33 Our brands continue to work towards a vision of a more sustainable future. They do this by shifting towards more responsible materials, avoiding harmful chemicals, and trialling innovative products that reduce some environmental effects. We help our brand teams learn about a products real impact through the Higg Product Module training. This progressive tool assesses a products environmental impacts during its lifetime, looking at its impact from resource extraction, to manufacturing, to what happens to it at the end of its lifecycle. We continued to run training with our brand product teams during the year. We also use the Higg Material Sustainability Index to measure the environmental impact of different materials, including a materials water and carbon footprint.
