Decades of Cameron-Cole environmental compliance, assessment, and remediation consulting experience added to ADEC Innovations business portfolio of ESG assurance solutions
ADEC Innovations, a recognized global leader in designing, developing, and delivering solutions and services in critical areas of sustainable development, today announces it has completed its acquisition of Cameron Cole, LLC (“Cameron-Cole”), a full-service environmental services and regulatory compliance consulting firm with nationwide operations in the United States.
With this acquisition, ADEC Innovations expands and extends its pure-play environmental and sustainability consulting business, currently operating under the brand names of FirstCarbon Solutions and ADEC Innovation ESG Solutions. Cameron- Cole brings full-service remediation, compliance and permitting, due diligence, waste, groundwater, wastewater, and hydrogeological services. The addition of Cameron-Cole increases ADEC Innovations’ depth and reach in environmental and regulatory compliance, air quality and greenhouse gas services, and environmental assessments.
“Organizations recognize the value of working with independent, dedicated environmental sustainability companies to provide needed, high-quality expertise and help them solve their technical and regulatory challenges,” said James M. Donovan, Global CEO of ADEC Innovations. “With this acquisition, we are addressing growing market requirements for expanded, more comprehensive ESG assurance solutions that help organizations responsibly grow and operate and advance sustainable practices around the world.”
While Cameron-Cole will continue its commitment to provide critical environmental compliance services to its clients, it will now expand its geographical reach beyond the United States. Further, it will have seamless access to ADEC Innovations’ software and data management and processing capabilities that will enable it to provide more extensive and effective client solutions to its clients. Cameron-Cole’s suite of products and services will now include California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Quality Act (NEPA) compliance, climate change, life cycle assessments, and sustainability consulting.
“Cameron-Cole and ADEC Innovations are combining complementary expertise and proven capabilities to create a unique, pure-play firm that has decades of experience in environmental sustainability consulting, data processing and management, and software,” said Timothy Hobbs, Chief Operations Officer and Co-Founder of Cameron-Cole. “By further integrating ADEC Innovations’ software and data processing services, Cameron-Cole will be able to provide more comprehensive information management solutions to our clients – especially given the vast amounts of data associated with our core services including groundwater compliance monitoring, site assessments, greenhouse gas and carbon management, and remediation.”
“After 20 years of management ownership, we wanted to ensure a growing, sustainable future for Cameron-Cole while maintaining a strong foundation of providing critical environmental compliance services to our clients,” said Jerome Edwards, President and Co-Founder of Cameron-Cole. “In addition to augmenting our portfolio and extending our market reach, it was important that Cameron-Cole join an organization that has deep understanding of the environmental markets backed by objectivity, science, and experience. ADEC Innovations not only meets our criteria, it helps secure future growth and value for employees and clients while maintaining the strong foundation of quality, critical environmental compliance services we have built through the years.”
Cameron-Cole Executive Vice President and Co-Founder John Bondurant recognizes that becoming part of the global ADEC Innovations group of companies achieves a key goal of enabling Cameron-Cole to continue meeting its ongoing commitments to clients and staff. Bondurant added, “Today’s news assures that Cameron-Cole will continue to deliver on our mission as a problem-solver in this challenging field of environmental and regulatory compliance.”
As a result of this latest investment, ADEC Innovations expands its United States office presence to Colorado and Florida. Cameron-Cole employees will join the 4,500 strong workforce that ADEC Innovations has across 24 sites located in 17 countries across 6 continents.
ADEC Innovations Group CEO James M. Donovan added, “We welcome Cameron-Cole’s clients, employees, and partners to the group. With this acquisition, ADEC Innovations strategically broadens our business portfolio to better meet the needs of companies, public agencies and coalitions around the world; and collectively, we will offer current and future clients greater opportunities to reduce costs and risks, optimize resource use, maximize revenue opportunities, and improve operational efficiencies, in a world where sustainability matters.”

ADEC Innovations, recognised global leader in designing, developing, and delivering solutions and services in critical areas of sustainable development, today announced that it has acquired ARI Services Europe Ltd. (ARISE Europe). ARISE Europe is a 20-year leading and award-winning provider of on-demand, global customer experience (CX) and management services and solutions based in Limerick, Ireland.
“Businesses, public agencies, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) need to ensure they are operating efficiently and sustainably – meeting obligations to their entire ecosystem of stakeholders, including customers, employees, communities, the environment, and shareholders,” said James M. Donovan, Global CEO of ADEC Innovations. “By bringing ARISE Europe into the group, we realise technological synergies which will allow us to deliver higher quality and better customer-focused Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) assurance services and solutions to our clients.

ADEC Innovations’ ESG Data Assured solutions help organisations turn vast and diverse internal and supply chain information into practical operational insights towards sustainable development.

ESG Data Assured solutions eliminate the need for organisations to engage additional reporting initiatives, applications, or tools by maximising the value and impact of internally available systems and data. With the addition of ARISE Europe’s expertise in regulatory and customer service innovation, clients will benefit from enhanced ESG Data Assured solutions.
By becoming part of the ADEC Innovations group, ARISE Europe will strengthen its resource support, stability, and longevity as it continues to deliver complex, highly reliable, back-office and CX processes, high quality technical support, manufacturing support and process consultancy services.

