Ok kiddo, have you ever heard of something called a higg? It's not actually a thing or an animal, but it's a way of measuring how environmentally friendly and sustainable something is. This is really important because it helps us make better choices when we buy things like clothes.
Now, let me explain how the Higg Index works. Imagine you have a toy box with lots of toys inside. You want to organize your toys into categories so it's easy to find what you're looking for. This is what the Higg Index does for clothing and other products. It puts them into categories based on how sustainable they are.
There are three main categories in the Higg Index: environmental, social, and governance. Environmental means how much impact the product has on the planet. Social means how the people who make the product are treated, like if they are paid a fair wage and work safely. Governance means how the company follows rules and regulations, like monitoring water pollution.
Companies can use the Higg Index to see where they need to improve and how to make their products more sustainable. That way, when we buy clothes or other things, we can choose ones that are better for the environment and people who make them.
And there you have it, a Higg Index is a way to measure how environmentally friendly and sustainable products are, so we can make better choices when we buy them.
