Sourcemap Selected for Next Generation Higg Index

….. » At Sourcemap, we believe that consumers have the right to know the social and environmental impact of products. That’s why we’re thrilled to have been selected as the new Higg Index platform, the leading suite of tools for measuring social and environmental sustainability across the apparel, footwear and textile industries.
