Cascale prepares foundational module launch

YORK – Cascale will launch a standalone Foundational Environmental Performance (FEP) module in November, establishing a common baseline for factory environmental management without requiring its brand and retailer members to replace their own supplier questionnaires.

“‘Industry alignment’ refers to how the baseline was defined,” said Maravillas Rodriguez-Zarco, Cascale’s vice-president of tools and data. “Adoption is the next stage, and we’re not yet in a position to report on it.”
