SAC to drop Higg MSI single score

SAN FRANCISCO – The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) will ditch the aggregated single score used by the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (MSI) in January 2021 as it shifts its focus from raw material to product level environmental impacts.

Instead, MSI users will be able to use the five individual impact area scores in the newly Higg Product Module (Higg PM) to determine the environmental credentials of their products.
