Zara is owned by Inditex.

Our “Planet�� rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Zara “It’s a Start��. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It supports industry organisations that work to address the impacts of microplastics.
• It’s published a biodiversity protection policy that applies to its entire supply chain.
• It’s eliminated some hazardous chemicals but has not made a commitment to eliminate all hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• It uses some recycled packaging.

Workers�� rights are central to our “People�� rating, which assess brands�� policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Zara “It’s a Start��. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It doesn’t disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• It provides workplace harassment and violence awareness training for its suppliers.
• It provides a confidential complaints mechanism for workers in its supply chain to report harassment or violence.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It claims to have a program to improve wages but there’s no evidence it ensures its workers are paid living wages in most of its supply chain.
• It’s taken insufficient steps to remediate its links to cotton sourced from Xinjiang, a region in China at risk of Uyghur forced labour.

Brands�� animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals�� rating. Here we rate Zara “Not Good Enough��. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use leather, wool, shearling, down, and exotic animal hair.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
• There’s no evidence it traces any animal-derived materials to the first production stage.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Zara “It’s a Start�� overall.
