Factlines software is built on the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct to provide a framework for companies to manage risks related to Human Rights, labour rights, environmental impact, and corruption in their operations and supply chains.
The due diligence component of our software helps companies identify, prevent, and address any negative impacts that they may cause, contribute to, or be directly linked to. We cover a wide range of sustainability legislation including:
The Norwegian Transparency Act
Ensures decent working conditions and respect for Human Rights in supply chains. Companies must map and assess their suppliers, maintain transparency, and provide public reporting on their efforts.
Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
Requires mandatory due diligence for Human Rights and environmental risks. Companies must identify, prevent, and address potential impacts in their operations and supply chains to ensure responsible and sustainable practices.
Defines sustainable economic activities to guide investments toward green growth. Aims to reduce environmental impact, promote resource efficiency, and align financial flows with sustainability goals.
EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
Expands sustainability reporting obligations for large companies. Requires transparent ESG reporting, providing stakeholders with insights into environmental, social, and governance practices.
Ensures responsible sourcing and trade of conflict minerals such as tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG). Requires importers to conduct due diligence to address risks of human rights violations and environmental harm.
Prohibits the import of goods linked to deforestation, such as soy, coffee, and palm oil. Companies must assess their supply chains to prevent environmental damage and protect global forests.
