What Cameron-Cole does

Cameron-Cole is a US-based environmental and engineering consulting firm founded in 2001 in Boulder, Colorado, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ADEC Innovations (a Geneva-headquartered sustainability services company with approximately 4,000 employees across 19 countries) since its acquisition in September 2021. The firm delivers integrated environmental services across eleven interconnected service lines: Assessment, Remediation & Monitoring (ARM); Corporate Environmental Risk Management; GHG Verification, Inventories, Reporting & Management; Permitting and Compliance; PFAS Regulatory Response, Compliance, and Litigation Support; Upstream Oil and Natural Gas Services; Real Estate Due Diligence, Property Support & Brownfields; Targeted Microbial Applications (TMA) using an In Situ Bioreactor (ISBR) system; Technical Litigation Support; Waste Management; and Wastewater & Stormwater Management.

Its technology stack centers on three differentiated components: the proprietary Property Risk Map (PRM) software co-developed with sister ADEC company Envirosite for brownfield risk visualization, an In Situ Bioreactor microbial remediation methodology applied to VOCs and 1,4-dioxane in groundwater, and a GHG verification methodology aligned with ISO-14064-3:2006(E). The firm holds rare multi-jurisdiction accreditations from California Air Resources Board, Washington Department of Ecology (both GHG Reporting and Cap-and-Invest offset verification), Oregon DEQ, ANSI National Accreditation Board, British Columbia Ministry of Environment, and The Climate Registry.

Cameron-Cole runs a project-based professional services revenue model with custom pricing and multi-year contracts, reaching customers through direct enterprise sales and government contract pursuit. The go-to-market targets nine primary verticals: Aerospace, Airports and Ports, Developers, Government, Legal/Litigation, Manufacturing, Railroads, Upstream Oil and Gas, and Waste Management. Named clients include Lyft (multi-year GHG verification), OpenX (third-party net-zero verification), a major US hospital network spanning 1,000+ facilities, the City of Barstow (brownfields inventory with $700K grant facilitation), a large Texas waste management company under a 15-year engagement, and a California municipal utility district under multi-year mandatory reporting. The firm operates five US offices with the Colorado headquarters relocating from Boulder to Highlands Ranch in December 2025.
