Higg FEM (Facility Environmental Module) Verification is a process that confirms the accuracy and completeness of a manufacturing facility’s self-assessment using the Higg FEM tool. The verification process is conducted by an accredited third-party auditor and is a critical component of the Higg FEM assessment process.
The verification audit is conducted after the facility completes its self-assessment using the Higg FEM tool. The audit involves an on-site visit by the auditor, who reviews the facility’s documentation and verifies the accuracy of the information provided in the self-assessment. The auditor may also conduct additional testing and sampling to validate the facility’s environmental performance.
The verification process is designed to ensure that the facility’s sustainability performance has been accurately and comprehensively assessed using the Higg FEM tool. It provides an independent assessment of the facility’s sustainability performance, which is essential for buyers and stakeholders to have confidence in the facility’s environmental sustainability claims.
Facilities that successfully complete the verification process receive a Higg FEM Scorecard, which provides a comprehensive overview of their sustainability performance and allows them to benchmark their performance against industry peers. The Scorecard also provides actionable insights and recommendations for improvement, which can help facilities develop strategies to reduce their environmental impact and improve their overall sustainability performance.
In summary, Higg FEM Verification is a critical component of the Higg FEM assessment process, providing an independent assessment of a facility’s sustainability performance and ensuring that sustainability claims are accurate and credible.
