New free Webinar Series: Higg Brand & Retail Module

Sustainable operations in the fashion industry is more important than ever before. Brands and retailers play a key role in transforming the current wasteful and polluting system into a more environmentally friendly model. The Higg Brand & Retail Module (Higg BRM) guides fashion brands and retailers to introduce more sustainable practices in the apparel, footwear and textile industry. Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) has now launched the latest version.

The Higg Brand & Retail Module (Higg BRM) is a tool which provides the more than 500 (1) brands and retailers who have committed to use it with a comprehensive way to assess their performance for 16 social and 11 environmental parameters of their global value chain. These include parameters such as human rights, fair wages or greenhouse gas emissions. Users can manage their sustainability priorities based on the results. This will make it possible for the apparel industry to compare sustainability performance at a brand level.

This suite of tools aims to protect people and the planet. It helps businesses of all sizes measure the social and environmental impacts of their value chain by identifying sustainability risks along many different lifecycle stages of fashion items. These lifecycle stages include distribution centers, management systems, offices, packaging, product, retail stores, supply chain, transportation and use & end of use.
