Sustainability

The Higg Index is a suite of tools for the standardized measurement of value chain sustainability. Recover™ assesses the social and environmental performance of the value chain and the environmental impacts of products through the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (MSI), the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) and Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM).

The Higg FEM is a transformative tool used to assess the environmental impact of product manufacturing at facilities. The Higg FEM paints a clear picture of a facility’s environmental impacts. Every stage of the production process is captured through this tool – from water use to waste management, to chemical and energy use. Higg FEM was conducted in our facilities in Spain.

Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM) was conducted in our facility in Spain. The FSLM tracks management systems, operational controls, oversight and worker and stakeholder engagement. The scoring system is designed to be universal and drive improved social performance in manufacturing facilities worldwide.

Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an international, voluntary standard that set requirements for third-party certification of recycled input and chain of custody. The shared goal of the standards is to increase the use of recycled materials. The GRS includes additional criteria for social and environmental processing requirements and chemical restrictions.

ISO 9001 is a globally recognized standard for quality management. It helps organizations of all sizes and sectors to improve their performance, meet customer expectations and demonstrate their commitment to quality. Its requirements define how to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a quality management system (QMS).

By achieving the certification of ISO 9001 in all our hubs in Spain and Bangladesh, Recover™ demonstrates the effective implementation of a continuous improvement culture that ensures consistently meeting customer expectations.
