The Higg Index comprises several easy-to-access, online tools or “modules” designed for members from every segment of the industry. By entering data about their business’ impact areas, SAC members generate standardized performance scores that can be shared with current and future supply chain partners around the world at the click of a button. Scores are anonymized and aggregated, which allows businesses to benchmark their results against the industry and serves as a powerful incentive to strive for greater improvements and raise the sustainability bar.
All SAC members commit to using the Higg Index and to collectively revising and improving it. This ensures that the Index evolves into the most comprehensive, relevant and robust sustainability assessment tool possible—one that propels its users far beyond compliance measures and towards the upper reaches of innovation and impact.
