Unsworth, Pledge to enhance carbon emissions measurement
Unsworth integrates Pledge’s carbon emissions measurement platform with its freight management app Pathway
Unsworth has integrated Pledge’s carbon emissions measurement platform with its freight management app Pathway. Pledge empowers freight forwarders to enable their customers to understand, report and reduce emissions.
Pathway is a cloud-based supply chain management app designed to democratise digital tools typically reserved for enterprise clients. "The newly integrated functionality enables Unsworth and its customers to measure, understand and report their carbon emissions to allow them to make informed decisions to minimise the carbon footprint of their services," says an official release.
Pledge also ensures that Pathway supports Unsworth’s clients' carbon accounting and emissions reporting requirements by providing them with transparent, auditable reporting on freight emissions, the release added.

“Unsworth customers can now access Pledge’s industry-leading emissions measurement and reporting platform, helping them with climate disclosure obligations and supporting their emissions reduction journey,” says David de Picciotto, CEO and Co-founder, Pledge. “Emissions regulations in the EU and the U.K. require businesses to start reporting on emissions produced from 2024 onwards. To ensure all shippers can comply, forwarders need to provide easy access to emissions measurement and reporting tools for their customers. Unsworth recognises this, and they have chosen to partner with Pledge in order to provide their customers with the necessary tools to meet these evolving demands.”
James Coombs, Head of Innovation, Unsworth adds: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Pledge, having thoroughly analysed the marketplace. This strategic partnership enables us to leverage Pledge’s experience and expertise to better support our clients in their sustainability journey by pushing this new functionality to market quickly through Pathway, our self-designed and developed freight management app. By harnessing Pledge’s API solutions, we will empower our clients to set and achieve their environmental goals while driving positive change in the freight industry.”
