Integrity Next

IntegrityNext provides a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for managing supply chain sustainability and compliance. The company was founded in Munich, Germany, in 2016 by Martin Berr-Sorokin, Simon Jaehnig, and Nick Heine. After operating on a bootstrapped model and achieving profitability in 2020, IntegrityNext secured its first institutional funding in March 2023, a €100 million investment from EQT Growth to accelerate its European expansion and product development. In early 2026, co-founder Martin Berr-Sorokin transitioned to the role of Chairman of the Board of Advisors, with Bruno Teuber taking over as CEO to lead the company's global expansion. The company's business model is centered on a subscription-based software platform that enables businesses to monitor their suppliers for compliance with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. The platform is designed to help procurement, sustainability, and compliance teams automate supplier assessments, monitor risks in real-time, and generate audit-ready reports. This is driven by increasing regulatory pressure, such as the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which mandate greater transparency and accountability in corporate supply chains. IntegrityNext's platform uses AI to provide multi-tier supply chain visibility, allowing clients to monitor ESG risks down to the raw material level. Key features include automated data collection, risk scoring, supplier onboarding, and certificate validation. The system covers a wide range of sustainability topics, including human rights, forced labor, decarbonization, product and material compliance, and responsible mineral sourcing. The platform integrates with existing enterprise systems like SAP, Coupa, and Celonis through open APIs, embedding sustainability data directly into procurement workflows. By centralizing compliance data, the software helps companies reduce the administrative burden of managing evolving regulations and allows them to reuse data across multiple requirements.
