The Higg Index’s Brand Modules are used by apparel, footwear and homes textiles brands of all sizes to measure the environmental and social and labor performance of their design, sourcing and operations. The modules assess corporate policies and practices in every impact area and at every level of sustainability, from basic, compliance-level practices to advanced and far-reaching best practices. Users enter their own data and receive performance scores broken down by category (such as manufacturing, packaging, and transport) as well as an overall brand score. Scores are displayed anonymously to all users, allowing brands to benchmark their performance and discover where they stand compared to others. Brands that are SAC members may also request to share scores with other brands, retailers and facilities transparently, which can lead to new partnerships and the sharing of best practices.
