Why Bloomwise commits 1% of revenue to climate action

Can a SaaS company contribute to climate action?

Let's be honest: Bloomwise is not a green company. We run servers, call AI APIs, and every SEO audit consumes energy.

But that's precisely why we think it's important to contribute. Not to feel good about ourselves, but because normalizing these commitments in SaaS is the only way to make them systemic.

What we actually do

Since April 2026, Bloomwise contributes 1% of all revenue (not profits — revenue) to Stripe Climate.

This means that on every Solo (EUR 25/month), Pro (EUR 65/month) or Agency (EUR 129/month) subscription, a portion directly funds permanent carbon removal technologies.

Why Stripe Climate and not traditional offsets?

Traditional carbon offsetting (planting trees, buying forestry credits) has a problem: it's often temporary, hard to verify, and doesn't permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Stripe Climate is different. The program funds frontier science:

• Direct Air Capture (DAC): machines that pull CO2 from the atmosphere and store it as minerals.
• Bio-oil: biomass converted into stable oil injected underground, where carbon stays locked for millennia.
• Enhanced mineralization: crushed rocks that absorb CO2 through accelerated natural chemical reactions.

Every project is selected by an independent scientific review panel and must demonstrate permanent removal (not just reduction or avoidance).

How much does it represent?

Let's be transparent: for an early-stage startup, 1% of revenue is a modest amount. But what matters is the principle.

If every SaaS contributed 1% of revenue to carbon removal, the cumulative impact would be significant. And these technologies need demand to decrease in cost and scale up, exactly like solar and wind fifteen years ago.

This isn't greenwashing

We're not slapping a green logo on our site to sell more subscriptions. Here's what makes the difference:

• It's automatic: the contribution is built into Stripe. There's no quarter where we "forget."
• It's verifiable: our contribution is public on Bloomwise's Stripe Climate page.
• It's a percentage of revenue, not profits. Even in months where we don't make money, the contribution is collected.

What's next?

Our medium-term goals:

1. Maintain the 1% regardless of Bloomwise's growth trajectory.
2. Document our carbon footprint: server consumption, API calls, infrastructure. You can't reduce what you don't measure.
3. Favor committed vendors: Vercel (renewable energy), Supabase (AWS eu-west), Stripe (carbon neutral since 2021).
