pg. 105,137 Annual Report - 2018

Our Code of Conduct states that all workers in factories must receive a living wage, understood as adequate remuneration that allows workers to cover their basic needs and the needs of their families. Its effective compliance is one of the main challenges facing the textiles industry. At Inditex we are committed to achieving this ambitious goal through a strategy structured around five priority areas. This strategy impacts the whole supply chain, although certain actions are targeted at particular countries we have identified as a priority.

The promotion of mature industrial relations, the achievement of living wages and fostering responsible purchasing practices are some of the collaborative lines of work being implemented in the sector.
