• Blue Yonder adds Pledge’s ISO-aligned, GLEC-conformant emissions tracking to its supply chain platform.
• Acquisition enables enterprise customers to automate Scope 3 logistics emissions reporting and improve regulatory compliance (CSRD, SBTi, CDP).
• New capability supports cost reduction and sustainability by identifying inefficiencies in transportation and logistics operations.

Blue Yonder has acquired the business of Pledge Earth Technologies, a UK-based climate tech firm, to integrate precise and accredited carbon emissions reporting into its end-to-end supply chain platform.

Founded in 2021, Pledge developed a cloud-based system that automates the collection of shipment data from logistics partners, enabling accurate emissions calculations across transport modes—air, inland, and sea. This enhances Blue Yonder’s offering by giving enterprise customers a seamless way to track Scope 3 emissions and meet global reporting standards.

“At Pledge, we believe that technology is a powerful catalyst in the fight against climate change,” said David de Picciotto, CEO and co-founder of Pledge. “By joining forces with Blue Yonder, we are multiplying our reach and our impact, giving the largest enterprise supply chains on the planet access to the tools they need to measure, report, and cut carbon.”

The integration brings ISO 14083-aligned and GLEC framework-conformant emissions reporting directly into Blue Yonder’s platform. This lets businesses monitor emissions not just within their operations, but across their full network of suppliers and logistics providers—closing a critical data gap in Scope 3 reporting.

“The ability to easily and accurately quantify precise emissions is a huge win for our customers’ sustainability initiatives,” said Saskia van Gendt, Chief Sustainability Officer at Blue Yonder. “But it’s also about what you can do with that information—reducing cost, improving accountability, and targeting inefficiencies for improvement.”

Unlike single-party carbon tools, Pledge’s solution plugs directly into logistics carrier networks, providing traceable, real-time emissions data that scales across global operations. The move positions Blue Yonder customers for stronger ESG outcomes while supporting compliance with emerging sustainability regulations such as CSRD, SBTi, and CDP.

“Accredited emissions reporting is the gold standard for high-quality data,” said Bjoern Stengel, Global Sustainability Research Lead at IDC. “Blue Yonder’s strategic acquisition of Pledge’s capabilities will propel its customers toward smarter, more impactful sustainability management.”

With this expansion, Blue Yonder customers can make data-driven decisions to avoid empty miles, optimize fuel use, and reduce environmental impact—all while improving transparency and audit readiness in increasingly complex global supply chains.
