Ralph Lauren's Reporting Requirements

Thank you for being an important member of Ralph Lauren's value chain. Learn how to use Worldly to share your facility data.

Ralph Lauren’s commitment to sustainability

As a part of Ralph Lauren’s Supplier Engagement Strategy (SES) framework, Ralph Lauren requires manufacturing partners to provide visibility to their environmental and Social & Labor data annually through completing and verifying the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) 2023 and Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM).

Ralph Lauren partners with Worldly, Cascale’s technology partner, to help guide facilities in completing their assessment(s). Worldly will be sending email communications throughout the reporting period to each facility. These communications will include regular progress reminders, resources, as well as guidance on the next steps for the facility, in order to fulfill Ralph Lauren’s Worldly requirements on time.

Higg FEM

Ralph Lauren requires each facility to purchase the Higg FEM 2023, and complete both the Higg FEM self-assessment and verification modules on annual basis.
