CARE FOR COMMUNITY We’re continuously working on every level to guarantee a minimum environmental impact
We want our clothes to care equally for those who wear them, those who make them and the planet on which they were created.
Suppliers We’ve developed a programme of traceability that allows us to know where and how our apparel has been produced. To guarantee there is care and respect for workers’ conditions, our product safety levels and production standards at every stage of our chain of production, we’re implementing a programme that lets us know how and where all our clothes have been cut, dyed, washed and created. Thanks to this traceability programme and continuous collaboration with our providers, we’re working to guarantee that we only collaborate with suppliers who comply with our code of conduct. Supply chain traceability
Stores The majority of our stores (98%) are energy efficient. We’ve developed an energy efficiency store manual which defines the standards for design, construction and management of our stores to reduce their water and energy consumption. We’re working with the US Green Building Council to ensure our stores reach maximum levels of energy-efficiency. The US Green Building Council is an ONG that promotes sustainability in the design, construction and functioning of buildings. We’ve implemented packaging optimisation programmes which avoid the use of 11 million plastic hangers and represent a saving of 153,000 kilos of plastic annually.
We Reuse and Recycle We’re lengthening the useful life of our boxes, bags, hangers and alarms by reusing them until it’s time to recycle them so the volume of waste is reduced.
