SustainInsight launches in UAE to streamline ESG reporting in real estate

AI platform transforms sustainability reporting for UAE real estate sector

SustainInsight has launched in the UAE with an AI-driven platform built for construction and real estate companies that need a clear, real-time view of sustainability performance. It goes far beyond carbon accounting and meets the rising bar of ESG disclosure across the region.

The company has completed a pilot with the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure in Ajman and is already supporting DAMAC Properties and Expo City Dubai. Registered in DIFC, the platform targets the sector's operational realities while aligning reporting with international standards.

A single source of truth for ESG

Branded as the "Bloomberg of sustainability," SustainInsight acts as a central intelligence hub for environmental, social, and governance data. It consolidates scattered data, bringing site-level information, corporate metrics, and supplier inputs into one view.

• Upload documents and data directly; the platform uses AI and OCR to auto-generate reports.
• Outputs align with international frameworks, including ISSB and GRI.
• Predictive analytics flag decisions that could derail progress against sustainability targets.

Supplier ratings and value chain accountability

The platform includes a supplier rating model so contractors and developers can benchmark partners against ESG standards. Suppliers can also build verified profiles, which strengthens trust and increases transparency across procurement and delivery.

Built for the UAE construction context

Compliance is tightening and investor expectations are rising. SustainInsight streamlines the hard part-turning policies and data rooms into credible disclosures and actionable insights. CEO Sahen Ahuja says the focus is simple: make it easier for companies to stay compliant and maximise impact with clear guidance and full support.
