HIGG
GRITTI VIETNAM CO., LTD strives to ensure that all products are manufactured in a responsible and ethical manner.
To help us meet these commitments, we use the HIGG Facility Tools. These tools measure an individual factory’s social & environmental performance and are made up of two modules:

- Wastewater
- Emissions to air
- Waste management
- Chemical use and management
b. Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (Higg FSLM)
The Higg FSLM assesses the social and labor conditions present in a facility and the effectiveness of social management programs. The Facility Social & Labor Module measures:
- Recruitment and hiring
- Working hours

- Health and safety
