HIGG INDEX

Higg Index Score

The Higg Index is a suite of standardized tools developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) for assessing the environmental and societal impact of entire value chains in the apparel and footwear industries.

Higg FEM

The Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) is a self-assessment tool for the environmental aspects of manufacturing facilities in apparel and footwear supply chains. It consists of seven assessment items: Environmental Management Systems, Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Water Use, Wastewater, Emissions to Air, Waste Management, and Chemical Management. Only facilities that have received certification by a SAC-certified third party are allowed to publicly disclose their scores.

Future Targets

To ensure transparency of Higg FEM assessments, we will further pursue Verification (vFEM) via third-party certification. As we comply with the regulatory frameworks in each country/region, we will work to improve our score globally and publicly disclose performance improvements at our various manufacturing locations.
