Higg Index

The Higg Index is a tool used by the apparel and footwear industry to measure and improve sustainability practices. It evaluates a company's environmental and social impacts across different areas, such as waste management, water usage, labor conditions, and chemical safety. By providing standardized assessments, the Higg Index helps brands identify strengths and areas for improvement, encouraging more responsible and eco-friendly production. Essentially, it acts as a health check for sustainability efforts, promoting transparency and continuous progress toward reducing the industry’s environmental footprint and ensuring fair treatment of workers.
