Worldly for manufacturers: Complete one sustainability assessment and share it with every brand partner.

The Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM), stewarded and governed by Cascale and implemented globally through the Worldly sustainability and supply chain intelligence platform, is the industry-standard tool for measuring a facility’s environmental performance across energy use, water consumption, waste generation, and chemical management. Facilities complete the Higg FEM once per year, and the results are immediately available to share with every brand partner that accepts it — which includes more than 300 brands and retailers on the Worldly platform.

The Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (Higg FSLM), stewarded and governed by Cascale and implemented globally through the Worldly sustainability and supply chain intelligence platform, is a standardized assessment that documents a facility’s social and labor practices — covering wages, working hours, health and safety, worker rights, and management systems. Like the Higg FEM, the Higg FSLM is completed once and accepted by brand customers globally, giving facilities a single credible record of their social compliance without repeating the process for each buyer.

Beyond satisfying brand data requests, completing assessments through Worldly gives facilities a clear picture of their own environmental and social performance — identifying where they are strong, where gaps exist, and how they compare to peer facilities in the same region, sector, and size category. This benchmarking insight helps facilities prioritize where to invest, have more informed conversations with brand partners, and build a performance record that strengthens their competitive position across their entire customer base. Approximately 67% of facilities on Worldly have set targets to improve energy use, moving from data collection into active improvement.

Worldly supports facility improvement by turning assessment data into actionable benchmarks — showing how a facility’s energy use, water consumption, waste, and social practices compare to peers, and where the most impactful improvements can be made. Approximately 92% of facilities on Worldly actively track energy use, and around 67% have set targets to reduce it, reflecting a progression from measurement to action that the platform is designed to support. Related resources including customer stories such as Prosperity Textiles’ 17% water savings demonstrate what consistent use of Worldly data makes possible.
