The Inditex Environmental Policy
We consider that the implementation of Inditex’s activity should integrate a set of sustainable development criteria, to ensure the proper management of resources and protection of the environment, and which meet society’s requirements.
To implement them, we undertake to meet and enforce the following principles, which are the basis of our environmental policy:

- 2- We undertake to comply with the environmental regulations that apply to our activities, as well as any other obligations laid down. We will endeavour to prevent pollution and reduce the environmental impact of our activities to the minimum.
- 3- We work towards continuously improving our Management System, thereby increasing its efficiency and ensuring a more efficient consumption of resources.
- 4- We undertake to inform all of our employees and society about this policy establishing a fluid communication with the authorities, local communities and agencies.
