Worldly Launches Facility Data Manager to Drive Supply Chain Sustainability

Worldly, the leading supply chain sustainability data and insights platform for the consumer goods and apparel industries, has announced the launch of Facility Data Manager (FDM). This new tool is designed to help businesses track their progress towards decarbonization targets and make decisions that drive environmental improvements faster.

As sustainability regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) continue to emerge globally, Facility Data Manager provides brands with timely primary data that aligns with regulatory frameworks. By using FDM, companies can prepare for environmental reporting requirements and ensure they are meeting industry standards.

Aligned with Cascale’s industry standard Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM), Worldly’s Facility Data Manager allows manufacturing facilities to share key impact data with their brand and retail partners. This data includes information on energy, water, waste, and other environmental impacts, submitted by manufacturing facilities on a monthly basis. This level of transparency and collaboration is crucial for assessing risks and opportunities for supply chain improvements and reporting sustainability progress.

Scott Raskin, CEO of Worldly, expressed his excitement about the launch of Facility Data Manager, stating that the tool will provide actionable data and deeper collaboration between manufacturers and brands. By offering insights and transparency into performance, targets, and progress, FDM aims to help companies accelerate their impact across the supply chain.

Manufacturing facilities that complete the annual Higg FEM assessment can import monthly data from FDM into Higg FEM, streamlining the reporting process and avoiding redundancy of work. This integration allows facilities to track their sustainability targets and share progress with their brand and retailer partners, fostering a new level of collaboration and transparency.

The launch of Facility Data Manager has been welcomed by industry leaders, including Cecilia Chan, Chief Commercial Officer of Legend Swimwear Factory Limited, who emphasized the importance of sustainability innovations in deepening collaboration with brands.

Developed in alignment with the Higg FEM tool established by Cascale, Facility Data Manager is set to support the adoption of sustainable practices within the consumer goods industry. Colin Browne, CEO of Cascale, praised the synergistic opportunities provided by FDM, highlighting its potential to drive impact at scale.
