Products of Change and Worldly Join Forces to Streamline Supply Chain Data for the Brand and Licensing Industry
The partnership gives the brand and licensing industry a more connected and efficient way to manage supply chain reporting — powered by Worldly’s platform, home to Cascale’s Higg Index.
5 May 2026, London and San Francisco – Products of Change is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with supply chain intelligence platform, Worldly, marking an important step forward in aligning sustainability data and accelerating impact across the global brand and licensing industry.
As regulatory requirements increase and expectations on transparency continue to grow, the need for connected, efficient systems has never been more critical. Through its new partnership, Products of Change will work alongside Worldly – home to global non-profit alliance Cascale’s Higg Index, including the Higg Facility Environmental Module, already used by tens of thousands of manufacturers, retailers, and brands globally – to help simplify and scale solutions across the industry.
To mark the partnership, Products of Change and Worldly will co-host a webinar on Wednesday 13 May, exploring how more connected supply chain data systems can reduce reporting duplication for brand and licensing teams. Register for your place here.
By bringing together Worldly’s established supply chain data and intelligence infrastructure with POC’s cross-industry network, this collaboration aims to reduce duplication, streamline reporting, and create a more connected ecosystem for sustainability, social compliance, and primary data collection.
“Brand and licensing teams are being asked to report more, disclose more, and act faster, often across systems that weren't built to talk to each other. Partnering with Products of Change lets us bring credible, comparable supply chain data and intelligence to a community that's ready to use it. That's how the industry moves forward together.”
As requirements continue to evolve across legislation, retail expectations, and brand standards, we have a collective opportunity and responsibility to move towards a more aligned approach.
Together, Worldly and POC will convene category-specific and community-wide programs that align the licensing industry around consistent environmental and social data standards. These programs will have participation and perspective spanning the full value chain, bringing together manufacturers, brands, retailers, and licensees to discuss data collection standardization, benchmarking facility-level impacts, improving supplier communication, and create clear, interoperable pathways for exchanging supply chain information across product categories.
“This partnership reflects a shared ambition: to move our industry from fragmented approaches toward a much more aligned system with standardized measurement – one that enables the businesses of all shapes and sizes across our community to track progress, meet requirements, and accelerate their impact. POC is so proud to work together with Worldly to continue to support the industry on its sustainability transition and action real, meaningful and measurable progress at scale."
Products of Change will be hosting its first webinar with Worldly on Wednesday 13 May at 16:00 BST / 11:00 EDT, to explore how greater alignment across data systems can unlock efficiencies, reduce duplication, and enable more consistent, actionable insights across supply chains.
As compliance and impact reporting requirements continue to increase, businesses across the brand and licensing industry are facing growing pressure to report, disclose, and act, often across multiple platforms and frameworks.
This conversation will focus on how we connect the dots, bringing industry together to build a more streamlined, interoperable approach to sustainability data.
