Supplier Management Software for Construction & Industry

Buildings and construction

The built environment accounts for roughly 50% of all extracted materials globally, with production of cement, steel, and aluminium carrying significant environmental impact. Factlines helps construction companies assess and follow up suppliers across these material supply chains, with structured due diligence covering environmental impact, working conditions, and regulatory compliance.

37%

The buildings and construction sector is by far the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, accounting for 37% of global emissions.

30%

Construction products represent 30% of EU annual waste generation.

Textiles, leather and furniture manufacturing

Textiles and leather supply chains carry high risk for human rights and labour violations, with production often located in regions with challenging working conditions. Factlines helps companies manage these risks through structured supplier assessments and automated risk scoring, providing clear documentation for audits and regulatory compliance.

10%

The fashion industry alone is estimated to be responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions.

Doubled

Global textile fibre production has more then doubled in the last 20 years from 58 million tonnes in 2000 to 116 million tonnes in 2022.

Medical consumables and equipment

Medical products, from rubber gloves and masks to electronic equipment and metal tools, are largely produced in regions with elevated risk for human and social rights violations. Factlines helps companies assess suppliers across a wide range of product categories, with structured evaluations and multi-tier mapping to ensure compliance and transparency.

4,4%

The hospital and medical technology (MedTech) sector contributes to 4.4% of global emissions.

0,5 kg

Hospital are a major source of waste, producing between 0.2 to 0.5 kg of hazardous waste per hospital bed. A typical operating room generates up to 2 tons of fluid waste each month.

44,61%

A recent study exposed 44,61% of the investigated products did not have an available Country of Origin. "There has been previous case-based evidence of labour rights issues in the manufacture of specific medical products, but our analysis (using multiple data sources) suggests high-risk across this entire sector.(...) Our findings demonstrate a critical and urgent need for greater transparency in global supply chains for medical products"

Electronic and electric manufacturing

Electronics carry some of the highest supply chain risks, from raw material extraction through component production and assembly. Factlines helps companies collect structured supplier data, assess risk at multiple tiers, and document due diligence efforts to meet the strict compliance requirements this category demands.

The number of regions currently covered the EU Conflict minerals regulations called the CAHRAs (Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas). In these areas earnings from metals and minerals production are likely to be used to fund armed conflicts.

62 mill tonnes

3-5% growth every year, electrical waste (EWaste) is one of the fastest growing waste streams. In 2023 we generated 62 million tonnes.

Traditional PCB (printed circuit board) and PCA (printed circuit assembly) are only 1% recyclable. The technology is based on thermoset resin boards and copper conductors.There are no circular strategies available for this. Recycling is restricted to the shredding and subsequent (high temperature) reclamation of only the precious metals. This equates to less than 1% recyclability of PCBs, and 3-5% of PCAs.

Heavy manufacturing

Mining, metallurgy, chemicals, and energy production involve global supply chains with significant environmental and social impact. Factlines helps companies in heavy industry manage supplier risk with structured assessments, automated risk scoring, and audit-ready documentation across complex, multi-tier supply chains.

Estimated global population in 2050

30%

Between now and 2050, global steel demand is projected to rise by 30% and cement demand by 12 to 23%. The manufacture of these crucial building materials requires extremely high temperatures and thus large amounts of fossil fuels.
