SAN FRANCISCO – Impact intelligence platform Worldly, formerly known as Higg Co, has acquired the assets of the NGO Fair Factories Clearinghouse (FFC), which builds scalable software that facilitates continuous improvements in social, environmental and security issues.
Worldly says the FFC social and labour assessments complement the Higg Facility Social & Labour Module (FSLM) and gives manufacturers, brands, and retailers a more robust, cost-effective and integrated supply chain solution.
FFC was founded in 2004 with the financial support of the U.S. Department of State, National Retail Federation (NRF), Retail Council of Canada (RCC) and World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI).
