The Higg Index is a tool that enables brands, retailers, and facilities to measure their sustainability performance. It includes energy/greenhouse gas emissions; water, air emissions; waste; and chemicals management and social impacts across the life cycle of an apparel and footwear product. The index was developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition after over a decade of scientific research to empower businesses to make improvements that protect the well-being of factory workers, local communities, and the environment.
Good On You is a rating system that helps customers identify which fashion brands are the âleastâ and âmostâ ethical based on metrics like transparency, fair working conditions, environmental production practices, and animal welfare. The system has analyzed more than 3,000 brands by collecting 500 data points across more than 100 key sustainability issues, indicators, and standards systems (including Fair Trade, Cradle to Cradle, OEKO-TEX STeP, and the Global Organic Textile Standard). Their methodology aggregates the collected data into a simple 5 point scoreâfrom 1 âWe Avoidâ this brand to 5, this brand is âGreatâ.
Sustainable Markets Initiativeâs Fashion Taskforce is a task force that works on a digital ID system designed to inform consumers of sustainability credentials. The group is also exploring how regenerative farming practices can reverse the damage being done to the planet. Some brands that are part of this process includes Burberry, Giorgio Armani, ChloĂ©, and Stella McCartney.
