ADEC Innovations Offers A Customizable Carbon Management Solution For Complex Issues

Regulations like the CSRD and TCFD-aligned standards are driving firms to report carbon data, particularly Scope 3 emissions. However, issues such as a lack of primary data, poor supply chain visibility, and complexities with supplier engagement make this a difficult process. ADEC Innovations – an ESG solutions and services provider - takes a different approach to typical carbon management vendors by combining:

• ESG professional services that establish the client’s technical requirements.
• Workforce solutions that offer the manpower to collect emissions data from thousands of disparate sources.
• Custom software development that automates aspects of the emissions data collection and management process.

ADEC Innovations’s aim is to offer a carbon management solution that can be adapted to meet each individual client’s needs.

Of particular interest is the vendor’s use of workforce solutions to provide manpower to collect emissions data. This is underpinned by the belief that firms do not currently have the resources to map complex supply chains or account for Scope 3 emissions. Verdantix research shows that 86% of sustainability leaders believe their sustainability teams are too small and they cannot reach net zero targets because of this. Moreover, there are currently more open climate-related positions than there are dedicated climate professionals (see Verdantix Strategic Focus: Mind The Climate Skills Gap). As a result, leaders are not just looking for more people, but for systems that allows those additional hands and heads to be more productive. Industries such as retail, manufacturing and transport would benefit from this system due to their complex supply chains, which often entail thousands of suppliers.

The ADEC Innovations team indicated that many firms are seeking technical help with sustainability data management as much as they are technological help. Verdantix research supports this thesis; 96% of sustainability leaders we surveyed consider relevant industry expertise as an important factor in carbon management vendor selection. ADEC Innovations has a team of 120 experts in science-based strategy who clients can engage with to help meet regulations and reporting requirements such as CPD, GRI and ISSB.