“After more than 20 years of management ownership, we wanted to ensure a growing and sustainable future for ARISE Europe,” said Joe Cahalane, Managing Director of ARISE Europe. “In addition to augmenting our service portfolio and extending our market reach, it was important for ARISE Europe to be part of a company that is compatible with our business and how we operate. ADEC Innovations meets all of these criteria, including its decades of experience and expertise in providing diverse BPO and KPO solutions, in a collaborative, resourceful, and agile manner.”
ARISE Europe’s employees will join the 4,400 strong workforce that ADEC Innovations has across 20 sites located in 16 countries and covering 6 continents.

ADEC Innovations remains true to its commitment to excellence after receiving three International Organization for Standards (ISO) re-certifications from TUV Rheinland Philippines.
March 5, 2021 — ADEC Innovations remains true to its commitment to excellence after receiving three International Organization for Standards (ISO) re-certifications from TUV Rheinland Philippines.
As a result of an extensive audit conducted from February 22 to March 5, ADEC Innovations once again received the ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 27001:2013 certifications.
This is ADEC Innovations’ fourth consecutive year of receiving the three certifications with zero incidences of non-conformance. Asia-Pacific and Oceania Regional Head Andrew Paterson also noted that this year’s achievement is a significant milestone to the company, as it is the first audit conducted virtually.
ISO 9001:2015 is dedicated to Quality Management Systems (QMS) and outlines a framework to improve the quality of products and services and consistently meet the expectations of customers and clients.
ISO 14001:2015, on the other hand, serves as the benchmark for an Environmental Management System (EMS) that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance.
ISO 27001:2013 outlines a best-practice standard on an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that sufficiently protects sensitive data from cyberthreats.
Commitment to standards
These certifications are validations of the controls placed in the company’s Philippine operations.
The audit also revealed 19 positive findings and 26 opportunities for improvement. For Vice President on Compliances Mark Barro, these findings are vital to the company’s pursuit of continuous improvement.
“This year’s audit couldn’t have been successful without everyone’s collective effort and dedication to their work. It only goes to show how excellence is a core value of every ADEC employee,” Barro said.
General Manager Jurgen Tanpho, meanwhile, further lauded how the organization prepared for the audit for more than a year. “While others consider these audits as a two-week process, ADEC Innovations strives to make ISO part of its daily operations,” Tanpho said.
Through these certifications, ADEC Innovations reassures its clients of its compliance to global standards in the delivery of innovative business solutions.
ADEC Innovations’ winning the Top Services Exporter Award for the third consecutive year comes across as timely, with the current pandemic compelling businesses to double down on digitalization in building back better.
December 3, 2020, Manila, Philippines — ADEC Innovations’ winning the Top Services Exporter Award for the third consecutive year comes across as timely, with the current pandemic compelling businesses to double down on digitalization in building back better.
ADEC Innovations was once again named the top exporter for services for this year’s virtual National Export Congress, organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
For ADEC Innovations CEO James Donovan, the company’s third consecutive award holds more significance after a tumultuous year.
“COVID-19 has disrupted the operations of every business. But with the help of our government partners, and with the dedication of our Filipino workforce, ADEC Innovations was able to go back to business as usual within two weeks,” Donovan said.
Innovations in the new normal
With the theme “Digitalization Boost: Invigorating Exports in the New Normal,” this year’s National Export Congress reiterated and expanded last year’s discussions on driving digital transformation throughout industries.
Both businesses and governments around the world had to adopt innovative programs in the wake of the pandemic, according to DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez. Citing a joint study by the World Bank and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), Lopez called for the rapid adoption of digital technologies to recover from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This crisis has underlined that going digital is the best and only solution during the pandemic, and that we should seize the opportunity this offers,” Lopez said in his keynote address.
Even before the pandemic, ADEC Innovations has already been driving digital transformation among governments and organizations. For more than two decades, the company has been driving sustainable practices and empowering better decision-making through its data management solutions.
“We take pride in being one of the companies that have exported not only our services, but also our leadership and expertise to the world,” Donovan said.
Outlook for exporters
In the midst of the new normal, Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc. (PHILEXPORT) President Sergio R. Ortiz-Luis, Jr. indicated a positive outlook for Filipino exporters. “The Philippine export industry is recovering: resilient and open for business as we commit to continuously evolve as a reliable competitive global supplier, especially in this new normal,” Ortiz-Luis said.
Lopez also expressed his gratitude to service exporters like ADEC Innovations, lauding them as “beacons of hope and inspiration for other Philippine exporters and [the] country’s pursuit of sustainable economic progress.”
This year’s Top Exporter Awardees were once again chosen based on their exemplary contributions and excellence in their chosen field. ADEC Innovations first received the recognition in 2018, and has received the award consecutively ever since.
