In order to cope with extreme droughts that may affect quality, quantity and price of water intensive raw materials, Inditex is fostering the use of materials obtained from more sustainable sources. Raw material choices are closely intertwined with our biodiversity, water and energy management strategies. We promote organic cotton farming because it is based in sustainable use of water and in not using chemicals. For instance, in 2017 the Inditex Group sold a total of 58.7 million garments made from organic cotton, which translates into a consumption of more than 8,000 tons of this material.
