Leading environmental consultancy RSK Group has entered into a partnership with Canadian climate change gurus Zerofootprint, enabling it to supply innovative software solutions to clients worldwide and steal a march on competitors in the carbon management market.

Group clients will now be able to enjoy the benefits of the Personal Carbon Manager, which gives an in-depth analysis of an employee’s carbon and  footprint, and the Enterprise Carbon Manager, which is designed to measure, manage, monitor and calculate a business’s total emissions.

The deal bolsters RSK Carbon Management’s already formidable software development capability, which draws on the expertise of RSK Project Services to create bespoke carbon management tools for carbon accounting, communication initiatives (internal and external), financial appraisals and decision-making processes.

RSK Carbon Management managing director James Garvie said:
“This is a fantastic partnership and will certainly help us with our ambition to offer the most credible, innovative carbon management solutions in the UK.”

Zerofootprint Founder and CEO, Ron Dembo said:
“In a low carbon economy, corporations, institutions and governments will all need to measure their carbon impact on an ongoing basis. This calls for a new function, that of Enterprise Carbon Management. It also demands software to manage the generation, hedging and reduction of carbon exposure. Through our partnership with RSK organizations will benefit from the most comprehensive solution available.

The Zerofootprint group of companies empowers communities, businesses, and organizations to productively minimise CO2 emissions.  Its clients include Air Canada, Harper Collins and Marsh, as well as several cities and universities.
