I-TECs and the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0
The SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 was published in June 2026. It replaces the consultation drafts and establishes the definitive integrity criteria for commodity Environmental Attribute Certificates within the SBTi target implementation hierarchy.
I-TECs are designed to satisfy criteria C21 through C28 of the published standard, covering the target implementation hierarchy, activity pool boundary definition, market instrument integrity criteria, and registry requirements.
The full criterion-by-criterion alignment guide is maintained on the Bloom ESG website and is updated as further SBTi guidance is issued.

I-TECs are Bloom’s primary Low-Carbon IT Certificate sub-product and the only one with a defined compliance pathway under CNZS V2.0.
What the standard means for registry users:
ITADs issuing I-TECs
Certificates issued through the Bloom Registry satisfy the registry and traceability requirements under CNZS-C28. No additional steps are required beyond the standard issuance process.
Corporates purchasing I-TECs with hardware
the certificate supports an activity-level action under CNZS-C21, flowing into the Scope 3 Cat 1/2 physical GHG inventory. Retire the certificate in the Bloom Registry to establish an exclusive, auditable claim.
Corporates purchasing I-TECs as certificates only
this constitutes an activity pool-level action under CNZS-C21, reported separately from the physical GHG inventory as a system contribution claim. Retire the certificate in the Bloom Registry to support disclosure.
