Higg FEM Verification

Home Services Higg FEM Verification
In an era where environmental transparency is paramount, the Higg Index—specifically the Facility Environmental Module (FEM)—has become the global standard for measuring sustainability. However, a self-assessment only carries weight when it is backed by credible data.
At BCI Compliance, we provide expert verification services to ensure your Higg FEM self-assessment is accurate, credible, and ready for public disclosure.

1. What is FEM Verification?

Verification is the essential process of ensuring that a facility has accurately completed all sections of the Higg FEM. It provides the credibility and accuracy required to share your performance data with business partners and the public.
This process is conducted by a Cascale-approved verifier (second- or third-party). The verifier is an independent professional hired to review a facility site and is the only individual responsible for validating the accuracy of the assessment.

2. Types of FEM Verification

Onsite Verification: The verifier visits the facility premises in person. This is mandatory for facilities that wish to publicly communicate their Higg Index scores.

Offsite Verification: The verifier conducts the review without traveling to the site, utilizing digital means such as email, photographic evidence, and web conferences.
