Factlines goes beyond traditional supplier management by offering tools that foster collaboration, mitigate risks, and drive innovation.

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.
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
We enable companies to grow by turning Supply Chain facts ​into sustainable business practises
