Factlines – Construction & Manufacturing Industries

The Factlines software streamlines data transparency and sustainability for construction and manufacturing, supporting compliance with supply chain regulations like the Norwegian Transparency Act, CSDDD, and EU Taxonomy.

Supplier insight is key to meeting CSRD reporting, tackling complex challenges in human rights, social equity, environmental progress, and Net Zero goals for 2050. Using Factlines software will continuously strengthen your data foundation and thereby enhance sustainable decision-making.

In sectors like petroleum, rubber, cotton, timber, and mining, supply chains face strict EU Directives, including the Deforestation and Conflict Minerals Directives. Public sector suppliers must also meet contractual obligations on human and labor rights transparency.

Buildings and construction industries

The built environment accounts for about 50% of all extracted material globally. The production and use of materials such as cement, steel, and aluminum have a significant carbon footprint and the waste stream for the sector will increase as the renovation required to reduce energy use and space will be significant.

37%

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

We are all dependent on textiles and leather manufacturing, whether it is for work, leisure or at home. These industries are very competitive and production is often situated in countries with fast and cheap production involving hard work, chemicals and even metals for fire protection.Work clothes, foot wear and textiles are on the high risk list for violations of human and social rights, and is often being audited.

A recent study exposed 44,61% of the investigated products did not have an available Country of Origin.

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.
