Logistics climate tech firm Pledge has launched a service that will allow forwarders to offer carbon credit offsets to their customers.
The new “Impact Links” solution is white-labelled to allow forwarders to add their own branding. It also includes the company’s recently launched carbon calculator.
It can be embedded on websites, emailed to customers or shared with a QR code.
Carbon credits purchased through Impact Links are selected from one of Pledge’s offsetting portfolios.
These portfolios support various verified carbon removal and avoidance projects, from nature-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects such as reforestation, to CDR technologies, like enhanced weathering.
Pledge handles all aspects of the transaction, including processing payment and issuing a certificate, which customers can use as proof of their purchased offset credits.
The firm’s chief executive, David de Picciotto, said: “Our platform helps freight forwarders gain a competitive advantage by enabling their customers to take action on unavoidable emissions in a way that is simple, reliable, and independently verified.”
