Sustainability according to Billogram
By digitizing invoicing and payments, we help companies reduce their environmental impact, improve customer relationships, and create more sustainable financial processes. Together, we contribute to a socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable future.
Reduced climate impact through digitization
Did you know that a digital invoice generates 87% less CO₂ emissions compared to a paper invoice? By the end of 2024, 80% of all invoices sent via our platform were fully digital.
By digitizing payment flows, we help companies save thousands of trees and reduce their environmental impact – an important step towards a more sustainable future.
Build sustainable customer relationships
Unlike many in the industry, we do not profit from reminder fees and debt collection. Instead, we want our customers to benefit from satisfied customers and seamless payments.
With our Smart Dunning functionality – gentle reminders, flexible payment options, and clear invoice communication – we create a fairer payment experience. This strengthens customer relationships and reduces the risk of debt spirals, contributing to social sustainability.
