Position Green Acquires Factlines to Strengthen Supply Chain Due Diligence Platform

Sustainability software and advisory company Position Green has acquired Oslo-based Factlines, a supply chain transparency and human rights due diligence solutions provider, adding approximately 200 customers to Position Green's existing base of 800. The deal is the third acquisition by Position Green in recent months as it seeks to build what it describes as Europe's leading integrated sustainability platform.

Founded in 2012, Factlines provides solutions enabling companies to identify, assess and act on ESG and operational risks across thousands of suppliers, and supports compliance with regulations such as the EU's European Union Deforestation Regulation and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. Industrial investment company Arendals Fossekompani, which acquired a majority stake in Factlines in 2022, will become a shareholder in Position Green and reinvest in the company as part of the transaction. Position Green's prior acquisitions this year included ESG reporting provider Greenomy in September and carbon management software provider Morescope in August.

The acquisition reflects growing corporate demand for integrated supply chain sustainability solutions as regulatory pressure mounts through frameworks including the CSDDD and EUDR. Most of companies' material environmental and social impact occurs within global supply chains, making supplier engagement and monitoring tools increasingly central to corporate ESG strategy. The consolidation of Factlines into Position Green's platform positions the combined company to offer clients a more comprehensive solution spanning emissions management, ESG reporting, compliance and supply chain risk in a single system.

Factlines plans to expand its Supplier Relationship Management platform within Position Green with enhanced automation, AI capabilities, APIs and third-party data integrations. For Indian companies exporting to European markets, tools aligned with EUDR and CSDDD requirements are becoming essential as EU buyers face mandatory due diligence obligations and increasingly require upstream transparency from suppliers. The growth of integrated sustainability software platforms signals a structural shift in how supply chain compliance and ESG management are being operationalised across sectors.

Key figure — 200 additional customers from Factlines, bringing total to approximately 1,000
