About this report
Our Annual Report has been conceived as an Integrated Report, in order to inform our stakeholders of how Inditex creates value in the short, mid and long-term. With the aim of conveying this information in a transparent, truthful, relevant and detailed way, we include the best practices in reporting and complement this information in our corporate webpage: www.inditex.com .
This Annual Report has been drafted based on the principles of the United Nations Global Compaq and the guidelines and principles of the G4 Global Reporting Initiative and the International Framework as well as those principles standards included in AA1000 APS (2008) norm for Accountability. According to these criteria, the report presents all the issues that have an economic, social and environmental impact relevant to Inditex, since they can substantially influence the evaluation and decision making of stakeholders. These issues are identified and evaluated from a materiality process that involves the main stakeholders.
