The Higg FEM certification, which stands for High-Impact Green & Sustainable Fiber & Textile Facility Environmental Module, is a sustainable textile and apparel certification system proposed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC). The Higg FEM certification aims to establish comprehensive sustainability standards for textiles by measuring the environmental impact at various stages of the textile's entire lifecycle, ensuring that the environmental impact of textiles during production, use, and disposal is minimized. It covers all aspects of the fiber, yarn, fabric, accessory, and manufacturing processes. The main content includes environmental management systems, energy and greenhouse gases, water resource management, wastewater management, waste management, and chemical management;
As an independent third-party verification institution with verification qualifications, GAIA can provide customers with HIGG/FEM verification services for all aspects of the process, including fibers, yarns, fabrics, accessories, and manufacturing, at any time;
