Umsetzung des LkSG mit IntegrityNext: Zentrale Erkenntnisse für das Reporting
Das vierte Kapitel unserer fünfteiligen Blog-Reihe liefert die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse aus LkSG-Kundenprojekten zu Reporting und Dokumentation.
How IntegrityNext Helps Manufacturing Sustainability
Manufacturing companies rely on a steady flow of diverse input materials, yet upstream production and processing are often resource-, energy-, and water-intensive. Lower tiers of the supply chain face persistent environmental and human rights challenges, including issues related to conflict minerals. In addition, health and safety concerns ripple across the industry’s complex value chains, further complicating compliance and sustainability efforts.
We help you manage the key risks in your supply chain and unlock opportunities for greater efficiency, impact, and long-term value.
Manufacturing Industry Leaders Trust IntegrityNext
We Understand & Solve Your Industry’s Challenges
Our solutions cover the topics most material to your industry, enabling you to meet legal requirements and boost sustainability performance.
Decarbonizing Carbon-Intensive Supply Chains
Industrial manufacturing supply chains, particularly in the production of steel and other metals, electronics, chemicals, or plastics, are major sources of carbon emissions. Leveraging ESG tech solutions can help track and reduce Scope 3 emissions, transition to renewable energy, and drive decarbonization.
Addressing Risks in Resource Extraction and Processing
Lower-tier supply chains are rife with ESG risks, including forced labor, poor working conditions, and weak environmental standards in mining and metal production. ESG software enables efficient due diligence to monitor compliance with regulations, reduce risks related to conflict minerals, and ensure ethical sourcing.
Phasing Out Hazardous Chemicals and Ensuring Product Safety
The widespread use of hazardous chemicals in manufacturing poses risks to worker safety and environmental health. Advanced ESG platforms support compliance with safety standards and regulations, facilitate the shift to safer alternatives, and ensure product safety throughout the value chain, including the use phase.
Promoting Circular Design and Material Efficiency
Adopting circular product design and alternative raw materials can reduce resource consumption and dependency, minimize waste, and strengthen supply chain resilience. ESG solutions provide visibility into material flows and supplier practices, enabling manufacturers to embrace sustainability and meet customer demand for eco-friendly products.
Strengthening Supply Chain Resilience and Competitiveness
Sustainable supply chain practices not only mitigate risks but also provide a competitive edge in customer bids and contracting processes. ESG tools empower manufacturers to align supply chains with sustainability goals, enhancing resilience while creating positive downstream impacts for customers.

Supply Chain Due Diligence
Industrial manufacturers face significant risks related to labor rights violations, unethical raw material sourcing, and environmental degradation. Our due diligence solutions ensure compliance with regulations like the EU’s CSDDD, offering proactive risk management tools to monitor and address ESG risks in supply chains.
Sustainability Reporting
Sustainability reporting is essential to demonstrate efforts to reduce environmental impacts and meet the requirements of frameworks such as the CSRD or GRI. Our platform streamlines reporting processes by providing transparent ESG data, enabling companies to align with stakeholder expectations and regulatory standards.
Carbon Emissions & Decarbonization
Manufacturing processes are highly carbon-intensive, with significant emissions stemming from raw material extraction and processing, production, and transportation. We help you monitor embedded carbon and reduce Scope 3 emissions, ensuring compliance with regulations like the EU’s CBAM and driving progress toward sustainability targets.
Deforestation & Biodiversity
Raw materials like timber, rubber, and renewable feedstocks used in manufacturing are often tied to deforestation and biodiversity loss. Our solutions ensure compliance with the EUDR, promote sustainable sourcing, and minimize environmental harm throughout the value chain.
Multi-Tier Supply Chain Visibility
Manufacturers often operate complex, multi-tier supply chains that demand transparency to mitigate ESG risks and improve resilience. Our advanced visibility tools help you map suppliers, track compliance, and enhance supply chain sustainability while reducing operational vulnerabilities.
Product & Material Compliance
Compliance with product-specific regulations – including REACH, RoHS and the Conflict Minerals Regulation in the EU, as well as the TSCA and Dodd-Frank Act in the United States – is critical for manufacturers. We help you simplify these processes, ensuring adherence to global standards and supporting the development of safer and more sustainable products.
