Higg Brand & Retail Module (BRM)

Consumers are increasingly curious about where and how their clothes are made. They often vote with their wallets or purses and buy products from companies that reflect their values.

Any organization can use the Higg BRM to measure its environmental and social impacts and practices. Developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), the Higg BRM is a trusted assessment that helps brands and retailers establish and maintain strong environmental, social and labor practices within their organizations and across their value chains.
