We are the creators of the world’s largest ocean and air freight rate benchmarking and market analytics platform. Xeneta's core business is selling access to a platform that makes information about sea and air freight available. The platform aims to provide users with information that allows them to monitor the market and measure results. Access to our platform is sold to businesses around the world.
Our headquarters in Oslo is the heart of our organization, where our visionary leadership and culture of innovation and transparency drive our global initiatives forward. Meanwhile, our, Germany, UK and US offices are a strategic hub for our business development and customer support. With a worldwide footprint spanning continents, we aim to become the global ocean and air freight reference point.
In 2026, we expanded our footprint through the acquisition of eeSea APS, a Danish company specializing in ocean schedule and reliability data. eeSea's operations, employees, and supply chain have been fully integrated into Xeneta's governance framework, and all eeSea personnel are subject to the same Code of Conduct and ethical standards that apply across the wider Xeneta group.
Transparency is ingrained in everything we do, from decision-making processes to communication channels, ensuring that every member of our organization feels valued, informed, and empowered. With a team of 230 dedicated individuals from over 10+ nationalities spread across our offices, we work towards a shared vision of excellence. Diversity is our superpower; we transform differences into assets, embracing the distinct contributions of each individual as vital components of our shared achievements.
At Xeneta, we believe transparency builds trust. We are committed to complying with the requirements set out in the Norwegian Transparency Act, which entered into force on July 1, 2022 (Åpenhetsloven), and working on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. We recognize these obligations as regulatory requirements and integral components of our responsibility to stakeholders, society, customers, and suppliers. At Xeneta, transparency is a fundamental principle that guides our actions, strengthens our relationships, and ensures that our operations are conducted with integrity and openness.
We recognize that respecting and promoting human rights is a moral imperative and fundamental to Responsible Business Practices (RBP). Our commitment to upholding human rights in alignment with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the International Labor Organization’s Declaration (ILO), and the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact extends across every facet of our operations, from our supply chain to interaction with employees, customers, and communities. We are proud to say that our business activities do not contribute to or benefit from human rights abuses.
We operate with utmost respect for human rights standards, ensuring that our actions and decisions uphold the dignity and rights of every individual. This commitment is embedded in our values and enforced through our Code of Conduct, which is mandatory for all employees and new joiners to preserve our ethical standards. Our firm belief is that everyone deserves to be treated with fairness, equality, and compassion. Our commitment to these principles ensures that we do not infringe upon or negatively impact anyone in our sphere of influence. We prioritize ethical conduct and accountability, understanding that our actions significantly impact the industry we operate in, defining not only who we are but also shaping the experiences of everyone with a direct or indirect relationship to our business.
Xeneta does not tolerate any harassment, discrimination, or bullying. We are an equal opportunity employer and make all decisions based on internationally recognized human rights policies. We are committed to ensuring fair wages and the right of workers to organize and join unions. We also adhere to and respect all applicable local labor laws and regulations in every location where we operate. Our culture creates a safe and healthy workplace environment where everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religion, or ability, feels valued and respected. We allow individuals to thrive based on skills, talents, and hard work rather than arbitrary barriers or biases.
We work under the mindset that ownership drives impact. Taking ownership of our actions and assuming responsibility for our outcomes fosters a culture of accountability and initiative, where employees are motivated to contribute their best efforts and take ownership of the company’s success. We prioritize proactive risk management to safeguard our operations and uphold our commitment to responsible business practices.
We have implemented a robust Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) framework as part of our commitment to transparency and responsible business practices. From the outset, third parties are thoroughly assessed to determine the level of risk they may pose, allowing us to systematically identify, evaluate, and prioritize potential risks across our supply chain. This structured approach strengthens our due diligence efforts by ensuring we focus on the risks and adverse impacts most likely to affect our stakeholders and operations.
In 2026, we took this framework further by introducing a unified supplier management process covering all stages of the supplier lifecycle — from onboarding and renewals through to offboarding. Supplier assessments are now conducted in a structured and consistent manner, supported by centralized visibility over our entire third-party landscape. We utilize dedicated tools to detect and monitor risks on an ongoing basis, enabling a more data-driven and consistent evaluation process. Regular reviews ensure that our third parties remain aligned with industry standards and our ethical expectations, allowing us to proactively address any adverse impacts before they escalate.
The insights generated through our TPRM framework directly inform our human rights due diligence strategies, enabling us to prioritize actions that safeguard the well-being and dignity of all individuals involved in our operations. Through this proactive and structured approach, we meet our legal and ethical obligations and foster a culture of transparency, trust, and respect — both within our organization and with our external partners. As a result of this ongoing effort, we have not identified any actual adverse human rights impacts across our operations to date.
We thrive in modernization through data; Xeneta’s operations are deeply rooted in data-driven decision-making. Data is the lifeblood that fuels our products and strategies, driving innovation, guiding our actions, and enabling continuous improvement. Our comprehensive risk assessments have led to tangible, positive outcomes, particularly in mitigating adverse impacts on human rights. These efforts have enhanced stakeholder trust, improved operational efficiency, and confirmed a low risk profile for Xeneta in areas related to human rights and decent labor conditions under the Transparency Act and OECD guidelines. Our third-party due diligence process ensures that all partners align with international human rights standards by reviewing indicators such as the Corruption Perception Index, Fragile States Index, and Sanctions Lists. We assess third parties' labor practices and require agreement with our Third Party Code of Conduct. A foundational document that upholds ethical behavior, respect for human dignity, and compliance with globally recognized human rights principles. Through this, we foster a responsible and values-driven network committed to a culture of respect, protection, and ethical collaboration.
We recognize that suppliers may operate within diverse cultural, economic, and regulatory contexts, and thus, their ethical standards and labor practices may vary. While we strive for consistency in upholding human rights and decent labor conditions across our supply chain, we understand that achieving uniformity may be challenging for all parties involved. We acknowledge and appreciate the efforts made by our suppliers to comply with human rights principles and improve labor standards within their operations.
We are committed to fostering open communication, providing support, and collaborating with suppliers to address challenges and implement meaningful improvements. By working together in a spirit of partnership and mutual respect, we aim to continuously raise the bar for ethical conduct and promote sustainable practices throughout our supply network.
As a young and growing company, We are committed to continuously enhancing our due diligence processes to identify and mitigate potential risks related to human rights and decent working conditions. Through ongoing learning, collaboration with industry experts, and the use of dedicated technology, we refine our risk assessment approach and act promptly on any shortcomings identified across our supply chain.
To support this, we have established secure communication channels that give employees a safe and confidential space to report concerns, while promoting open dialogue between employees and management for early identification of potential risks. In 2025, we formalized this further by launching a dedicated internal whistleblowing channel, designed to handle all reports with full discretion and in compliance with applicable legislation. We are committed to extending this channel to customers and suppliers by end of 2026.
Suppliers are also encouraged to reach out directly at compliance@xeneta.com with any questions or concerns. Together, these channels ensure that every stakeholder — internal and external — can contribute to our shared commitment to transparency, ethical conduct, and respect for human rights.
