Driving decarbonisation of the supply chain
Inditex is a fashion and lifestyle business that owns seven brands – Zara, Pull & Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho and Zara Home. Its 2024 Sustainability Report is detailed and lengthy, with forewords by both its Chairperson and its CEO.
Oscar Garcia Maceiras, CEO, says the directions the fashion world will take are“ difficult to predict”, but the company’ s results are“ very positive”.
He highlights how Inditex made progress in the use of lower impact and recycled fibres and tightened its ties with promising startups specialising in nextgeneration fibres.
Arguably the most crucial aspect of the report is its focus on Inditex’ s Supply Chain Transformation Plan, launched in 2023.
Oscar says:“ We are leveraging that plan to support and advise our suppliers and manufacturers so that they can meet more ambitious requirements around water management, chemical substances, waste and emissions.
As a result of this and other initiatives, we made further progress towards a low-carbon economy.”
“We made important strides in the use of lower impact and recycled fibres, with the latter already accounting for more than one-third of the textile materials we use”
