NEW FEATURES OF THE HIGG FEM 4.0 VERSION
Upgraded and refined from version 3.0, Higg FEM 4.0 was officially launched in April 2024 with major improvements aimed at enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and customizability. These updates make it easier for businesses to achieve their sustainability goals.
Below are the highlights of Higg FEM 4.0:
1. Enhanced Accuracy in Data Collection and Verification
New anomaly detection tools: These identify inconsistencies or inaccuracies in data.
Improved verification process: Transparent assessment mechanisms ensure more accurate reporting.
As a result, businesses are required to provide accurate and consistent data during the self-assessment process and audit preparation.
2. Focus on Critical Environmental Issues
Building on Higg FEM 3.0’s emphasis on emissions, water, waste, chemicals, resource efficiency, and innovation, version 4.0 focuses more on climate change and wastewater-waste management:
Climate change: Emphasizes greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and energy efficiency management.
Water and waste management: Detailed updates improve production facilities' efficiency in these areas.
3. Customized Questions Based on Production Types
Before audits, businesses must complete a self-assessment on the Worldly.io platform by answering specific questions. Higg FEM 4.0 has revised these questions for better focus:
Irrelevant questions for specific production processes are removed, increasing the focus and efficiency of the evaluation.
New, industry-specific questions better reflect operational activities and environmental risks.
4. Alignment with Global Standards
Aligned with leading international environmental standards such as:
GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Measurement Framework).
Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC).
Helps businesses meet stringent global partner and market requirements.
5. Integrated Visual Reporting System
New visual dashboards and automated reports: Make environmental performance tracking easier and more scientific.
Improved action planning: Enables data-driven strategies.
6. Supply Chain Assessment Support
Tracks environmental performance across the entire supply chain, from suppliers to partners.
Improves coordination and enhances sustainability across the supply chain.
7. Improved Accessibility and Usability
Enhanced user interface for businesses of all sizes.
Additional support documents and best practice guides facilitate faster and more efficient implementation.
