INDITEX's transport emissions increased 10 per cent due to its rise in air freight use from Asia to Spain, as container route changes affected shipping, reported New Delhi area's Devdiscourse.
'Despite emission growth, Inditex's overall emissions remained steady compared to 2023, thanks to more sustainable sourcing and reduced emissions from purchased goods and services,' said Devdiscourse, an eco-sustainability site
Inditex, the owner of fast-fashion giant Zara, reported a 10 per cent jump in transport emissions in 2024, largely driven by increased air freight usage from Asia to Spain.
This operational shift resulted from disruptions in usual shipping routes, compelling the company to rely more on air transport to avoid logistical delays, said the reports.
Despite the uptick in transport emissions, Inditex's overall greenhouse gas emissions remained steady compared to the previous year, owing to improved sustainable sourcing practices.
The retailer made headway in reducing emissions in its purchased goods and services category by six per cent, aided by a shift towards lower-impact textiles, said the report.
As part of its long-term sustainability goals, Inditex aims to cut scope 3 emissions by 51 per cent by 2030 and by 90 per cent by 2040 from 2018 levels.
The company's 2024 report outlines the necessary milestones to meet these targets, underscoring the urgency of integrating sustainable measures throughout its supply chain.
