ADEC Solutions, a leading global BPO services provider, has launched a sister company: FirstCarbon - the first company to deliver an end-to-end outsourced solution to carbon data management.

FirstCarbon aims to quickly establish itself as the market leader in the collection, management and reporting of performance-related, environmental data, helping UK companies with their carbon reduction strategies.

The new company is positioning itself as a solution for companies facing 2010 Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) regulations. This follows a recent report issued by Business in the Community revealing that two-thirds of firms are unaware of their responsibilities pertaining to the CRC regulations and damning the Government’s awareness campaign.

Jim Donovan, CEO of FirstCarbon, commented: “It’s clear many UK companies are far behind schedule with their preparations to meet CRC regulations. This is no doubt because it is very labour-intensive and administrative for companies to monitor and measure emissions-related information. Thanks to the launch of FirstCarbon, companies can now outsource this onerous and time-consuming data collection process and get on with focusing on their core business, safe in the knowledge that their own carbon footprint is being looked after”.
