The textile industry has considerable environmental and social impacts, it uses a lot of energy, water, and other natural resources while the manufacturing process poses significant environmental and worker risks. The Higg Index is a standardized supply chain measurement tool which allows companies to measure and understand the environmental and social impacts of their products and services, it is key to the Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s aim of transforming businesses sustainably.
With these tools, the Leadership & Sustainability team is ready to assist you in managing and developing your supply chain and strategic programs. We are also qualified to support you in managing your complete supply chain in accordance with the Higg FEM, FSLM, SLCP or similar programs.
