FEM Training – Master Facility Environmental Module for a Greener Supply Chain
What is FEM Training?
FEM (Facility Environmental Module) Training is designed to help factories and production units understand and implement the FEM requirements under the Higg Index—a globally recognized tool developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC). The FEM is used to measure and improve a facility’s environmental performance, including energy use, water management, emissions, chemical handling, and waste.
Our training guides you through the full process—from data collection to verification—so your facility can align with buyer expectations and meet sustainability goals confidently.
