In a breakthrough for sustainability in fashion, GreenStitch, a pioneer in AI-driven solutions for the textile industry, has launched the Higg FEM AI Gap Analyser—a first-of-its-kind free tool designed to help manufacturers rapidly boost their Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) scores without relying on consultants.
As Higg FEM becomes the global gold standard for measuring facility-level sustainability, many fashion manufacturers struggle with its complexity, receiving unclear scores and vague feedback. GreenStitch’s tool aims to transform confusion into actionable insights. By simply uploading their Higg FEM report, users receive an instant AI-powered diagnosis identifying score gaps, missed criteria, and targeted improvement suggestions—along with the predicted score increase for each fix.
“The 25% tariff by the U.S. comes as a temporary setback, especially when expectations were set around 15–20%. While it might lead to a slowdown in the short term, we believe it’s not a long-lasting disruption,” said Mr. Rajeev Gupta, Joint Managing Director of RSWM Ltd.
Mr. Narendra Makwana, Co-founder and CEO of GreenStitch, explained the urgency behind the innovation:
“Factories today are under growing pressure from brands and regulators to prove their sustainability claims, but they often lack the time, tools, or expertise to act on vague audit feedback. Our AI agent flips the model as it doesn’t just diagnose problems, it shows the exact fix and what it’s worth. This is about moving from compliance confusion to instant clarity.”
Unlike conventional consulting methods, the Higg AI Gap Analyser is fully automated, aligned with Higg Index v4.0, and built to fit seamlessly into manufacturers’ existing workflows. It also supports compliance with broader frameworks such as ZDHC, CDP, SBTi, and the EU CSRD, by enhancing critical reporting areas like carbon emissions, water usage, energy efficiency, and chemical management.
Early adopters of the tool have already seen marked improvements in audit readiness, deeper visibility into verification gaps, and significant score increases, all without external ESG consultants.
With this launch, GreenStitch reinforces its mission to make sustainability fast, accessible, and frictionless, driving decarbonisation and data transparency across global supply chains.
