As part of Microsoft's broader plan to go carbon-negative by 2030 and remove more carbon dioxide from our atmosphere than it produces, the software giant recently signed a deal with sustainable forest management firm EFM to purchase 3 million carbon removal "credits".
The deal includes an offtake agreement for the delivery of up to 700,000 credits over the next decade (through 2035) from a 68,000-acre property in Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula. The sustainable forest management firm will transition the plot to climate-smart forest management under its FSC-certified model.
