climate action beyond its value chain. “We're excited to partner with Celonis on its long-term climate ambition by supporting its innovative approach to climate action through our team’s deep market expertise and our platform’s expanding project portfolio,” says Drewelies.
