The\nSAC came into existence in 2009\/2010 after discussions between two industry giants,\nretailer Walmart and manufacturer of outdoor clothing Patagonia. Since its\ninception, the organisation has steadily grown in size and envisages creating a\nclothing, shoe and textile industry that causes no environmental damage and has\na positive influence on all people and communities who come into contact with\nthose industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, more than 250 brand manufacturers, suppliers and organisations are already <a href=\"https:\/\/apparelcoalition.org\/members\/\">SAC members<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first version of\nthe Higg Index was introduced in 2011 and it has been steadily improved on since\nthen as ever more experience and expertise have fed into the project over the\nintervening period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Higg Index is\ndivided into three sections: \u201cProduct Tools\u201d, \u201cFacility Tools\u201d and the \u201cBrand\nand Retail Tool\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cProduct Tools\u201d\nhelp Higg Index customers to understand what impact their products (clothing,\nshoes and textiles) have on the environment so that they can already take the\nright decisions during development. This category consists of three sections: firstly,\naspects relating to the sustainability of the materials used (MSI Material Sustainabilty\nIndex). The Design and Development Module (DDM) considers what materials and\nproduction technologies can ideally be combined with one another. In the Product\nModule (PM), the impact of a product over its entire lifecycle is assessed,\ne.g. how much water and energy it uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cFacility Tools\u201d scrutinise\nthe factories and production plants involved in the manufacturing process. They\nembrace the FEM (Facility Environmental Module), which analyses aspects such as\nwater consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, the use of chemicals or the environmental\nmanagement systems a company may employ, and also the FSLM (Facility Social\n&amp; Labor Modules) which focus on work safety and working conditions in the\nvalue chain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cBrand and Retail Tool\u201d\nhelps participating customers to measure the impact of clothing, shoes and\ntextiles on the environment, enabling them to identify and implement improvements.\nIt also helps to develop new and improved corporate social responsibilty (CSR)\nstrategies to improve the well-being of all those workers involved in the value\nchain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further information: <a href=\"https:\/\/apparelcoalition.org\/\">https:\/\/apparelcoalition.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Text and images: Reiner\nKnochel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Higg Index is a standard that enables brands, retailers and manufacturers to measure and evaluate their performance as regards sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":1466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[367,368],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sustainability","category-textiles"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Do you know the Higg Index?
