Energy is used throughout manufacturing facilities for various operational and production activities. The Higg FEM requires that facilities track and report energy use data for the energy sources listed below, which are grouped into three categories (Purchased, Renewable, and Non-Renewable Energy).
Additional requirements on reporting energy data in the Higg FEM including any specific exclusions are provided in the relevant Higg FEM question guidance below.
