As outlined in United Legwear and Apparel Co’s Compliance and Quality Assurance Manual, all tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers are required to complete the Higg FEM self-assessment to help identify and prioritize potential opportunities for facility improvements. The verification must be completed by a SAC approved Verifier Body to ensure sustainable improvements are implemented and all questions about the self-assessment are addressed.
By completing these assessments, suppliers will be able to:
- Demonstrate leadership in the industry and commitment to sustainability
- Understand the social and environmental impacts of their facilities
- Identify opportunities to improve facility performance
- Benchmark your results against industry peers
- Easily share the results of one assessment with numerous customers and value chain partners.
If you have any questions about the FEM & FSLM requirements, please contact sustainability@unitedlegwear.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: You should receive a tailored communication from both United Legwear & Apparel Co. and Worldly notifying you about which plan to purchase. But you can access information about each plan’s contents here.

Answer: The final deadline for completing and posting your FEM 2022 was 31st December 2023. The deadline has now passed. You will need to buy a new subscription for the latest 2023 assessments.
