London, 17th November 2025 — Bloom ESG, the climate-tech company bringing integrity and transparency to circular IT, today announced the launch of its IT Asset Reuse Certificates (I-TECs™), a new category of Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) designed to help enterprises reduce emissions in their Scope 3 Purchased Goods and Capital Goods categories.
I-TECs™ provide verified, registry-based documentation of the emissions benefits created by refurbished IT hardware, enabling organizations to attribute lower-emissions performance to their value chain in alignment with the Science Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) latest Corporate Net-Zero Standard (CNZS) draft guidance.
A New Tool for Real Scope 3 Reductions
With global demand for AI growing exponentially, investment in IT infrastructure is now one of the largest drivers of emissions within corporate supply chains. Most organizations have limited visibility into upstream activity and few tools for influencing or supporting emissions reductions outside their direct operations.
Bloom’s I-TECs address this challenge head-on. Each certificate represents the verified emissions benefit of IT refurbishment activity performed in the broader IT asset activity pool. Using an ISO-aligned methodology and third-party verification, Bloom quantifies the climate advantage of keeping hardware in use. That impact is then issued as a traceable, exclusive, auditable certificate—providing enterprises with a clear mechanism to support and claim reduced emissions intensity in their supply chain.
“I-TECs unlock a new lever for Scope 3 performance, enabling hyper-scalers and data centre owners to support real circular IT activity while receiving evidence-grade documentation of its emissions benefits,” said Sebastian Foot, Co-founder and CEO of Bloom. “For years, the climate value of refurbished IT has been enormous but largely unrecognised. I-TECs change that.”
Aligned With SBTi’s Emerging Framework for EACs
SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard Version 2 draft guidance emphasizes the role of energy and commodity EACs in documenting environmental performance across value chains, provided they are supported by:
- Transparent, standardized methodologies
- Exclusive claim rights
- Chain-of-custody tracking
- Registry-based issuance and retirement
- Clear attribution
- Verifiable activity and calculations
Bloom’s I-TECs were intentionally designed around these integrity principles.
“I-TECs bring the rigour that the SBTi expects, including exclusive issuance, transparent calculations, and documented chain-of-custody, to an overlooked but high-impact part of the value chain: circular IT,” said Amanda Bond, Co-founder and Head of Client Solutions at Bloom. “This is the kind of attribute-based accounting that corporate climate teams have come to demand as they accelerate towards their net-zero targets.”
Bringing Integrity to Circular IT Claims
Until now, most organisations have relied on inconsistent, spreadsheet-based reporting to describe the benefits of device reuse — a process that’s difficult to verify and hard to defend in audits.
I-TECs replace informal reporting with auditable, registry-based evidence, including:
- Defined asset batches and refurbishment activities
- ISO-aligned emissions calculations
- Independent third-party verification
- Exclusive claim rights and permanent registry records
This creates a consistent, defensible accounting framework for the climate benefits of circular IT: built for scrutiny, assurance, and leading net-zero standards.
Accelerating Circular Procurement and Value-Chain Decarbonization
With IT procurement cycles accelerating and hardware footprints expanding, enterprises increasingly need ways to decarbonize their supply chains without compromising performance or operational resilience. I-TECs enable organizations to:
- Demonstrate measurable Scope 3 performance improvements
- Support lower-emissions procurement decisions
- Direct investment toward verified refurbishment activity
- Meet stakeholder expectations for credible climate action
- Strengthen ESG reporting with third-party-verified data
This approach rewards ITADs and refurbishers who deliver high-quality, verifiable circularity outcomes — and helps hyper-scalers and data centre owners to scale circular IT beyond their internal operations.
