Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM)
- Navigate to the Higg FEM and click into your module.
- Click Certificate on the left hand side under Downloads.
- If the assessment is self-completed, that will download a zip of the ASC certificate. Share this with your vendor or brand partners when asked to confirm completion of the self-assessment.
- If the assessment is verified, that will download a zip file containing both ASC and VRF certificates (pictured above and below).
Higg Facility Social and Labor Module (FSLM)
- Navigate to the Higg FSLM and click into your module.
- Click Certificate on the left hand side under Downloads.
- If the assessment is self-completed, that will download a zip of the ASC certificate. Share this with your vendor or brand partners when asked to confirm completion of the self-assessment.
- If the assessment is verified, that will download a zip file containing both ASC and VRF certificates (pictured above and below).
When does my Certificate expire?
As shown above in the certificate examples, the year of the assessment is shown on the certificate, so they are valid indefinitely since they only relate to the year mentioned in the certificate.
- For example, both certificates above are from 2024, so the certificates are valid indefinitely since they are only related to 2024.
Certificates don't expire, however, once the next year's assessment is completed, the facility should complete assessments and get new certificates for that particular cadence.
- For example, FEM 2025 certificates issued in CY 2026 do not mean that the FEM 2024 certificates issued in CY 2025 are now invalid and/or expired.
Why does the Certificate have "Higg Index" instead of "Worldly"?
Worldly, formerly known as Higg Co, is the software company exclusively licensing the Higg Index. The Higg Index comprises sustainability impact measurement tools, including FEM, FSLM, and BRM. The name on completion certificates reflects the association with the broader Higg Suite of tools.
