Spain

Inditex has its origins in Spain, which is why it collaborates so closely with stakeholders in this country. The cluster in Spain lends momentum to the company's interaction with the range of players involved in the supply chain in a country that lies so close to its heart.

Apart from the constant supervision and support for compliance with the Code of Conduct for Manufacturers and Suppliers carried out by Inditex's commercial and CSR teams, during 2012 a specific programme was set up for verification and traceability of production that will gradually be extended to the other clusters in 2013.

The following activities carried out by the Spanish cluster in 2012 are also worth highlighting:

• 45 social audits
• 4 competence visits directed at ensuring compliance with the Code of Conduct for Manufacturers and Suppliers
• CSR training imparted to suppliers, manufacturers and purchasing teams as well as to other departments

More information about the clusters can be found in the Sustainability Balance Sheet.
