Tell Zara to clean up its fossil fuel riddled manufacturing

Zara (owned by Inditex) produces over 450 million products every year – that’s 1,730,769 each day. With the fast fashion model of the company, many of these items end in landfill. But there’s another energy intensive process in the middle that’s churning out major toxic pollution. The brand’s manufacturing pipeline is riddled with fossil fuels and that’s why it scored a “D+” on our Fossil Free Fashion scorecard.

The fashion industry has been flying under the radar for far too long and not taking responsibility for its role in driving up fossil fuel production and pollution. Our fashion campaign has been calling on fashion companies – big and small – to go beyond commitments and take action to phase out fossil fuels from their production line to their stores. And now it’s Zara’s turn to ramp up its weak climate promises and do more to cut its greenhouse gas emissions.

Send a message to Zara’s CEO and remind him that we need action - it’s time to phase out fossil fuels and switch to 100% renewable energy in its supply chain.

Dear {contact_data~title} {contact_data~lastName},

I’m writing to you with concern over your lack of action to get fossil fuels out of your supply chain. According to Stand.earth’s latest Fossil Free Fashion Scorecard, you have scored a “D+” on your climate action.

As one of the largest fast fashion companies in the world, your business is responsible for a huge chunk of the fashion industry’s emissions. The fashion industry’s pollution has dangerous negative impacts on the health and security of communities living in and around its factories. Not to mention the impact of all the clothes that end up in landfills. You have a responsibility - and an opportunity - to use your influence for good, and be a leader in phasing out fossil fuels.

I urge your company to follow in the footsteps of your competitor, H&M, and set climate targets to cut your supply chain emissions by 55% or greater and to power your manufacturing with 100% renewable energy by 2030. Inditex’s current climate target for your supply chain is not strong enough to prevent massive harm to the climate and communities who are on the front lines of climate chaos. The World Resources Institute calculated that transitioning fashion supply chains to 100% clean, renewable energy would cut your emissions by 27%, making it an essential part of the decarbonization plan. The pathway to getting off of dirty fossil fuel is more clear and cheaper than ever, and I encourage you to set a commitment to go renewable in your supply chain by 2030.

I look forward to seeing the urgent action you take to reduce your company’s climate impact.

Sincerely,
