January 15, 2026 | ESG Dive |

Microsoft has entered into a landmark 12-year agreement with Indigo Ag to remove 2.85 million metric tons of CO2 via soil-based carbon removals—the largest deal of its kind by tonnage to date. The credits will be issued under the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) label, verifying that farmers have implemented regenerative practices such as cover cropping and reduced tillage. This long-term commitment is designed to provide farmers with the financial confidence to adopt sustainable practices while advancing the industrial-scale procurement of carbon removals.
