Innovo has been named among the companies leading the way in the adoption of sustainable business practices in Dubai. At a ceremony arranged to coincide with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce Sustainability Week, we were presented with the Chamber’s “ESG Label” to mark our achievements in adopting and developing practices that have a positive impact on society and the environment, as well as promoting good governance.

Safety and sustainability have taken centre stage this week for the WETEX (Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition) event in Dubai. Innovo HSE and Sustainability Director, Dave Robinson CMIOSH joined the exhibition as a guest panelist, taking part in a lively and thought-provoking panel discussion on the subject "Sustainable Health and Safety in the Workplace”. Alongside a panel of senior leaders from across industries, Dave talked through the challenges and drivers for businesses to achieve sustainable health and safety; the job of leadership; and the role of independent assessment and certification. Speaking during the session, Dave said: “Work shouldn’t only be somewhere to go for a job. It should be a place to improve your life. Whatever we can do to enhance our employees’ lives is crucial. People who are well looked-after, choose to stay in businesses, and we know that engaged employees are drivers for better safety and sustainability performance, too. So, I believe that issue of employee attraction and retention is a massive part of the occupational health, safety and sustainability discussion.” #wetex #wetex2024 #Innovo #sustainability #safety #innovation

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, also known as Pinktober, is a time to show our support for breast cancer survivors and raise awareness about prevention by encouraging regular screenings for early detection. At Innovo, we value our people and their wellbeing. It is of utmost importance for us to spread awareness and educate our employees about this disease and how they can prevent themselves and their loved ones from being diagnosed with it. We proudly wear our pink ribbons this month as a symbol of our solidarity with those who have been affected by breast cancer, and as a beacon of hope for a future where this disease no longer impacts families across the globe. #Innovo #Pinktober #BreastCancerAwareness #Health #Wellness
