Microsoft has purchased over 970,000 nature-based carbon removal credits from Anew Climate, a company offering diverse climate solutions, as a part of its commitment to becoming carbon-negative by 2030.
These high-integrity removal credits are generated from Anew’s North American improved forest management projects. Through its Environmental Products business segment, the company offers organisations like Microsoft registry-distinguished carbon removal credits generated from tree growth within its diverse forestry portfolio.
“Anew is proud to be part of Microsoft’s sustainability journey. Microsoft is a shining example among climate-conscious companies and is known for its rigorous due diligence and focus on quality. At Anew, we are leading the way to help companies and landowners achieve meaningful, positive change for the climate,” said Lizzie Aldrich, Anew Climate Vice President of Business Development.
“Carbon removal credits provide a financial incentive for traditional institutional landowners and managers to shift to sustainable forestry and land management practices. We are pleased to collaborate with Anew Climate to help increase the carbon stocks of forests across the United States,” said Brian Marrs, Senior Director of Energy and Carbon Removal at Microsoft.
