Sage Sustainable Electronics
Overview
Bloom ESG partnered with Sage Sustainable Electronics to launch the industry’s first ISO 14064-certified carbon credit system for IT asset disposition (ITAD), enabling enterprises to turn responsible tech retirement into measurable, verifiable, and tradable climate impact.
Challenge
Enterprises have long struggled to convert the environmental benefits of responsible electronics reuse and recycling into tangible business value. Despite significant carbon savings from ITAD best practices, the sector lacked a standardized, auditable system to quantify, certify, and monetize these positive impacts.
Solution
Through this collaboration, Bloom ESG and Sage introduced a groundbreaking, cloud-based impact reporting platform:
- ISO 14064-Certified Reporting: The system provides independently verified, asset-level traceability of avoided emissions, ensuring full integrity and regulatory compliance.
- Carbon Registry and Credits: Sage clients can now access a Carbon Avoidance Dashboard within their customer portal, allowing them to generate, track, and trade certified carbon credits—known as insets—derived from refurbishing, reusing, or properly recycling electronics.
- First-to-Market Offering: This is the first ITAD solution to offer certified credits that can be used toward enterprise net zero goals or traded on the voluntary carbon market, eliminating the risk of double counting.
Impact
- Measurable ROI: Sage customers can now monetize their sustainability efforts, turning surplus tech processing into a strategic ESG advantage and increasing their return on investment from ITAD56.
- Market Leadership: The partnership sets a new industry benchmark, with Sage’s robust chain-of-custody controls and Bloom ESG’s digital platform delivering unprecedented transparency and trust
- Client Value: Early adopters received 1,000 free carbon credits to establish their carbon registry account, supporting rapid uptake and immediate climate action
“Certified credits increase our customers’ reward for doing the right thing”
“Our clients have long prioritised sustainability in surplus tech disposal—certified credits now reward that commitment with tangible value.”
