The IAF is a representative body for over 100,000 manufacturers from 40 countries, coordinated through various trade associations.

This collaborative agreement signifies a commitment from both parties to initiate projects that enhance working conditions, prioritize environmental protection, shift towards circular practices, and advocate for transparency and traceability within the supply chain. The objective is to drive positive change across the fashion sector, aligning with the growing global focus on sustainability and responsible business practices.

By leveraging the reach and influence of Inditex as a major player in the fashion industry and the IAF’s extensive network of manufacturers, this partnership holds the potential to make a significant impact on sustainability efforts and steer the industry towards a more eco-conscious and ethical future.

The collaboration between Inditex and the IAF reflects a shared goal of fostering a fashion industry that not only values innovation and style but also prioritizes social and environmental responsibilities for a more sustainable tomorrow.
