New Strategic Bet: Innovate in terms of Sustainability
Inditex has a global environmental system, which is solid, efficient and capable of adapting itself to the needs of our rate of growth and the new requirements and advances in environmental issues. Nowadays, the developed plans guarantee the full integration of the environmental variable in all of our operations.
The structure of this management system is the result of the environmental actions developed during the last few years. We have various complementary management tools available that allow us to guarantee the environmental control of our operations.
With the said tools, we have adapted the offices of our chains, logistics centres and factories to the ISO 14001 standard. We have also been able to achieve, update and assess the environmental regulations if the protocols followed in emergency scenarios, the waste manager control protocols, the environmental commitments of our suppliers, the Environmental Training Plan, the ecoefficient criteria in new industrial projects (logistics centres, offices, etc.), the environmental control of products (OEKOTEX), the Package and Packaging Minimisation Plan and the Environmental Indicator System.
We are aware of the current success of the environmental management system and the actions if the PEMA 2002-2005 which would not have been possible without the dedication of all the company’s personnel. The implication of all workers of Inditex, as well as our suppliers, with the environmental commitment of the company has been vital to achieve this.
The lessons learnt and results obtained over the last few financial years served as the basis for defining the main aim of the Strategic Environmental Plan 2007-2010:
- To create innovative projects that implant the concept of sustainability in each and every one of the activities carried out by the company.
