Abstract

Sustainability is a sensitive issue in the fast fashion industry, a field confronted with high competition, intense use of resources and breach of basic human rights and working conditions in some of the outsourced countries, which affect the sustainability of fashion supply chains. In this paper, we will examine the sustainability of Inditex Group’s supply chains and the activities they underwent with, to ensure the constant improvement of their overall activity throughout their supply chains, from a triple perspective: economic, social and environmental.
