Smart Freight Centre and Shift4Good Launch First-of-its-kind Strategic Partnership

This collaboration is grounded in strong complementarity. SFC brings a global coalition of over 200 members - representing more than €15 trillion in market capitalisation and employing over 10 million people worldwide - giving it one of the most operationally influential networks in international transport and supply chains. This industry reach and technical credibility are complemented by Shift4Good’s capacity to identify, finance and accelerate high-impact transport and energy solutions.

Building on SFC’s track record - including the creation and global deployment of the leading carbon accounting standard for freight - this initiative marks a new step in expanding SFC’s impact from measurement and coalition-building to the structured acceleration of solutions at scale.

Bridging Industry, Innovation and Strategic Alignment

Through this collaboration, SFC will act as an ecosystem partner, connecting real-world freight challenges with emerging solutions, while Shift4Good will continue to independently manage its investment vehicles focused on zero- and low-emission transport and energy systems.

The partnership is designed to:

• Strengthen alignment between industrial adoption realities and innovation deployment

• Foster dialogue between corporates and solution providers

• Support the deployment and industrialisation of practical decarbonisation solutions across multimodal transport

Beyond collaboration, the ambition is to build a durable framework capable of reshaping how capital and industry interact to accelerate the global decarbonisation of transport.

A Long-Term Collaborative Ecosystem

This partnership will come to life through a shared investment platform, cross-regional initiatives, and joint industry engagement.

At its core is a common investment platform designed to structurally connect corporate demand with high-impact transport and energy solutions, anchoring long-term collaboration between industry and innovators.

In parallel, focused cross-regional initiatives — including in Singapore and Canada — will strengthen collaboration across complementary markets at a time when energy sovereignty, supply-chain resilience and industrial competitiveness are increasingly intertwined.

Shift4Good will also participate in the upcoming Smart Freight Week (April 14–16), contributing a keynote intervention and maintaining an active presence throughout the event to foster dialogue between industry leaders, innovators and investors.
