Higg Index: measuring our environmental footprint

The Higg Index is a set of assessment tools that measures the environmental footprint of textile manufacturing — energy, water, emissions, waste and chemicals — together with how the facility itself is managed. We use it to understand and improve how our mill performs.

Our fibre and product programmes — GOTS, OCS, GRS, Fairtrade, OEKO-TEX, regenagri and the Regenerative Organic Certified programme — certify what we make. The Higg Index complements them by looking at the facility behind the product.
