The proof of concept
What we do
A four-month proof of concept
One linear path from a full-base risk map to board-ready evidence.
Map
All 4,000 suppliers scored for inherent ESG risk, ranked on one executive dashboard.
Assess
Evidence-based deep dive on your top spend-and-risk suppliers, up to 50, each with a scorecard and actions.
Deliver
A board-ready supply-chain risk profile and a Phase 2 roadmap.
You go from no systematic view of supplier ESG risk to full visibility, with evidence where it matters most.
What it returns
Levers that move the bottom line
ROI here is not measured in cheaper diligence. It is two specific levers that improve the bottom line, both from the same report.
Procurement leverage
A documented ESG weakness on a high-spend supplier is a lever your team does not have today: hold a rate, require a fix at the supplier's cost, or switch. On a priority cohort worth AED 150M a year, 0.2 percent better terms is
Fewer stoppages
Weak labour management in your supply chain, not among your own staff, breeds unrest and lost productivity that can halt a site. The failure starts with subcontractors, but Innovo carries the delay. One day a year avoided is
Run it on your own figures
On deliberately conservative inputs, about AED 400K a year, roughly six times the proof of concept. Move any slider to your reality.

Innovo ESG Risk, powered by Metis
The idea
ESG due diligence does not have to be a cost
It can be a new revenue centre, powered by Metis underneath.
Innovo offers ESG and worker-welfare review to the developers it builds for, as Innovo ESG Risk. Top-tier developers, and increasingly the investors behind them, need evidence on the ESG of the supply chains delivering their projects. That work goes to auditors and consultants today.
Innovo already sits at the centre of those supply chains and, after the proof of concept, already holds the data and the platform. You are better placed to provide this than the firms selling it now.
Two revenue lines
Line 1
On projects you build
Where Innovo is the main contractor, ESG Risk is an additional revenue line layered onto work you are already delivering.
Line 2
On projects you do not
Where Innovo is not the contractor, you can still be the provider. You earn on projects you did not win, and you gain a window into rival contractors' supply chains and how they perform.
A high-margin line on relationships you already own
It needs no extra headcount, so most of the price drops straight to profit. Move the sliders to size it.

No added headcount, so most of the price is profit. Supplement it with accommodation inspections and other site services for more.
The UAE
The pull is reputational. Developers and the investors behind them want assurance that the supply chains delivering their projects are clean, and few can show it.
The UK
The pull is regulatory. The Modern Slavery Act and the Procurement Act 2023 require evidence of supply-chain due diligence, so offering it credibly sets Innovo apart.
