Wendler India Higg (FEM) Assessment
1.Sep 2025
What is the Higg Index?
Measuring Sustainability with the Higg Index
As demand for eco-friendly fashion grows, brands face the challenge of measuring the environmental impact of their products—often a complex and costly process. The Higg Index, developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, provides a standardized way to assess eco-impact across the supply chain, helping manufacturers identify opportunities to reduce their footprint and improve long-term sustainability.
Commitment to Sustainability: Higg FEM Progress
As a trusted partner to the garment industry, we uphold high standards of quality and sustainability. Our production facility in India has now completed the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) self-assessment, while our Vietnam site has been part of the program since 2022.
The Higg FEM reviews environmental performance in key areas such as energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water, waste, and chemicals—helping facilities identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
The self-assessment is the first step, while Levels 1–3 reflect increasing depth of environmental practice, from meeting basic requirements to implementing leading best practices.
Each year, we will repeat the assessment and continue working toward higher levels to strengthen the well-being of our employees, local communities, and the environment.
