Pledge joins the Chain.io network, offering freight forwarders plug-and-play access to accredited emissions calculations and insights

At Pledge, we’ve joined the Chain.io network to further enable their customers to make frictionless freight emissions calculations in minutes.

Using Pledge’s adapter built using Chain.io’s Open Connect, freight forwarders can now plug their TMS into the Pledge platform, automating the conversion of shipment data into accredited scope 3 emissions calculations.

Unlock emissions visibility using shipment data

The demand for freight forwarders to start offering emissions measurement and reporting is rapidly growing. Regulations such as the CSRD in the EU require shippers to start reporting their scope 3 emissions as soon as next year. As freight forwarders hold the shipment data necessary for emissions calculations, it falls on them to provide this service for their customers.

This new integration enables forwarders that want to offer freight emissions measurement to their customers to get started in minutes. It’s one of the many ways we’re helping to reduce friction in emissions calculations and reporting, making sustainability more accessible in the transport and logistics industry.

"This integration allows freight forwarders and their customers to take a significant step forward in managing their emissions," said David de Picciotto, Co-founder and CEO of Pledge. "By collaborating with Chain.io, we’re making it easy for forwarders to access our accredited logistics emissions solution, regardless of their current TMS setup."

“Measuring and reducing carbon emissions is no longer a choice, but a necessity for businesses across the world to meet new regulations and sustainability promises,” said Brian Glick, CEO of Chain.io. “We are excited to welcome Pledge to the Chain.io network, further enabling our customers with the data they need to accurately track and measure their carbon footprint.
