INTRODUCTION

Zara, flagship brand of the Inditex Group, has gained a reputation as the ultimate destination for European fashion, with more than 2,200 stores in 96 countries, leading at a 3.37 billion euros in profit in 2017. But just how ethical is Zara? How is this fast fashion  giant impacting on people and the planet? Let's discuss some of them.




As my perception the brand ZARA, they are well concern about the society mostly to people, animals, planet,etc


  HUMAN BEINGS (PEOPLE)


  • Zara allows to know, how their products are made.                                                    
  • They totally prohibit unwanted activities like forced labour and discrimination in the workplace.                                                                                                             
  • They are strongly against child labour, who are under 16 age.                                 
  • They are much polite to their workers and supplier for their hard work.                                                                                               
  • The brand have given A+ in policies, auditing and supplier relations by the workers and supplier. 


  ANIMALS



  • Zara includes a strict ban on angora and fur.                                
  • They have also banned on stocking products tested on animal.    
  • They mostly use the wool from non-mulesed sheep.
