Sage Announces Certified Carbon Credits for Its IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) Customers
COLUMBUS, Ohio & LONDON & AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The environmental footprint of corporate technology is a major contributor to enterprise scope 3 emissions, yet companies have been unable to capitalize on the environmental benefits from responsibly retiring tech at its end-of-life—until now.
The environmental savings from ITAD best practices are substantial. Properly recycling one ton of mixed e-waste yields almost three-quarters of a ton of avoided CO 2 emissions. Refurbishing and reusing those same devices deliver more than sixteen tons of CO 2 savings. ITAD companies have been quick to report such benefits to their customers, but unable to convert nominally positive impacts to tangible business value due to lack of standardized rigor for reporting and carbon accounting.
Sage Sustainable Electronics has partnered with Bloom-ESG to offer the first ISO 14064 certified ITAD impact reporting and independent carbon registry for certified carbon credits. These credits, technically known as 'insets,' are usable toward enterprise net zero goals, or tradable on the global carbon market without danger of double counting.
'Carbon credits increase Sage customers' return on investment from ITAD,' said Sage CEO Bob Houghton. 'Customers have always insisted that we process their surplus tech responsibly and sustainably. Certified credits increase their reward for doing the right thing,' he said.
According to Sebastian Foot, Founding Partner of Bloom ESG, carbon avoidance properly quantified and verified within the enterprise supply chain produces a certificate of quality and integrity. 'The traceability of avoided emissions down to the individual asset level is only possible because of Sage's robust chain-of-custody system and our cloud-based, environmental benefits platform,' Foot stated.
Sage customers who amend or sign new Statements of Work before June 30 th to enable impact certification will receive 1,000 free carbon credits to establish their carbon registry account as part of a Sage Earth Day promotion.

JCP&L Employee Volunteers Plant Thousands of Donated Trees in N.J.
Total helps put FirstEnergy on pace to exceed 2025 tree donation goal HOLMDEL, N.J., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Employee volunteers from Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), have planted more than 2,000 company-donated trees across JCP&L's New Jersey service territory in 2025 as part of the company's commitment to the environment and sustainability. JCP&L is more than two-thirds of the way towards eclipsing last year's total of 2,795 trees, with 2,174 trees donated and planted to date. The work is part of a larger effort by FirstEnergy, which is on pace to pass its goal of donating 25,000 trees in 2025 across its five-state service territory. So far this year, nearly 23,000 trees have been planted. Doug Mokoid, FirstEnergy's President, New Jersey: "We are fortunate to work and raise our families in one of the most beautiful states in the country and privileged to give back to our communities with a program that provides a greener, cleaner and healthier environment. Our team members often clean up fallen trees after storms, and I'm proud of their commitment to volunteering their time to restore what was lost by planting anew." Tree-planting locations are chosen in partnership with local nonprofit organizations with a focus on ensuring the trees are placed safely away from power lines and other utility infrastructure. Tree varieties include native species like red maple, river birch, white and northern red oak, shagbark and bitternut hickory, pitch pine and dogwoods. Some of this year's tree-planting events include: More than 580 trees planted on Earth Day with the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore at Camp Sacajawea in Farmingdale. 400 trees planted with Schiff Natural Lands Trust and the Mendham Township Environmental Commission at the Tempe Wick Preserve in Mendham. Collaborations with Shade Tree Commissions and Parents Teacher Organizations to plant trees at local schools, including 160 trees at Howell Middle School South in Howell, 100 trees at Milford Brook Elementary School in Manalapan and 64 trees at Clara B. Worth Elementary School in Bayville. Nearly 180 trees planted at the Wattles Stewardship Center in Port Murray with the N.J. Audubon Society and another 250 trees planted with the Musconetong Watershed Association at Hampton Borough Park in Hampton. More than 300 trees planted at Winding River Park in Toms River, days after a wildfire scorched more than 15,000 acres just 10 miles to the south. In addition to tree plantings, JCP&L employees volunteer at events that include tree donations. In early May, volunteers gave away 150 tree seedlings at the New Jersey Sustainability Summit, hosted by Sustainable Jersey at Bell Works in Holmdel, home to JCP&L's central New Jersey headquarters. The efforts are led by JCP&L's Green Team, a group of employees that volunteer their time and talents to develop and support environmental initiatives. So far this year, more than 40 JCP&L Green Team members have donated a total of 214 hours to tree-planting events. JCP&L launched FirstEnergy's first Green Team in 2018, and the company now has Green Team chapters in each of the states it serves. JCP&L serves 1.1 million customers in the counties of Burlington, Essex, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren.

Sage launches training program for next-gen CFOs
This story was originally published on CFO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CFO Dive newsletter. Finance software provider Sage is rebranding itself with the launch of a new campaign focused on helping CFOs keep pace with evolving demands and pressures, according to an announcement last week. As part of the effort, the company unveiled Sage Copilot, an accounting-trained generative artificial intelligence assistant, along with an online-based continuing professional education program for finance leaders. 'We're giving them not only high-performance software, including Copilot, but also training to enable them to deliver against what the market is really requiring of CFOs today,' Cathy Powell, senior director of campaign and customer strategy at Sage, said in an interview. The Atlanta, Georgia-based finance, human resources and payroll software maker, which serves millions of small and mid-sized businesses, is seeing 'a real shift' in the CFO profession, Powell said. 'I think from our research, we've been able to identify where the real differences are between high-performing CFOs and general finance leaders,' she said. Nine in 10 CFOs say their role has expanded significantly, with many of them now setting their sights on the CEO seat, according to survey findings released by Sage as part of the announcement. 'In an era defined by tighter margins, speed of business, faster tech shifts and higher expectations, the role of the CFO is evolving,' the company said in a press release. 'No longer just financial stewards, CFOs are now expected to shape strategy, fuel growth and lead transformation.' Sage's new training program, which is being rolled out this summer, will help CFOs with developing both technical expertise and 'soft skills,' such as being a strategic business partner, an effective communicator and a visionary leader, according to Powell. 'We'll be launching an assessment that will allow finance leaders to self-determine where they are and give them a personalized view of how they can up their game,' she said.
