How Bloomy Earth handles CO₂ impact

At Bloomy Earth, we believe climate action should be visible, meaningful, and trustworthy.

That’s why we make a clear distinction between:

• the impact you create, and

• the CO₂ that can be officially reported.

This approach lets everyone engage with real ecosystem restoration, while ensuring full compliance with carbon accounting standards.

Two types of carbon impact, one transparent rule

When trees are planted on Bloomy Earth, they always generate real environmental impact.

However, not all CO₂ impact serves the same purpose.

To avoid confusion — and any risk of double counting — Bloomy Earth separates carbon impact into two clearly identified categories.

🌥 Claimable Carbon Impact

This represents CO₂ linked to trees purchased directly (by an individual or an organization).

• The impact is fully traceable to the original purchase

• It can be used in sustainability reporting when supported by the appropriate certification standard

• For businesses, this includes annual certificates (e.g. VCS) available through dedicated plans

This category is designed for structured reporting, aligned with frameworks such as CSRD, ESRS, and the GHG Protocol.

🎁 Shared Carbon Impact

This represents CO₂ linked to trees received as gifts.

• The environmental impact is real and visible on the profile

• The trees contribute to restoration projects on the ground

• However, the official CO₂ claim remains with the buyer or sponsoring organization

Shared impact exists to recognize contributions and engagement, without transferring carbon ownership.

Why this separation matters

In climate reporting, two things must always be avoided:

• Double counting: the same CO₂ included in multiple footprints

• Double claiming: multiple entities asserting ownership of the same reduction

Bloomy Earth’s model prevents both — by design.

You always see your full impact.

But only eligible CO₂ can be reported as such.

How this appears on your impact page

Your impact is displayed with full clarity:

• Claimable Carbon Impact

  CO₂ linked to trees you purchased and may report under the right conditions

• Shared Carbon Impact

  CO₂ associated with trees gifted to you, shown for transparency and engagement

This makes your profile readable, honest, and audit-friendly.

A note for teams and organizations

For employees within an organization:

• Personal profiles show shared impact only

• The organization’s profile aggregates claimable impact, including contributions made by employees

This ensures that CO₂ attribution always remains consistent with reporting rules.

Going deeper: standards and compliance

Bloomy Earth’s attribution logic is aligned with:

• CSRD and ESRS requirements

• GHG Protocol principles

• Best practices around voluntary carbon markets

Only CO₂ backed by appropriate certification (such as VCS, when applicable) can support official offset claims.

Visibility never implies ownership.

In short

• 🌱 All trees create real impact

• 📊 Impact is always visible

• 📄 CO₂ claims are never ambiguous

Bloomy Earth is built to make climate action engaging for everyone and credible for those who need to report it.
