But how does it work, and who's using this tool in their facility? The Higg Facility Tool can help you manage, measure, improve sustainability performance in your facilities, and meet your sustainability goal and ambitions. This tool is Standardizing the Measurement of Social and Environmental Impacts in Facilities by informing manufacturers, brands, and retailers about the environmental performance of their individual facilities, while empowering them to scale sustainability improvements. 1 | Social & Labor Module The Higg Social & Labor Module promotes safe labor conditions along with fair pay for the billions of garment and textile factory workers all around the world.
