    What is Higg-Index?

    The Higg Index is a suite of tools for the standardized measurement of value chain sustainability, and it is central to the SAC’s mission to transform businesses for exponential impact. It is comprised of a core set of five tools that together assess the social and environmental performance of the value chain and the environmental impacts of products, including the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM), Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM), Higg Brand & Retail Module (BRM), Higg Materials Sustainability Index (MSI), and Higg Product Module (PM).

    It was developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, a nonprofit organization founded by a group of fashion companies.

    What is Higg FEM?

    The Higg facility environmental module (Higg FEM) is a sustainability assessment tool that standardizes how facilities measure and evaluate their environmental performance, year over year.

    The Higg FEM is designed to:

    • Measure and quantify the sustainability impacts of a facility
    • Reduce redundancy in measuring and reporting sustainability performance
    • Drive business value through reducing risk and uncovering efficiencies
    • Create a common means and language to communicate sustainability to stakeholders

    What are the benefits of Higg?

    • Higg index practice helps a factory to identify a range of sustainability opportunities and risks in the facility through the supply chain.
    • To learn adequately about the future sustainability impacts and evaluate the performance
    • By using this standard tool future sustainable strategy and leadership establishment can be developed for long term goals.
    • It also helps to avoid the waste of time and cost and proper utilize of time.

    What to know before you get started?

    • Facilities should be honest and transparent when completing assessment.
    • The Higg FEM is not a pass/fail assessment, rather a tool that identifies opportunities to improve and it’s not an audit.

    Benefits of working with GCL:

    • Network of Overseas Strategic Partners about 50 countries.
    • SAC approved world recognized Verifier & Trainer
    • Recognized all over the world
    • Web Discussion Group

    • What is Air Quality Assessment?
    • Air quality assessment is a measure of how clean or polluted the air is. Monitoring the air quality of the environment is a prime concern for human beings because all of the things in the world directly, indirectly, or partially depend on the environment. For this reason, it is necessary to measure the air quality condition.

       

      • Why Air Quality Assessment is important?

      Air Quality Assessment is important to measure the air quality of the surroundings and to monitor whether the air existing components are within range of or exceed the standard limit. Because air pollution can cause both long-term and short-term health problems. Many people suffer from breathing problems because air quality standard limits are exceeded. By measuring air quality and taking the necessary steps we can reduce air pollution.

Basically, gases are released into the air from boiler stacks, chimneys or diesel generator set stacks, etc. from various industries after the incineration process, i.e. method to remove or burn harmful gases before releasing them into the environment.

      • Why Stack Air Emission Assessment is important?

      Stack air emission assessment is important because stacks from boilers and industrial processes will carry pollutants such as CO2, CO, SOx, NOx, particles, solvents, and other dusts and gases.  These can have a detrimental effect on local air quality and for this reason, such emissions are often regulated. By doing a stack air emission assessment, we can monitor whether the emissions are below the limits.

      • Benefits of Stack Air Emission Assessment.
        • Assesses the current condition of generators, boilers or other related machines
        • Measures process efficiency and process control

      • Why Volatile Organic Compound Assessment is important?

      Volatile Organic Compound Assessment is important because volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands. By identifying the area and measuring the quantity of VOCs around the area we can take the necessary steps.
