[Completing the Cycle](https://support.worldly.io/higg-facility-environmental-module-fem?hsLang=en#completing-the-cycle) # Higg FEM Verification Process Verification confirms that you complete all parts of the Higg FEM accurately. Your self-assessment gains the credibility and accuracy you need to share it publicly. A Cascale-approved verifier conducts the verification of your Higg FEM self-assessment. The verifying body selects and hires a specific verifier to review your facility site. The verifier is the only person responsible for confirming that your assessment is accurate. ### How to Prepare for and Complete Higg FEM Verification **Note** Contact the verifying body directly to confirm the timing and terms of verification. This conversation happens outside of the Worldly platform. You arrange these details directly with your verifier. - View the list of Higg FEM Verifiers [HERE](https://www.sumerra.com/programs/sac/sac-fem-verification-program/sac-verifier-body-list/). - You must fully complete your Higg FEM self-assessment (reach 100% completion) and post it before verification can begin. 1. In the top navigation, click **Supply Chain \> Higg FEM**. 2. On the Overview tab, under *Actions*, click **Select Verifying Body**. 3. Use the search bar to locate your verifying body. 4. Click **Select**. - A pop-up box appears. 5. Click **Yes** to confirm. 6. The system redirects you to the Higg FEM Dashboard. The verifying body receives a notification. Once they accept your request, they assign a specific verifier to conduct the verification. The verifier contacts you directly with further instructions. - You can see the verifying body name and the status of your request on the dashboard. - Under Contact, the dashboard shows Waiting for verifier assignment until the verifying body assigns the verifier point of contact. - The status changes to Accepted once the verifying body accepts your request. - The Contact field changes to show the verifier’s name once the verifying body assigns them. - You can track your verification progress using the status loading bar on the dashboard. ![](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/2026-11-10_08-32-46%20(1)-gif.gif?width=670&height=298&name=2026-11-10_08-32-46%20(1)-gif.gif) 7.
