CBX Software, one of the retail industry’s leading providers of supply-chain-management solutions, has partnered with sustainability insights platform Higg to integrate environmental sustainability data directly into the CBX Cloud.
The integration with CBX Software provides customers with critical data they need to meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
The collaboration holds relevance! Environmentally responsible materials are not only vital for the health of the earth, but also increasingly provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and therefore such collaborations help provide a broad range of solutions.
More on the partnership, Michael Hung, CEO of CBX Software, added, “Our partnership with Higg is timely as brands and retailers rapidly improve their practices and report on their progress in meeting ESG standards. Governments and consumers around the world are demanding greater accountability and transparency about how and where products are made.”
The Higg Index is basically a sustainability assessment tool used by brands, retailers and manufacturers around the world to evaluate the environmental and social performance of a company or product. It enables companies to manage areas of influence such as carbon emissions, water consumption, waste production and labour conditions.
