Social Risk & Environmental Baseline Dashboards in Insights Hub
You can now track your Higg FEM Level 1 performance and more via the new Environmental Baseline dashboard in Insights Hub! Ensure you are completing the fundamental requirements of permit attainment, EMS implementation, and source tracking. Identify and improve on sections and questions in FEM2025. And with data on additional assessments/audits, you can establish more effective dialogue with your buyers.
The new Social Risk Dashboard - coming soon in mid-September - gives you a clear, consolidated view of your facility’s Higg Index FSLM results all in one place. This dashboard makes it easier to understand your own risk profile, track your progress over time, and focus your improvement efforts where they will have the most impact.
With the new dashboard, you can:
Filter and Hotspot Summary – Focus on specific themes or issues flagged in your facility’s FSLM results, and see which areas may need more attention.
Red Flag Trends – Track how your flagged issues change over time so you can measure the impact of corrective actions.
Key Metrics at a Glance – Quickly see your total zero-tolerance and legal compliance flags.
Prevalence Insights – Understand the percentage of your FSLM indicators flagged in key areas like recruitment & hiring, health & safety, termination, wages & benefits, working hours, and worker treatment.
