Welcome to the programme!
Complete your data collection and reporting needs on Worldly
As C&A transitions to the Facility Data Manager (FDM) in 2026, facilities are required to submit and validate monthly production volume, energy and water* usage data through the year. Use the roll forward feature to accelerate data entry month over month or between the FDM and FEM with a full year of data. Be sure to review your required scope, allocate production volume and share attachments with your brand partners.
Data must be complete, accurate and on-time to meet expectations.
