Worldly is a subscription-based software platform.
Users choose from subscriptions designed for their type of business: for instance a facility/manufacturer, or a brand/retailer.
Subscriptions include access to specific assessment tools and related features, as well as the ability to share data with other platform users. Subscriptions last for a single annual reporting cycle.
When you are ready to purchase, log in to your account at app.worldly.io.
Facility Subscription Plans
Worldly’s facility subscriptions meet facilities where they are in their sustainability journey and provide them with everything they need for a reporting period, available for a single annual fee. Instead of purchasing individual modules, multiple assessments, and verification services throughout the year, facility users can now purchase a year’s worth of tools at once.
FEM2023 Plan
Get a complete look at your environmental impact, to support buyer requirements. Includes:
- Higg Index Facility Environmental Module 4.0 (FEM) or Higg Index FEM Foundations
- Verification enabled
- Benchmarking
Note:
- FEM 2023 subscription plan is for facilities who plan to report their environment impact data for 2023 cadence (Jan 1 2023 – Dec 31 2023). Facilities can either choose to complete Facility Environment Module (FEM) 2023 or FEM Foundations.
- FEM Foundations is an introductory environmental assessment for new facilities who have never completed a FEM full assessment before.
- FEM 2023 is for existing facilities to measure their environmental impacts.
- The Benchmarking feature is also included, for facilities who want to compare their FEM performance with their peers on our platform.
New facilities will be able to choose to complete the FEM or FEM Foundations on their FEM dashboard page. But if you are an existing facility user who completed FEM before, you won’t be able to choose the FEM Foundations.
Facility Social and Labor
Get a complete look at your social and labor impact, to support buyer requirements. Includes:
- Higg Index Facility Social and Labor Module (FSLM)
- Verification enabled
- Benchmarking
Note:
- FSLM subscription plan is for facilities who plan to complete the Facility Social Labor Module (FSLM) and report their social labor impact data for the recent 12 months.
- Same as the FEM plan, the verification module is included. Once facilities complete their self-assessment, they can start the verification process.
- The Benchmarking feature is also included, for facilities who want to compare their FSLM performance with others on our platform.
Standard with FEM 2023+FSLM
Understand your entire impact – across environmental and social – with features for sharing data, comparing performance to benchmarks, and exporting for deeper analysis. Includes:
- Factory data tool
- Higg Index Facility Environmental Module (FEM) OR Higg Index Facility Foundations
- Higg Index Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM)
- Verification enabled
- Benchmarking
Note:
- The subscription plan of Standard with FEM 2023 + FSLM includes all those 3 plans of assessments and features we previously introduced. It has everything and it is the best value package.
Standard plan
The standard subscription plan includes the Factory Data tool, a new tool developed by Worldly. The manufacturers will be able to upload their utility bill as they receive it, fill into this tool, and share data in real time with the brands.
**Purchasing the single vFEM 2022 (if you purchased the self-assessment FEM 2022 before May 16 2023）
You can go to your FEM dashboard page to purchase the single vFEM 2022 if you purchased the FEM 2022 before May 16 2023.
Verification
The Higg FEM is a robust self-assessment for manufacturers. Facilities have always been able to pay for verification of their self-assessment, which required an additional $300 program fee. Prior to May 2023, this fee was collected on Worldly, and passed to the SAC who manages the program.
Worldly and SAC heard this was confusing for some customers. In order to streamline checkout and provide more transparency, this fee will now be collected by the verifying body. The amount of the fee remains unchanged at $300 USD.
For facilities, this will simplify the checkout process. Your Higg FEM will be automatically enabled for verification so you can easily share your data with verification bodies – it’s simply a matter of choosing an organization and working directly with them.
We also hope that this encourages more businesses to verify their data, since this no longer requires a separate purchase and is now automated by verification bodies. This change also allows us to be clearer and more transparent about what’s included in your Higg FEM subscription. Any future changes to Worldly costs will be related to additional functionality and features.
Verification-Enabled
You will see that the FEM 2023, FSLM, and Standard Plus FEM 2023 + FSLM packages are verification enabled. This means facilities assessments will be easily available on Worldly to the facilities chosen verification body – ensuring a streamlined review process.
Additionally, the SAC has updated their verification scope to be more targeted to the foundational environmental performance and essential quantitative areas in the Higg FEM, ensuring a faster and more efficient verification process.
Purchasing for others
On Worldly, you can purchase a subscription plan(s) for other accounts. On the subscription page, you can choose “Purchase for Others.”
Select the subscription, for example FEM2023 and then continue to select the accounts for whom you wish to purchase.
Options to add more Tools. Once you have selected a subscription, you can add more tools to your basket.
FLSM Transfer
Transferring Your SLCP Verification Data from Other Accredit Hosts
On the Worldly platform, you can transfer your SLCP verification data from other accredited hosts (e.g., FFC, Better Work) so you can share your SLCP verification data (FSLM verification module) with your brands on the Worldly platform.
On the subscription plan page, you will be able to pay for the transition and view the process of data transferring. To transfer the verification data, you must have a Worldly account registered on our platform.
Platform Subscriptions
Our subscriptions provide your business with tools, resources, and support – to help you at any point on your sustainability journey.
Basic
Basic access is open to all types of users. It is a great option for users starting their sustainability journey, and only contributing data to the platform or purchasing individual a la carte tools.
With Basic access, you may purchase a single or a combination of tools from the below list:
- Higg FEM
- Higg FSLM
- Higg BRM
- Receive shared modules
- Basic MSI access with 5 units

For users who are at the basic account level, if you need to review a facility’s shared FEM or FSLM data or a brand’s shared BRM data, you will also need to pay to receive each shared assessment.
For verifiers. Verifier Bodies that are not an SAC member (all SAC members are provided with an All Access subscription to the Worldly platform) will need to pay to receive each shared assessment so you can start and complete the verification process. Scroll further to learn more about available subscription plans for you. If you choose not to purchase a subscription, you can purchase shared assessments individually and pay per share.
For more information on the Verification Program and costs for verifying bodies, please see this page.

API Integration Options
APIs Overview
With Worldly API access, users can integrate platform data into their internal systems (whether custom solutions or third-party software).
We offer APIs for our facility assessment data as well as our materials sustainability index, to enable your designers, managers, and sustainability teams to easily make more informed decisions.
Materials API
With the materials API, your designers and sustainability stakeholders can choose from over 200+ raw materials in the MSI, with material impacts values automatically sent to your Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems:
- Global Warming
- Water Scarcity
- Fossil Fuel Depletion
- Water Consumption
- Biogenic Carbon
Assessments API
For brands managing larger amounts of data, our API allows you to configure automated flows into your supplier management system – from assessment tools including FEM, FSLM, and BRM.
Compared to working with individual CSVs and manual integration, this can be a tremendous time saver for certain brands.
Where can I view available integrations?
Navigate to ‘Account Profile’ by clicking your account name in the top right corner on the Worldly platform. Then go to the ‘Integrations’ tab. Here you will find the overview of available integrations: both for Assessments (FEM and/or FSLM) and for the Product Tools (MSI).
