Every IT leasing contract has a carbon footprint.
Your clients are starting to ask for it. Can you respond with a certified figure?
By contract, by client, by asset class
From day one, throughout the life of the fleet.

A contract's carbon footprint - from day 1 to end of term.
An IT leasing contract is not a snapshot. It is a multi-year commitment — 3 to 5 years — during which the fleet evolves, assets rotate, and your clients accumulate Scope 3 emissions. Verdikt is the only platform that measures the carbon impact of a contract from start to finish, from signature to asset return.
Does this sound familiar?
Three situations IT leasers knows well.
1
Your clients are asking for the carbon footprint of their leased fleet for their CSRD report. You don't have the data. Your competitor soon will.
2
You already offer refurbishment and extended asset lifespans. But you cannot quantify the carbon benefit for your client — or embed it in your commercial proposal.
3
Enterprise tenders include ESG criteria on IT financing. You respond with commitments. Others will respond with certified data — per asset, per contract, per year.
Client stories
How CHG-MERIDIAN produces the annual carbon report for 150 clients' IT fleets with Verdikt.
CHG-MERIDIAN — Technology Lifecycle Managements
Context
CHG-MERIDIAN is one of the world's leading technology leasing and asset management companies — €12.59 billion in assets under management, 32 countries, 1,700 employees. Its model is built on usership rather than ownership: clients access the latest technology without holding the asset, with return and refurbishment at end of contract. CHG-MERIDIAN developed its carbonZER0 offering for the carbon offsetting of leased IT fleets. The next step: producing a certified annual carbon report for each client's fleet, ready to use in their CSRD reporting.
What Verdikt Did
Verdikt measures the carbon footprint of the leased IT fleets of 150 CHG-MERIDIAN clients — by asset class (PCs, servers, mobiles, tablets), by contract, by year. For each client, Verdikt produces a structured annual report: total fleet footprint, breakdown by domain, manufacturer, year-on-year evolution, and granular data ready to integrate into non-financial reporting (CSRD, Bilan Carbone®, GHG Protocol). CHG-MERIDIAN now has certified data to deliver to every client — and a differentiating advantage on renewals and new tenders.
The underlying business case
The annual carbon report is not just a CSR deliverable. For CHG-MERIDIAN, it is a retention and renewal tool: a client that can see its carbon reduction trajectory across its leased fleet has one more reason to stay — and to choose refurbishment over new equipment at end of contract.
Key capabilities
Built for Asset Financing Companies.
Carbon footprint as a client deliverable — not an internal constraint.
Verdikt produces a structured annual carbon report per client, ready to hand over as-is. Emissions by asset class, year-on-year evolution, formatted for non-financial reporting, included traceable, granular data. Your client integrates it into their CSRD reporting. You become their ESG partner, not just their financing provider.
CHG-MERIDIAN delivers this report to 150 clients across their leased fleet.
Day 1: projected footprint embedded in the commercial offer.
Before the first asset is delivered, Verdikt calculates the projected carbon footprint of the contract over its full term. You embed this data in your proposal — refurbished vs new PCs, 3-year vs 5-year terms, model comparison. Your offer carries a quantified carbon advantage from the tender stage.
Every fleet management decision, quantified in COâ‚‚.
Refurbishing a batch of end-of-contract assets rather than buying new: how many tons avoided? Extending the lease by 12 months: what is the impact on the client's annual footprint? Verdikt answers in certified data before every decision.
CHG-MERIDIAN's circularity model finally translates into a measurable carbon benefit for its clients.
One platform for the leaser — not one tool per client.
Verdikt centralizes measurement across all your clients in a single platform. Automated inventory data collection, structured calculation by contract, export by client. No implementation project for each new client: the report is produced at portfolio scale.
