Innovo Automated Carbon data and Accelerated Decarbonisation with KarbunWise
The UAE-based construction firm partnered with KarbunWise to automate carbon data collection, integrate ESG systems, and deploy AI to close data gaps and accelerate decarbonisation across its regional construction footprint.
Carbon Visibility Across Complex Supply Chains.
Innovo is a leading construction and infrastructure firm in the UAE with expanding operations in the UK, known for its early adoption of green building certifications. With fragmented legacy systems and data sparsity across its supply chain, the company needed a smarter way to track and act on its emissions footprint.
Challenge
Innovo's sustainability ambitions were clear. What was missing was the infrastructure to back them up. Carbon data sat across Oracle EHS, legacy energy systems, and supplier files - none of it connected, none of it easy to act on. Scope 3 visibility was limited, manual collection created delays, and reporting could not scale across the company's growing project and supplier base.
Without a unified system, Innovo could not generate the kind of complete, consistent emissions picture that its ESG commitments and disclosure requirements demanded.
Solution
Data aggregation, automated
KarbunWise built connectors to integrate Oracle EHS, energy platforms, and legacy systems. A custom file formatter normalised data from different sources, making ingestion seamless. The Scope 1, 2, and 3 accounting engine then provided granular emissions tracking down to the project site, supplier, and material - helping Innovo identify top-emitting categories and inform a pilot green procurement initiative.
Where data was incomplete, KarbunWise deployed a machine learning model trained on construction-specific datasets and regional patterns to estimate missing emission factors. The resulting dashboards gave procurement and operations teams clear sight of their highest-impact areas, enabling them to take ownership of decarbonisation targets rather than chase data.
Using the compliance-ready reporting engine, Innovo now generates structured, audit-ready outputs aligned with GHG Protocol, SBTi, and ISO 14064 - with zero manual effort. TCFD-aligned reporting and a target-setting framework have also been embedded, giving Innovo a clear roadmap for decarbonisation and the ability to track actual emissions against set targets at scope and category level.
Result
By onboarding suppliers and automating its emissions engine, Innovo replaced fragmented, manual carbon tracking with a single, standards-aligned system.
- 120+ suppliers connected into one verified system Data previously scattered across Oracle EHS, legacy platforms, and supplier files now flows into a single, normalised workflow - eliminating manual collection entirely.
- Scope 3 gaps closed with AI A machine learning model trained on construction-specific data filled missing emission factors, improving the accuracy and reliability of Innovo's full carbon picture.
- Procurement and operations now act on live carbon data Real-time dashboards give teams visibility by project, supplier, and material category - turning data into decisions rather than end-of-quarter reports.
- Compliance reporting no longer a manual exercise GHG Protocol, SBTi, and ISO 14064 aligned outputs are generated automatically, with TCFD reporting and target tracking embedded - giving teams more time to act on data rather than compile it.
- Carbon intelligence embedded in long-term strategy Decarbonisation targets are directly connected to procurement decisions and operational planning, giving Innovo a foundation for sustained Net Zero progress.
Summary
Innovo had the ambition but not the infrastructure. Carbon data was scattered, Scope 3 was largely estimated, and reporting was a manual effort that didn't scale. KarbunWise changed that by building a connected system from the ground up - integrating legacy platforms, onboarding 120+ suppliers, and deploying AI to close the gaps where primary data was unavailable.
What Innovo has now is not just cleaner data. It is a live carbon intelligence system aligned with GHG Protocol, SBTi, and ISO 14064, with TCFD reporting and decarbonisation targets embedded into how the business plans and operates. Sustainability reporting went from a quarterly burden to a continuous, audit-ready process.

Challenge
Fragmented legacy systems and data sparsity across Oracle EHS, energy platforms, and supplier files left Scope 3 insights sparse and audit-ready reporting entirely manual.
Solution
KarbunWise built automated data connectors, deployed an AI-powered emission-factor model to fill data gaps, and delivered real-time dashboards across 120+ suppliers.
Result
- Scope 1, 2, and 3 fully automated across 120+ suppliers Manual data collection eliminated, with AI filling gaps where primary data was unavailable.
- Live dashboards driving procurement and operational decisions Emissions visibility by project, supplier, and category - updated in real time, not at quarter end.
- Audit-ready reporting aligned with GHG Protocol, SBTi, and ISO 14064 Structured outputs generated automatically, with TCFD reporting and decarbonisation targets embedded into business planning.
