How We’re Creating an Impact
We drive progress towards our impact goals through our Higg Index tools and target programs. Learn more about both.
We provide a space for small and big brands, retailers, manufacturers, and affiliates, as well as other interested stakeholders, to share their viewpoints and experiences, and learn in a pre-competitive environment.
The Higg Index is a suite of five tools that aim to standardize a collective effort of sustainability across the supply chain. We developed these tools to help organizations make the best choices based on the information at hand, because systematic change starts by identifying, understanding and measuring areas of improvement to make a comprehensive plan.
