Verification

The Higg FEM is an important tool used by companies to measure the environmental impact of their operations and supply chain. It helps companies identify areas where they can reduce their environmental impact, improve sustainability, and operate in a more responsible way. By partnering with Green Story, businesses can now have their Higg FEM scores verified and validated by an accredited verifier body. This also furthers our capabilities lifecycle assessment capabilities as we can verify facility data.
