How GOLDBECK & osapiens Streamline Sustainable Supply Chains
GOLDBECK operates across Europe, delivering construction and operational services for a broad mix of real estate assets.
These include warehouses, factories, car parks, offices, schools, sports halls, fire stations and housing.
The firm also carries out refurbishment and expansion projects, in addition to offering services that preserve and maintain existing buildings.
Meeting the LkSG challenge with automation
As a family-owned company, GOLDBECK designs buildings with tailored functionality and a focus on sustainability and cost-efficiency.
Its model integrates planning, construction and long-term service delivery under one roof.
This single-source approach gives clients speed and efficiency and helps deliver on both performance and environmental expectations.
To support this work, the company depends on a large and diverse network of suppliers.
That complexity brings its own risks, especially in the context of the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, known as LkSG.
The law requires businesses to review their supply chains for any environmental or human rights violations.
In construction, where every site involves multiple partners and subcontractors, that task is considerable.
In 2022, GOLDBECK began preparing its supply base to comply with LkSG.
With thousands of suppliers and decentralised purchasing across departments, the firm faced a challenge: assessing every direct supplier for possible human rights or environmental risks within a short timeframe and without relying on manual processing.
To meet that challenge, GOLDBECK adopted the osapiens HUB platform.
This digital tool automates supply chain compliance and risk monitoring.
It replaces repetitive administrative work with automated checks, allowing GOLDBECK to focus on strategic analysis and early risk identification.
The platform uses standardised interfaces and an easy-to-navigate dashboard, which helps ensure quick implementation across different departments.
Legal timelines are tight, but digital automation means GOLDBECK can stay on track.
It also enables sustainability assessment by screening supplier performance on both social and environmental fronts.
Building transparency into procurement
GOLDBECK’s use of osapiens HUB supports a more transparent and centralised approach to procurement.
Through the system, the company consolidates supplier data, monitors compliance and gains visibility into potential risk across its construction network.
The firm treats the LkSG not only as a legal requirement but also as a way to raise standards within its supply chain.
With automation in place, GOLDBECK gains capacity to act early and prevent possible harm.
The platform allows teams to track, analyse and respond to risk, turning compliance into a tool for better procurement.
“Many businesses see regulatory delays as a reason to slow down,” says Alberto Zamora, CEO and Co-Founder of osapiens.
“Our customers take the opposite view: they prepare today to lead tomorrow.
"They don’t see sustainability as a regulatory burden, but as a competitive advantage.
"We’re proud to give them the technology and confidence to move forward.”
Preparing for upcoming European regulation
With LkSG compliance underway, GOLDBECK is now preparing for a wider range of European regulations using osapiens HUB.
The platform’s centralised data model allows the company to store and access all necessary information for reporting or audit purposes, reducing the need for repeated manual input across departments.
Beyond Germany’s due diligence rules, the software also supports new and emerging EU regulations.
These include the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which targets imported products linked to deforestation; the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which sets new standards for ESG disclosures; and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which extends due diligence expectations across the EU.
