Aligned with Cascale’s industry standard Higg Facility
Environmental Module (FEM) — the most comprehensive assessment for
environmental performance in the consumer goods industry —
Worldly’s new Facility Data Manager enables manufacturing
facilities to regularly share key impact data with their brand and
retail partners. Brands can access quantitative data on energy,
water, waste and other impacts submitted by dozens to thousands of
manufacturing facilities, as frequently as monthly. With FDM,
brands can see the waste, water and emissions they are uniquely
responsible for within a single factory. This addresses a critical
industry need for more timely, standardized, high-quality primary
data and insights for assessing ongoing risks and opportunities for
supply chain improvements and reporting sustainability
progress.
"We are pleased to introduce Facility Data Manager as a
transformative addition to Worldly’s sustainability solutions,"
says Scott Raskin, CEO of Worldly. “At Worldly, our goal is to help
companies make clear, credible progress against their environmental
and labor targets while helping them prepare and comply with
important evolving regulatory requirements. This requires more
actionable data and deeper collaboration between manufacturers and
brands. I’m excited about the improved insights and transparency
into performance, targets and progress that Facility Data Manager
provides, and the new level of partnership that it enables as
companies look to accelerate impact across the supply chain.”
Manufacturing facilities that complete the annual Higg FEM
assessment can automatically import monthly data from FDM into Higg
FEM, reducing reporting time and avoiding redundancy of work.
Additionally, within FDM, facilities can track their own
sustainability targets and share progress with their brand and
retailer partners, enabling a new level of collaboration and
transparency across the complex global supply chain.
"Strong communication with our brand partners is essential to
our business,” Cecilia Chan, Chief Commercial Officer of Legend
Swimwear Factory Limited, said. “Sustainability innovations like
this from Worldly deepen our collaboration with brands and make it
much easier for us to not only help them meet their environmental
targets, but ours as well."
Facility Data Manager has been developed in alignment with the
Higg FEM tool established by Cascale (formerly Sustainable Apparel
Coalition) in 2011. As the most widely used standardized
measurement framework within the apparel and footwear industry, the
Higg Index suite of tools is available exclusively on the Worldly
platform and used by 350+ brands and 40,000 facilities around the
world for measuring environmental and social impact. Cascale will
soon begin to engage its members through a governance process to
support FDM’s adoption into the Higg Index.
“We welcome the additional data insights and synergistic
opportunities provided by Worldly's Facility Data Manager," said
Colin Browne, CEO of Cascale, the global nonprofit alliance
empowering collaboration to drive equitable and restorative
business practices in the consumer goods industry. "FDM integrates
seamlessly with Cascale's Higg Facility Environmental Module to
provide a clear and transparent picture of environmental impacts
and help our members improve sustainability and align with relevant
industry standards. It’s exactly what our industry needs to
catalyze impact at scale.”
