The Higg Index tool provides unparalleled sustainability performance information, enabling the apparel and footwear industry to evolve into a more sustainable industry,” said Sean Cady, chairman of Global Sustainability, Responsibility and Trade for VF Corporation. “We recognize that a large number of industrial impacts occur during the extraction and processing of raw materials. Across industries, objective, robust and accurate data sets are needed to enable sustainable material choices at scale. Through the use of the Higg Index, our industry has the tools, opportunity and responsibility to improve sustainable business decisions for the betterment of people and our planet. We encourage the entire badak togel industry to join us as we strive to create a more sustainable future.
There is an urgent need for the industry to come together, especially when it comes to data collection. While the Higg Index tool represents tremendous industry progress towards measuring sustainability performance, better data will continue to strengthen and improve this tool over time. SAC and its members are asking the materials industry to help build the most robust, up-to-date database that will ensure increased data accuracy. By investing time and resources in collecting better environmental impact data, we can empower consumers to make more informed decisions about what they buy.
Transparency is critical to driving systemic change for a healthier planet and is one of four core focus areas in SAC’s new strategic plan. By 2025, SAC aims to achieve 100% member participation in ongoing performance assessments that the public can trust and trust. The launch of this transparency program marks the beginning of the journey to achieve this ambitious goal, providing a credible standard for unifying how sustainability information is shared. Now, the fashion industry can power solutions with trusted data for comprehensive performance reporting and help consumers make more informed choices about the sustainable apparel coalition.
