SustainInsight’s new platform helps construction groups track their ESG performance

SustainInsight, a technology and advisory business focused on the construction sector, has launched a new platform that helps industry players track and report their ESG performance.

Established in 2023, SustainInsight is dedicated to supporting the construction industry with adopting more sustainable practices, providing advisory services on climate change, environmental impact, corporate responsibility, and carbon accounting expertise. The firm’s new offering now adds a subscription-based tech solution to its portfolio.

“Our new AI-powered platform that gives construction and real estate firms a comprehensive, real-time view of their sustainability performance, far beyond carbon accounting,” said Sahen Ahuja, Chief Executive Officer of SustainInsight.

The platform, named SustainInsight, acts as a sustainability intelligence hub by consolidating all of a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data in one place. “While most platforms only focus on the environmental component, our platform provides a 360 degrees view by integrating in-depth metrics on social value and corporate governance for a broader picture that goes past the construction site.”

The platform also provides an accurate view of sustainability performance progress in real time, with predictive analytics that can highlight any decisions that could cause companies to miss their targets.

The platform’s supplier rating model further enables its users to benchmark partners against ESG standards, while allowing suppliers to generate their own verified ratings – building trust, transparency, and accountability across the value chain.

“With ESG regulations evolving fast, companies know they need to stay compliant. And, in our experience, most are very motivated to maximise their impact from an ethical perspective as well. However, it can be challenging to put positive action into practice for many reasons. We’ve streamlined the entire process, offering full guidance and support, so that organisations can navigate the complex landscape with ease,” said Ahuja.

According to the CEO, the platform has enjoyed good momentum since its launch, with the likes of the UAE’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, DAMAC Properties and Expo City Dubai already using the technology.
