Zara
Zara has a Poor rating due to its harmful model and its parent company's industry-topping emissions that aren't being successfully reduced. We also expect more brand-level transparency.
Zara is part of the fast fashion industry, which exploits labor and natural resources while incentivizing overconsumption. Its parent company has SBTi-approved emissions reduction targets, but none are currently on track, despite the company being in the top 5 highest-emitting fashion companies.
Commons couldn't find most information at a brand-level. Zara's parent company uses a majority of lower emissions and/or certified materials, including recycled cotton, organic cotton, and recycled polyester, though it also uses conventional cotton and virgin polyester. Zara offers repair services, and a take back program for donation or resale. It doesn't clearly share its packaging materials.
Zara is owned by Inditex.
