Worldly FDM

Aims


Worldly Facility Data Manager (FDM) Validation is a sustainability data-management and Validation solution that empowers manufacturers, brands, and retailers with clear insight into their environmental performance. The aim of the Worldly FDM is to help facilities understand strengths and weaknesses in key environmental metrics, streamline sustainability reporting, and support continuous improvement across operations.

The FDM Validation process ensures your environmental data is accurate, consistent, and ready to use for Higg FEM reporting or additional brand and certification requirements. Worldly FDM Validation can also be conducted more frequently throughout the reporting year, allowing facilities to keep data up to date and track progress in real time.

IDFL offers bundled FDM + FEM Validation services for facilities seeking a fully aligned environmental reporting and Validation experience.

Scope

Worldly FDM Validation is not a pass-or-fail assessment. Instead, it Validates the environmental data that facilities enter into the Worldly FDM platform, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and proper documentation.

The scope of Worldly FDM includes all onsite facilities, processes, equipment, and relevant operational areas that contribute to your environmental footprint. FDM Validation supports facilities in creating a centralized and reliable data foundation that can be leveraged for Higg FEM submissions or other reporting needs.

Requirements

Worldly FDM collects and organizes environmental data across the same core impact categories found in the Higg FEM, including:

  • Environmental Management System (EMS)
  • Energy
  • Water
  • Wastewater
  • Air Emissions
  • Waste
  • Chemical Management

Facilities can use Worldly FDM to simplify data collection, maintain year-round data accuracy, and support reporting for Higg FEM or additional sustainability programs. Once Validation is complete, facilities may choose to share or benchmark their results through the Worldly platform.
