Bloom Group

What Bloom Group does

Bloom Group Limited (trading as Bloom ESG) is a UK-based climate-tech company founded in 2021 that operates a registry-grade platform for issuing, tracking, transferring, and retiring Low-Carbon IT Certificates tied to circular electronics activity. The company serves two primary customer segments: IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) providers, refurbishers, and electronics recyclers who use Bloom's Environmental Benefits Calculator and API integrations to generate ISO 14064-verified avoided emissions data at the order level, and large enterprises with significant IT hardware footprints seeking verifiable Scope 3 Category 1/2 evidence to support net-zero strategies aligned with SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0.

Bloom's product portfolio spans four certificate types — IT Asset Reuse Certificates (I-TECs), Avoided Emissions Certificates, I-MAT Certificates (materials recovery), and I-MAT AE Certificates (materials avoided emissions) — issued through the Bloom Registry. The underlying methodology uses OEM-specific emissions factors sourced from manufacturers including Apple, Dell, and HP, combined with primary smelter and recovery-process data, yielding avoided emissions results the company claims are 4.5x more accurate than the EPA WARM generic model. The Environmental Benefits Calculator covers 300+ electronic asset categories and includes a Critical Metals Conserved metric for cobalt, lithium, and rare earths. Distribution occurs through direct enterprise sales, channel partnerships with ITADs, and native integration with Makor ERP serving 100+ ITAD operators.

Revenue is generated through certificate issuance fees (transaction-based), subscription fees for the Environmental Benefits Calculator and corporate Scope 3 reporting solution, API/ERP integration services, and fixed-price licensing (e.g., £3,000 for 12 months for the THG Eco x Bloom Carbon Accounting SKU). Pricing is flexible across per-batch, per-certificate, monthly subscription, and enterprise partner tiers. The 6-person team operates 100% remote and has signed strategic partnerships with e-Stewards, Dynamic Lifecycle Innovations, Sage Sustainable Electronics, Appliance Recycling Group, Makor ERP, THG Eco, Evreka, and EPC. No funding rounds or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Certificate Issuance Fees: Bloom issues Low-Carbon IT Certificates (I-TECs, Avoided Emissions Certificates) to ITADs and processors. Certificates are tradeable instruments that can be sold to corporate buyers. Revenue generated from each certificate issued and tracked through the registry.
2. Environmental Benefits Calculator Subscription: ITADs and recyclers pay subscription fees to access the ISO-verified impact reporting tools and calculator. Most ITADs are up and running within four weeks with no in-house ESG team needed.
3. Platform Integration Services: API integrations and custom connectors into ITAD ERP systems. Integration into Makor ERP allows operators to surface Bloom ESG environmental impact metrics directly to customers.
4. Carbon Accounting Solutions: Carbon accounting platform for THG partners and suppliers. Fixed price licensing model for 12-month periods.

Core offering

Bloom ESG issues Low-Carbon IT Certificates (I-TECs, Avoided Emissions Certificates, I-MAT and I-MAT AE Certificates) through its proprietary Bloom Registry, quantifying the verified environmental benefits of IT asset reuse, refurbishment, and recycling using ISO 14064-verified methodology. The platform is delivered to IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers and large enterprises via web tools, APIs, and embedded ERP integrations, with certificates tradable or retirement-able against corporate Scope 3 targets.

Product overview

Bloom ESG operates a modular sustainability measurement and certification platform focused on environmental certificates for circular IT. The core offering comprises the Bloom Registry for issuing, tracking, transferring, and retiring certificates; Low-Carbon IT Certificates (including I-TECs, I-MAT Certificates, and I-MAT AE Certificates); and the Environmental Benefits Calculator developed in partnership with e-Stewards. I-TECs represent the verified lower carbon intensity of refurbished IT hardware (up to 90% lower than new manufacture), while I-MAT Certificates verify material recovery and I-MAT AE Certificates quantify avoided emissions from materials recovery. The Environmental Benefits Calculator quantifies Scope 4 avoided emissions from electronics reuse across 300+ asset categories, now extended with a Critical Metals Conserved metric for cobalt, lithium, and rare earths. The Bloom Registry provides the infrastructure for certificate trading, while the Makor ERP integration embeds environmental data directly into ITAD operational workflows. Platform is built on ISO 14064-verified methodology with independent third-party verification and registry-grade tracking to prevent double counting.

Emerging players

• Emitwise: Carbon management platform specialising in product-level and supply-chain Scope 3 calculations. Comparable in methodology and target buyer overlap but lacks Bloom's certificate registry.

Direct peers

• Cloverly: API-first carbon credit and offset marketplace with verified avoidance and removal credits. Comparable to Bloom in delivering verified environmental certificates as tradable instruments to enterprise buyers.
• Normative: Carbon accounting engine focused on Scope 3 emissions and supply-chain hotspots. Comparable in helping enterprises produce auditable carbon reports, though it does not issue circular-IT specific certificates.
• Sage Sustainable Electronics: ITAD provider operating an ISO 14064-certified carbon credit programme with Bloom. Direct peer/partner delivering verified avoidance certificates from IT asset disposition to enterprise buyers.
• South Pole Group: Climate solutions provider issuing and trading verified carbon credits across avoidance and removal categories. Comparable registry/credit infrastructure model and corporate buyer overlap, though operating at much larger scale.
• Patch: Carbon credit API and embedded infrastructure enabling businesses to calculate and purchase carbon offsets programmatically. Closely comparable to Bloom's registry/transaction layer for verified environmental instruments.

Broad incumbents

• Watershed: Enterprise climate platform offering carbon accounting, reporting and reduction across Scope 1-3. Overlaps with Bloom in helping corporates manage and verify IT-related Scope 3 emissions, but at much broader scope and scale.
• Persefoni: Climate Management & Accounting Platform serving enterprises with carbon footprint measurement across Scope 1-3. Comparable to Bloom's corporate Scope 3 functionality but without circular-IT certificate issuance.
• Sphera: ESG and operational risk software including carbon accounting and Scope 3 management for large enterprises. Broad incumbent with overlapping Scope 3 reporting capability.
• Greenly: Carbon accounting platform with Scope 3 supply-chain reporting. Comparable target buyer (corporates needing verified carbon data) but operates at broader scope, including SMBs.
