Cascale’s Higg Index Tools
In 2009, Walmart and Patagonia joined forces to develop a universal approach to measure sustainability performance and drive collective action. These tools became Cascale’s Higg Index, exclusively available on Worldly and accessed by over 40,000 users worldwide. Today, the Higg Index is a trusted and best-in-class toolset accelerating our collective work to Combat Climate Change and Support Decent Work for All.
Our tools include the Higg Index Brand & Retail Module (Higg BRM), Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM), and Higg Product Tools (Higg PM and Higg MSI).
