Biochar & Enhanced Rock Weathering

In collaboration with ClimeFi, LEGO is backing two biochar initiatives and one enhanced rock weathering project:

• Biochar carbon removal converts waste biomass into biochar, stabilizing carbon for long-term storage.
• Enhanced rock weathering accelerates natural processes by spreading rock powder over agricultural fields, capturing CO₂ and improving soil health.

Large-Scale Reforestation

Partnering with Climate Impact Partners, LEGO is supporting reforestation in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (USA) by purchasing carbon credits. Managed by GreenTrees, the initiative aims to reforest over 400,000 hectares, enhancing biodiversity, reducing flood risks, and improving water quality.

“This is a leading example of how the private sector can drive real impact,” said Sheri Hickok, CEO of Climate Impact Partners. “LEGO’s investment will channel finance to solutions that go beyond value chain impact.”
