INDITEX RESEARCH WORK
Places where it's produced:
The 3 countries with the largest number of factories of this company are China with
1,866 that employ approximately 406,000 people, Turkey where 1,459 factories
employ almost 78,000 people, followed by Portugal where 1,344 factories and
almost 50,000 employees are located. It is also worth noting Bangladesh where the
factories are massive and 500,000 employees work in just 300, almost 100,000 more
than in China
Places where it's consumed:
The 3 countries with the most numbers of stores in this chain according to the last
count, which was in 2017, are Spain with 1,790 stores, followed by China and Russia
with 620 and 541 respectively. As of today, the difference will be quite less since in
2017 54 and 56 were built respectively in these countries and the consumption of the
brand continued to grow while in Spain it decreased with 40 stores less that year
Route between places of origin, production and consumption:
When a zara employee requests a refill it only takes one hour for the group
headquarters to analyze the order and process it to the logistics area in 2 hours,
there it begins to prepare it and in just 8 hours it leaves any warehouse and in less
48 hours reaches any store anywhere in the world
Waste generated:
In the 2012 reports, although there was an improvement in the amount of waste
generated, more than 12,000 tons of waste were generated
Environmental impact:
Inditex has an environmental sustainability plan where these principles are
supposedly met:
- Consideration of environmental and social variables
- Compliance with environmental legislation applicable to its activities
- Preserving the environment
- Identification of possible environmental risks derived from its activity, in order
to prevent them, if applicable
- The guarantee of the dissemination of this policy among all its employees and
the companies that make up its group
- The establishment of fluid communication channels with the authorities, to
achieve the best compliance with this policy
But the truth is that it has been linked of abusing and supplying itself with companies
that generate serious environmental damage and polluting the environment in some
ways such as water pollution and pollution of the environment. air due to hazardous
chemical waste and toxic gases produced in underdeveloped countries
Social impact:
In developed countries with strict laws, working conditions despite not being the best
are decent, while in countries such as China, India or Indonesia (apart from many
others, but these are the main ones) despite not having concise research, it is known
that the environment is contaminated, as has been said in the previous point, which
worsens the quality of life in these areas, workers work in poor conditions and with
very low wages and the most of the workers are child working in bad conditions also
called as child exploitation which occurred even in Brazil where the government
opened an investigation against Inditex
According to a recent report, factory production uses carbon disulfide, which is
flammable and is causing certain damages to workers and people living in the area
where this activity occurs. The toxin has been linked to cases of birth defects,
coronary heart disease, skin disease, and cancer.
Gender differences:
According to Inditex and its most recent reports, its employees receive the same
worldwide, although it is not known how true this report is but what we know is that
women are negatively affected because most workers in textile factories are women
so they are more affected by the poor working conditions and labour explotaition
