Below we introduce our verifier and trainer services related to the SAC Higg FEM.
As a FEM verifier we are able to verify all your responses and evidence documents related to your FEM self-assessment.
The verification can be conducted either on-site or off-site, depending on your individual situation. If you want to communicate your score publicly, you need an on-site verification. If you need your verification only for B2B communication, you can start with an off-site verification.
Before arriving on-site, we will review all your self-assessment responses as well as the documents you have uploaded as evidence.
We review the documents and process with interviews and on-site verifications, following the manufacturing flow and reviewing the situation in the factory.
We will finalize your Higg score and upload the verified results. As soon as you have reviewed the verified results and approved them, you can publish the results.
As a FEM chemical specialist verifier we are qualified to additionally conduct Level 2 and Level 3 verifications of the chemicals management section.
This is especially interesting to you, if you have achieved Level 1 in the chemicals management section and wish to improve at Levels 2 and 3.*
At Level 2, you are in a position to improve your chemicals management program, reduce the use of hazardous chemicals beyond RSLs and MRSLs, and move towards sourcing preferred chemicals.
At Level 3, you are for example able to collaborate with brands and suppliers to select chemicals for alternatives assessment.
*Please note: For a robust chemicals management program you must fully complete all Level 1 requirements. That may take several years for some facilities. But don’t worry – we will support you during the process!
As an SAC Higg FEM service provider, we know that many businesses in the textile and apparel sector are striving to further improve when it comes to implementing ecological and economical sustainablity into their production processes. This is why we offer various trainings on this topic. Depending on your needs and interests, we can either give you an overview of the topic, starting with “How to use the Higg Index FEM Tool” or provide you with highly specialised trainings on how to meet the Higg FEM requirements.
No matter if you are completely new to the topic or a sustainability leader – we support you with the whole process from start to verification or help you to improve your status quo.
