Textile industry applies for higg to formulate long-term environmental management strategy standard

Higg Index is an index based tool for the garment, footwear and textile industries. It enables enterprises to evaluate the types of raw materials, products, production plants and technological processes within the range of environmental and product design options.

Higg certification index is a standard tool for more than 8000 manufacturers and 150 brands worldwide to use sustainable development reports. It eliminates the need for repeated self-assessment and helps identify opportunities for improving performance.

In addition, through planned integration, Higer is exploring how customers can collect insights to help them improve chemical management practices, reduce water toxicity risks, understand health impacts, and eliminate chemicals that need attention from upstream production processes.

Higg Environmental Management System (EMS) requires you to:

Designate a responsible staff member to coordinate environmental management activities and ensure that the staff member has the technical ability to identify significant environmental impacts related to current operations and develop long-term environmental management strategies.

Establish a system to ensure compliance with all laws, regulations, standards, codes andother regulatory requirements to constantly maintain all plant equipment, so that factory leaders and workers can participate in environmental strategy and performance work, and let subcontractors and upstream suppliers participate in environmental performance work through Higg index, and participate in environmental performance improvement work with local stakeholders.

Higg FEM is designed to:

Measure and quantify the sustainability impact of the plant,

Reduce redundancy in measuring and reporting sustainable development performance,

Drive business value by reducing risk and uncovering efficiency,

Create a common meaning and language to communicate sustainable development to stakeholders.

In order to establish a meaningful and effective environmental management system, the factory must first conduct an environmental impact assessment (environmental management system problem 3) to determine the most significant impact of the factory on the environment. Then create formal documents and clear environmental policies to describe the activities, products and services within the factory, including the commitment to continuous improvement and pollution prevention. Once we have a clear understanding of the main environmental impacts, we can create an overall environmental strategyand measurable environmental goals.
