Higg Index FEM 3.0 - Chemical Mgt Section
Between 2013-2015, with the increasing concern on
chemical management in textile industry, 3 organizations
released tools to help facilities for improvements.
(OIA) Chemical
Management Module The ZDHC Audit
Protocol 2.0 Sustainable Apparel
Coalition – FEM 2.0
