A preparation timeline, not a one-off task
Higg FEM preparation is strongest when environmental data is collected consistently throughout the year. This guide shows a practical review sequence before submission or verification.
Collect environmental records
Gather utility bills, fuel records, water data, wastewater reports, waste records, production data and supporting evidence.
Confirm reporting boundary
Check facility scope, operating months, reporting period, production processes and any excluded areas before finalising data.
Review calculations and evidence
Check units, conversion factors, monthly totals, abnormal changes and whether every claim is supported by clear evidence.
Validate internally
Review key answers with responsible management teams and confirm that evidence can be explained clearly if needed.
Keep evidence organised
Maintain a structured file by module: EMS, energy, water, wastewater, air, waste and chemicals.
Turn findings into improvement actions
Use assessment results to create a practical improvement plan, not just a completed questionnaire.
