Cascale 召集了行业利益相关者，包括世界资源研究所 (WRI), 世界自然基金会 (WWF) 和 ZDHC，制定了基础环境绩效 (FEP) 的共同定义，以确保消费品供应链的一致性。
Cascale has convened industry stakeholders including World Resources Institute (WRI), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and ZDHC to establish a shared definition of Foundational Environmental Performance (FEP) for consistency across consumer goods supply chains.
Cascale的 倡议旨在为全球供应链的环境合规实践创建共享基线，以提高一致性, 加强数据可比性, 支持法律合规性并降低环境风险。
Cascale的 initiative aims to create a shared baseline for environmental compliance practices across global supply chains to improve consistency, strengthen data comparability, support legal compliance and reduce environmental risks.
The framework was developed through engagement with 80 stakeholders across more than 30 organisations spanning manufacturers, suppliers, brands, retailers, NGOs and technical experts.

Cascale said the framework was developed to address the lack of a unified industry definition around baseline environmental performance expectations for manufacturing facilities.
该组织认为，随着对环境实践的审查不断加强，缺乏一致性给品牌, 制造商和供应商带来了声誉, 监管和信誉风险。
The organisation argued that the absence of alignment had created reputational, regulatory and credibility risks for brands, manufacturers and suppliers as scrutiny over environmental practices continues to increase.
“For years, facilities and brands shared the same frustration: too many frameworks and not enough clarity on what actually matters,” said Maravillas Rodriguez Zarco, vice president of tools and data at Cascale.
“基础环境绩效通过提供明确的,全球统一的环境管理基线来满足这一需求，该基线可以帮助设施将资源集中在最重要的地方。 Aligning manufacturers, brands, NGOs, and technical experts required two years of difficult conversations, and FEP is the result: The industry now has a clear, shared reference point that supports both compliance and continuous improvement at scale.”
“Foundational Environmental Performance answers that need by delivering a clear, globally aligned baseline for environmental management that can help facilities focus resources where they matter most. Aligning manufacturers, brands, NGOs, and technical experts required two years of difficult conversations, and FEP is the result: The industry now has a clear, shared reference point that supports both compliance and continuous improvement at scale.”
The initiative also introduces a set of foundational questions intended to establish credible environmental performance standards across key impact areas.卡斯卡尔表示，这些问题的设计目的是为了让不同成熟度和容量水平的设施保持实用性。
The initiative also introduces a set of foundational questions intended to establish credible environmental performance standards across key impact areas. Cascale said the questions were designed to remain practical for facilities operating at different levels of maturity and capacity.
Nikki Wood, director of governance and stakeholder engagement at Cascale, added: “The development of Foundational Environmental Performance reflects the power of collaboration. This milestone demonstrates what is possible when manufacturers, brands, NGOs and technical experts come together around a shared goal of improving environmental outcomes across global supply chains.”
该组织补充说，该框架与现有的行业举措, 保持一致，包括 ZDHC的 零供应商计划和通过 Worldly 可持续发展平台实施的 Higg 设施环境模块,。
The organisation added that the framework aligns with existing industry initiatives, including ZDHC的 Supplier to Zero programme and the Higg Facility Environmental Module, which is implemented through the Worldly sustainability platform.
Eliot Metzger, WRI, 可持续业务和创新总监表示，一致的定义对于支持“ 可信的环境行动” 是必要的。
Eliot Metzger, director of sustainable business and innovation at WRI, said consistent definitions were necessary to support “credible environmental action”.
“By aligning stakeholders around a shared framework for Foundational Environmental Performance, the industry can improve comparability, strengthen decision-making, and unlock more effective strategies to manage environmental risks across value chains,” he explained.
WWF global textiles lead Payal Luthra added that the initiative could help establish a “minimum standard” across facilities to prevent environmental harm and reduce cumulative impacts throughout supply chains.
该组织指出，FEP 问题集现在将由其技术咨询委员会 (TAC) 直接管理，以保持与监管发展, 行业标准和利益相关者期望保持一致。
The organisation noted the FEP question set will now be governed directly by its Technical Advisory Council (TAC) to maintain alignment with regulatory developments, industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
