With the Climate Crisis looming, lots of companies want to do their part. But asking customers to “offset the CO2 emission of this delivery” is usually a hammer to crack a nut. There is very little transparency around carbon offsets. Plus, smaller companies want to access high-quality carbon credits, but calculate their impact at a product, services and transactional-level, and be able to purchase a fraction of a carbon credit rather than a very inaccurate “scheme.”

Pledge is a startup which is aimed at industries like freight forwarding, ride hailing, travel, and last-mile delivery, where customers can be presented with how to add offsets to their transactions.
