The Higg Index is a suite of tools used by the apparel and footwear industry to measure and evaluate the environmental and social impacts of their products and operations. The Higg Index was developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, a nonprofit organization that aims to promote sustainable practices in the apparel and footwear industry.
The Higg Index includes different tools for different stages of the supply chain, such as the Product Tools (for measuring the environmental and social impact of products), the Facility Tools (for measuring the environmental and social impact of facilities), and the Brand & Retailer Modules (for measuring the environmental and social impact of brands and retailers).
The Higg Index aims to provide a standardized framework for measuring sustainability performance in the apparel and footwear industry, which can help companies to identify areas for improvement, set targets, and communicate their sustainability performance to stakeholders.
