The company said the initiative would by 2050 remove from the environment all the carbon emissions it has created since it was founded in 1975. “The scientific consensus is clear — the world today is confronted with an urgent carbon crisis,” Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella said while unveiling the initiative. However, efforts to reduce the impact of carbon emissions have been rarer. The company would begin publishing annual reports on carbon emissions, and encouraged other companies to do the same. Internally, it has put a price on carbon emissions associated with products or services, and it urged others to do likewise.
