Welcome to the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), a global multi-stakeholder alliance that unites 300 retailers, brands, manufacturers, governments, academics, and nonprofit affiliates across 36 countries. We represent half of the global textile, apparel and footwear industry, united by a singular vision: to create a consumer goods industry that gives more than it takes—both to the planet and its people.
To assist SAC members in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape, the SAC initiated analyses of the Higg Index tools in relation to relevant existing and upcoming EU and national legislation in collaboration with partners and professional consultancies. The summary report presented here provides key messages and main outcomes of the initial analysis, along with the proposed next steps.

We are grateful to KPMG for their work in developing this report, which captures the invaluable insights and recommendations derived from the expert review of the Higg MSI and Higg PM tools. At the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, we are committed to driving positive environmental and social change within the textile, apparel & footwear industry. The Higg Index suite of tools plays a pivotal role in achieving this mission, empowering brands, retailers, and manufacturers to measure, improve, and share their environmental and social performance.
