Learn what is new in Higg FEM 2020!

Apparel, footwear, and textile production takes place at thousands of facilities around the world. Each facility plays an important role in the overall sustainability of the industry. Therefore, we want to support you to properly know about the requirements to successfully complete the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM).

Let’s scale up sustainability improvements!

As you may know, the Higg FEM gives facilities a clear picture of their environmental impact and helps them to identify and prioritize opportunities to improve performance. To do this, the Higg FEM provides you with an easy-to-use self-assessment framework to measure your improvement towards your desired targets. In addition, you can verify your assessment and even communicate your results publicly.

To keep the Higg FEM assessment tool up to date, the Sustainable Apparel Coalition has made quite a few changes. We have prepared a webinar series to inform you about the changes that have been made in the Higg FEM 2020 so that you can commence your 2021 self-assessment with confidence. Please view further below for all the dates of our webinar series and learn what is new in the Higg FEM 2020.
