THE DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT OF OUR STORES IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. OUR ECO-EFFICIENT STORES SAVE UP TO 20 % ENERGY AND 40% WATER.

Etiquetamos bajo el nombre Join Life las prendas que se producen utilizando los mejores procesos y las materias primas más sostenibles, como algodón ecológico, Tencel TM o poliéster reciclado.

We collaborate with the NGO Canopy Planet and with other companies in the textile sector to ensure that ancient and protected forests are respected during the production of wood-derived fibres such as rayon and viscose. By 2020, our products will not contain fibres from ancient or endangered forests.

We are committed to reaching the goal of Zero Discharge of Undesirable Substances (the ZDHC commitment) in the manufacturing of our products in 2020.

To ensure that our products are safe, healthy and environmentally sustainable, we have created new health standards, made progress in production-improvement programmes and increased the number of controlled substances included in The List, by Inditex, a pioneering programme in the textile and leather industry that was launched by Inditex in 2013 to classify and improve chemical products used in the manufacturing process.

We have also increased the number of environmental assessments for our suppliers with the Green to Wear standard, as well as the number of manufacturers that follow the best practices listed in the Ready to ManufactureCode. They have enabled us to foster good manufacturing practices and encourage that resources are used efficiently and that waste is managed correctly.

THERE ARE COLLECTION POINTS FOR THE CLOTHING COLLECTION SCHEME IN ALL OUR STORES ACROSS THE WORLD. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE FURTHERING THE PROGRAMME, BY SELECTING CLOTHING TO BE REUSED OR RECYCLED FOR SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PURPOSES, IN COLLABORATION WITH NON-PROFIT ORGANISATIONS.

Our goal is to promote the reuse and recycling of garments when they reach the end of their life cycle. We are providing circular design training to our design teams so that in the future, our clothing can be easily recycled and transformed into new garments, in accordance with our commitment to the Global Fashion Agenda.
