SustainInsight launches in Saudi Arabia: ESG intelligence for construction and real estate
SustainInsight, an AI-powered sustainability intelligence platform, has officially launched in Saudi Arabia after a successful pilot with Abdullah Ahmed Albriki Est, a key contractor for Red Sea Global. For project owners and contractors, this means a practical way to digitally monitor, manage, and report full ESG performance-well beyond basic carbon and energy tracking.
The platform supports national priorities under Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative. It complies with CSRD, ISSB, and the Saudi ESG Disclosure Guidelines, helping teams meet rising disclosure needs without piling on manual work. SustainInsight is already used by leading firms across the GCC, including DAMAC and Expo City Dubai, with a proven pilot alongside the UAE Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure.
What this means for owners, developers, and contractors
- One hub for ESG: branded as the "Bloomberg of Sustainability," it consolidates environmental, social, and governance data into a single system.
- Instant reports: AI and OCR turn project documents into framework-aligned outputs (CSRD, ISSB, Saudi guidelines) in minutes, not weeks.
- True 360° visibility: social impact, labor welfare, supply chain transparency, and corporate governance-extending well beyond the jobsite.
- Predictive insights: early signals on sustainability risks so teams can act before issues hit timelines, budgets, or compliance.
- Supplier ESG Rating Model: benchmark vendors against ESG standards; let suppliers build verified ESG profiles to support tenders and audits.
- Local support: an on-the-ground team in Saudi Arabia for onboarding and advisory across climate strategy, environmental performance, and corporate responsibility.
Proof from the Saudi pilot
The pilot with Abdullah Ahmed Albriki Est showed how AI-driven ESG automation cuts manual effort, simplifies cross-framework reporting, and establishes a repeatable process for large, complex projects aligned with Vision 2030. The outcome: faster compliance, clearer impact measurement, and better readiness for investor, regulator, and client reviews.
How SustainInsight works
- Upload project files and data; OCR extracts and structures the information.
- AI maps evidence to reporting requirements across CSRD, ISSB, and Saudi ESG Disclosure Guidelines.
- Dashboards reveal performance across E, S, and G-covering emissions, energy, labor practices, health and safety, community impact, governance, and more.
- Generate export-ready reports for different stakeholders without rewriting the same story in multiple formats.
- Benchmark suppliers, close gaps with targeted actions, and track improvements over time.
"Saudi Arabia's ESG regulations are evolving, and companies recognize that sustainability performance is now directly tied to competitiveness and growth," said Sahen Ahuja, Chief Executive Officer of SustainInsight. "Our platform bridges that gap-automating reporting, providing predictive insights, and helping firms turn ESG commitments into measurable outcomes."
Why this matters now
Major tenders, financing, and client mandates increasingly expect transparent ESG reporting. Construction and real estate teams that move beyond carbon-only metrics gain an edge in bids, reduce compliance risk, and build trust with investors, partners, and communities. A single source of truth also cuts duplication across projects and business units.
Quick start for your next quarter
- Centralize ESG data sources (site logs, HR data, procurement, HSSE, utilities) into one hub.
- Onboard key suppliers to the rating model and standardize evidence requirements.
- Map your active projects to ISSB and Saudi guidelines; set baselines and clear KPIs.
- Automate monthly reporting packs for leadership, clients, and regulators.
- Set predictive alerts for high-risk areas (e.g., labor welfare, subcontractor compliance).
Who's behind it
SustainInsight is built by a team of local and international specialists in sustainability, construction, and technology, with a dedicated presence in Saudi Arabia. The company supports GCC leaders such as DAMAC and Expo City Dubai and has completed a successful pilot with the UAE Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure.
The bottom line
Backed by proven results with Red Sea Global's contractor Abdullah Ahmed Albriki Est, SustainInsight is positioned to set a new benchmark for ESG data intelligence across Saudi Arabia's construction and real estate sectors. It turns compliance into a competitive advantage as the Kingdom advances its Vision 2030 goals.
