Complete your requirements on Worldly
As part of Nike’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, it is a requirement for their supply chain partners to complete a 2024 Higg Facility Environmental Module(FEM) or Facility Foundations and Higg Facility Social and Labour Module(FSLM), with verification.
This year, Nike requires each facility to purchase FEM 2024 subscription to access the assessments.
Nike is working with Worldly, Cascale’s technology partner, to help facilities complete their assessment(s). Worldly will be sending email communications throughout the reporting period to each facility. These Worldly communications will provide resources and guidance on next steps to ensure facilities are getting the support they need to meet Nike’s completion requirements on time.

Nike is requiring their suppliers to complete the FEM 2024 self assessment this year. If you do not have a Worldly account please take the first step and register for the platform. Once you have an account please purchase FEM 2024 by December 31st, 2024.

The final deadline for completing and posting your FEM 2023 is 31st December 2023. You will need to post your FEM 2023 and then buy a new subscription for the latest 2024 assessments.
