Worldly has expanded Facility Data Manager (FDM) capabilities to give your facilities the ability to share and submit the data you need to understand your supply chain environmental impact. See more details below on the new Higg BRM that went live earlier this month and updated FDM features!
Higg Brand & Retail Module (BRM)
The Higg Brand & Retail Module (BRM) is now live!
The Higg Brand & Retail Module (BRM) for reporting on the 2024 year is now available. This year’s update aligns the module’s framework with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which is required by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The BRM features new unscored questions, expanded guidance, and ESRS mapping within the platform, all while ensuring continuity in year-over-year tracking. The Higg BRM empowers businesses to drive sustainable and responsible operations by supporting compliance, internal benchmarking, and long-term strategy development.
The BRM 2024 is now available for purchase, with no additional purchase necessary for users with All Access or Corporate subscriptions.

Facility Data Manager (FDM)
Production volume allocation requirements
Your facility partners are now required to allocate production volume when completing the production allocation form. Previously, facilities could click "allocate later" or leave allocation amounts blank. Facilities first submit their monthly submission (to ASC) before they are taken to the production volume allocation page. On this page, facilities must enter a value for each brand they share submissions with. For most brands, facilities will enter their numeric volume allocation. They may also enter 0 for brands that they did not produce for in that month or for brand partners the facility cannot determine specific production for. (e.g., Tier 2 facilities).
Access shared submission attachments
You can now download and view FDM submission attachments when your facility partners share them with you. When sharing submissions with your account, the facility has a pre-selected option to allow you to download and view the attachments on the submissions. By granting access to attachments, brands can audit the quality of the data and partner with facilities to make any necessary changes before validation begins.
Performance CSV
The new FDM Performance CSV allows you to quickly access the most frequently used data from your facility’s shared FDM submissions. Mirroring the structure of the FEM Performance CSV, the CSV provides you with the best available data for each monthly submission - validated or self-submitted. The CSV includes site information, production volume, common unit values (e.g., MJ for Energy, L for Water) for source usage, and kg CO2e conversions for each shared submission.
