Sustainable management of the supply chain

Identifying and getting to know all the participants involved in the production of a garment released by Inditex is the first step towards the effective development of policies and activities related to the sustainable management of the supply chain.

At Inditex, this commitment to traceability is expressed through three key concepts:

  • Management of information: We have a common IT tool, internally designed ad hoc by our teams, that allows us to share information on the supply chain in real time.
  • Monitoring: The various types of audits enable us to continuously monitor our supply chain, and to optimise it. It is worth highlighting the specific traceability audits that we perform. These are aimed at verifying and monitoring the supply chain to ensure that all production units have been declared and approved.
  • Continuous improvement and sustainability: Our Sustainability Department works directly and continually with purchasing teams and with suppliers who receive training on best practices. (enlace a ./cadena-suministro/formacion)
