Industry - "Raw materials are the farthest link in the textile supply chain and the production process differs for each one, be it synthetic or natural. Workers in this sector therefore experience a different reality to workers in the factories of finished goods" (page 19)

 

Resource - "Inditex signed a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with the ILO in 2017 to promote the wellbeing of workers involved in the production of raw materials, in particular of cotton. The PPP seeks to promote the fundamental labour principles and rights in cotton-producing communities and contributes to the sustainability of the supply chain of this raw material." (page 19)

 

Workforce - "In particular, special attention is paid to migrants and refugees, as the most potentially vulnerable groups with regards potential abuses." (page 16)
