Cascale Higg Index Tools

Use the Higg Product Module (PM) and Material Sustainability Index (MSI) to assess the environmental impact of different material options.

Identify materials with lower carbon footprint, water usage, and chemical impact.

Select more sustainable materials for new product designs.

Track and report on the reduction in environmental impact over time.

Use the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) to assess water usage across different processes.

Identify areas with high water consumption and potential leaks or inefficiencies.

Implement water-saving technologies and practices, such as closed-loop systems and rainwater harvesting.

Monitor water usage and track the reduction in consumption over time.

Require suppliers to complete the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) assessment.

Review the assessment results and identify areas where suppliers need to improve.

Provide training and support to help suppliers implement better sustainability practices.

Monitor supplier performance and track the progress over time.

Complete the relevant Higg Index modules (BRM, FEM, PM).

Compare their performance scores against industry averages and best-in-class performers.

Identify areas where they are lagging behind and set targets for improvement.

Track progress and regularly update data to monitor performance relative to peers.

Engage suppliers in the Manufacturer Climate Action Program (MCAP) and encourage them to set science-aligned targets.

Track supplier progress in reducing GHG emissions using the Higg FEM.

Collaborate with suppliers to identify and implement emission reduction strategies.

Report on the overall reduction in GHG emissions across the supply chain.
