According to the FEM HowtoHigg Guide:
“One (1) Higg FEM is required for each legal business entity, as defined by the applicable business license or operating permit, except in the following circumstance:
- If multiple manufacturing units (facilities) are located on the same premises and operate under different business licenses, but are fully owned and operated by a single legal business entity, then one (1) FEM can be completed for all these facilities.”
How to Apply This in the Worldly Platform:
From the facility account in the Worldly platform, users must decide on one Business License Name (e.g., the Parent Company Name) to represent all their separate organizations under the same parent entity. This selected name will serve as the identifier for their Worldly account. Within the Site Info and Permit section, under Permits of the Higg FEM module, users should report all relevant business licenses.
Optional Approach:
In such cases, where users are eligible to complete a single FEM, they also have the option to submit separate Higg FEMs for each facility if they prefer. The decision to complete one FEM or multiple FEMs is entirely at their discretion.
