Where we are the Higg Index

The Higg Index 1.0 is primarily an indicator based tool for apparel that enables companies to evaluate material types, products, facilities and processes based on a range of environmental and product design choices. 

The Index asks practice-based, qualitative questions togauge environmental sustainability performance and drive behavior for improvement. It is based largely on the Eco Index and Nike s Apparel Environmental Design Tool however it has been significantly enhanced through a pilot testing period. Gap is one of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition s foimding members.
