56% : It arrived at this number after using renewable energy investments and credits to cancel out some emissions from its energy use.
55% : Microsoft will pay to restore parts of Brazil's Amazon and Atlantic forests in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of carbon credits, becoming the latest Big Tech player to bet that nature-based solutions can offset an artificial intelligence-driven surge in greenhouse gas emissions.
