For 2020, the company will also expand the ecoeficient store model to all of its brands, and hopes that 25% of its clothing will be Join Life, a collection that distinguished garments made with sustainable materials.

 

 

 

 

The objectives for that fiscal year also include that 100% of its designer have education in circularity and that plastic bag are removed from all of the brands of the group. By 2023, the company expects to be zero waste. Finally, before 2025 the company expects to use 100% recycled polyester, 100% sustainable linen and 100% organic, BCI or recycled cotton.

 

Inditex has also created a special committee in its board of directors to monitor is sustainability goals, and has linked its new long-term incentive plan for members of management to a sustainability index.

 

The bonus is linked to profit before taxes growth (30%), same-store sales growth (30%, relative total shareholders return (30%) and the sustainability index (10%), comprised of four indicators that range from percentage of factories that meet Inditex standards to percentage of waste reduction.
