Environmental Reporting
What We’re Doing
Our key Tier 1 and Tier 2 facilities complete the annual Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM). The FEM measures the environmental impact of product manufacturing at facilities -- from water use, to waste management, to chemical and energy use. We provide the factories with Factory Improvement Plans which include training and guidance to assist them in not only improving their scores but reducing environmental impacts as well.
Where We’re Going
Our goal is to achieve 100% Environmental Reporting from all Tier 1 Factories.
