Carbon accounting outsourcing could be the next big thing in the $80 billion business process outsourcing industry. Early out of the gate is FirstCarbon, a carbon data management subsidiary of global outsourcing services provider ADEC Solutions. Launched in June 2009, FirstCarbon is touted as the first outsourcing firm to allow companies to hand over their carbon measurement and reporting activities to a third party. Numerous green consultancies offer firms advice on how to comply with carbon reporting requirements.

Ned, first of all, thank you for mentioning FirstCarbon so prominently in this article.
Just wanted to make one correction, though.
The quote from Ian McGowan...is no longer accurate. In addition to our carbon-accounting outsourcing capabilities, which really do set us apart in the industry, FirstCarbon now offers complete, end-to-end carbon management.
As part of our North America expansion, we hired some of the foremost sustainability experts in the United States. We also acquired Enverity Corporation and its ghgTrack carbon-management software application.
In short, we provide carbon experts to help companies determine what to do, the technology to do it and carbon-accounting outsourcing to do it faster, better and cheaper. So companies can focus on running their core businesses and leave the sustainability details to us.
