Designing Sustainable Fashion - Higg Product Tools

Are you a fashion designer? Do you want to design sustainable apparel, footwear, and textiles? Use the Higg Index! Learn from pros at ALDO Shoes and MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op) about the Higg Product Tools. Developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, the Higg Index is a suite of tools that enables brands, retailers, and facilities of all sizes — at every stage in their sustainability journey — to accurately measure and score a company or product’s sustainability performance. The Higg Index delivers a holistic overview that empowers businesses to make meaningful improvements that protect the well-being of factory workers, local communities, and the environment. The Higg Index Product Tools are ideal for fashion designers and product developers. The Higg Index Product Tools can be applied during a product’s design phase to understand its predicted environmental impact. They can also be used upon a product’s completion for a more accurate impact calculation. Higg Product Tools offer brands, retailers, and manufacturers information to make better choices at every stage of a product’s development. Learn more at: https://apparelcoalition.org
