Lycra celebrates Foshan’s Higg score
Higg FEM determines the Foshan site’s environmental impact, standardises how environmental performance is measured and prioritises improvements.
The verification included a three-day process that required months of preparation according to Choon Hueei Beck, Foshan plant manager.
“Thanks to the hard work and dedication of a cross-functional team in Foshan and other locations, we now have a blueprint to repeat this successful result at other facilities, all of which have completed self-certification,” he said.
The manufacturing site opened in 2005 and products include Gold Level Material Health fibres certified by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.
Higg FEM is part of a suite of tools developed by the non-profit Sustainable Apparel Coalition.
