Sustainability simplified

At Factlines we deliver and develop a self-service ESG software platform that makes it easier for companies to collect and connect data, document their impact and discover sustainable improvements in their business practice.

Key milestones:
• 2012: Established with the vision of simplifying sustainability for all businesses

• 2015: Release of our first software on sustainable sourcing

• 2022: Arendals Fossekompani AS brings in Alytic as a majority owner

• 2023: Brand new platform: Supply Chain Due Diligence & EU Taxonomy

• 2024: Partner cooperation on the CSRD

Developing a sustainable future is far too critical to be difficult and overwhelming. Still, environmental, social and governance (ESG) actions feel just like that.

That’s why Factlines exist: To simplify the steps needed for companies to collect, connect and document ESG data and discover ways to improve their sustainability practices.

Our platform enables transparency, collaboration and insight by bringing the data together. We believe that the power of sharing creates great value for the companies that comply, and drives change for all.

Factlines was founded in 2012 with the aim of helping companies implement sustainability through digital solutions.

Our first software was created to track supply chains for South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority in accordance with UN and OECD guidelines.

Since then, we've learned a lot and expanded the solution to offer more effective ESG insights and sustainability reporting in supply chains.

In 2022 Alytic, a portfolio company of Arendals Fossekompani, became an owner, and we are now part of a family of companies dedicated to helping the world move in a better direction.

Drawing on over a decade of sustainability experience, our self-service software transforms business facts into actions that benefit both people and the planet.

We know that one stream of change can feel insignificant, but our collective actions can create a river of great impact.
We enable companies to turn facts into sustainable business practices.
