Statement describes consultation that took place within the Inditex Group, which comprises Inditex (the parent company) and its subsidiaries. Zara is a subsidiary entity of Inditex S.A.
Steps taken to consult with entities owned and/or controlled by Inditex are on pages 2 and 3:
"... as part of the consultation process, the statement issued by the Inditex Group to comply with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act and the Modern Slavery Act UK were reviewed by the Company to determine the possibility of a joint statement.
A Microsoft teams work group was established to work on the project. The Modern Slavery Act
(2018) and requirements for Australia were summarised and provided to the broader Inditex
Group team addressing modern slavery. There were meetings conducted within the group to
discuss the different requirements and how they would be addressed.
The draft Group Modern Slavery Statement was prepared at a corporate level given that,
among other things, the structure, operations and supply chains for the Company (Group Zara Australia) are identical to and accord with those of the Inditex Group."
