Higg Index FEM background

背景：

SAC is a non-profit organization founded in 2011, covering apparel, footwear and home textile industries. SAC has more than 200 members, including brands and manufacturers, retailers and government organisations, trade organisations, non-profit organisations, universities and service providers such as SGS.

In 2013, SGS have formed strategic partnership with SAC as a member of the Steering Technical Committee. Meanwhile, we directly involved in the development of Higg V2 &V3 content and verification protocol as well as steering convergence of Chemical Management for Higg v3. Besides, we were the technical reviewer for the new “How to Higg Manual” and Higg v3 verifier training content.

The vision of SAC is to establish a standard tool to measure sustainability performance for the industries. Higg Index is a suite of self-assessment tools, Higg FEM is just one of them, with practical, qualitative questions to assess the environmental performance of sustainable development, pushing manufacturers to improve. A verified module by the qualified verifier can improve the trust of the supply chain and customers. Higg FEM has released version V3 in Nov. 2017. SAC
