Inditex withdraws from its offer all products made with fur

22.09.2004

In reply to the concern of a large number of its clients from around the world regarding the use of fur in garments, Inditex has decided to eliminate these products from its offer all over the world.

Already in February 2002 a new corporate policy was adopted, which established that all products of animal origin, including fur and leather, sold by the group would come exclusively from animals raised in food farms, and under no circumstance from animals sacrificed exclusively for the exploitation of their skins. Furthermore, the commitment regarding the humanitarian treatment of animals by all our suppliers was reaffirmed.

Taking another step forward in this policy, Inditex has decided to completely eliminate from its offer all products that include fur as of January 2005, and with immediate effect (as of September 22nd, 2004) this decision is carried out in Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Norway Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia, or in any other country in which new store openings will take place.
