Frequently asked questions
Do you verify SLCP or Higg assessments?
No. Verification is carried out by approved Verifier Bodies. We help you complete and evidence the assessment.
What is the difference between SLCP and Higg FSLM?
SLCP provides the social and labour data collection framework. Higg FSLM is the module through which that data is shared on the Higg platform.
Why does verification fail?
Most often because answers do not match the evidence on site. The pre-verification review catches this.
Does Higg FEM cover emissions?
Yes. FEM covers environmental management, including energy and emissions, water, wastewater, air emissions, waste and chemicals.
