Recorded 9/9/25
Take a deep dive into the end-to-end process of removals procurement with insights from experienced project developers and corporate buyers. This session will provide an overview of how Microsoft approaches due diligence when selecting nature-based carbon removal projects.
You’ll hear how project developers collaborate with the Microsoft team to provide detailed information on baseline conditions, additionality, project history, and long-term outlook. Learn what criteria matter most in the evaluation process and how data is shared—both digitally and through on-the-ground site visits—to support rigorous due diligence.
The discussion will highlight practical takeaways that can inform your own approach to evaluating and integrating high-quality removals, regardless of where you are in your climate journey. Finally, we’ll explore how Microsoft communicates its purchases and climate claims externally, ensuring transparency and alignment with best practices.
