Inditex has an agreement with IndustriALL that requires the company to address workers’ needs throughout the supply chain.

“Inditex is in the process of a phased and responsible exit from Myanmar, following IndustriALL’s call,” a company spokesman wrote in an email. “As a result, we continue to reduce the number of active manufacturers in the country.” Myanmar, whose garment industry is a major employer, supplying clothes and shoes to big Western brands and retailers, has been plunged into political and humanitarian crises since a military junta took power in early 2021. IndustriALL says that labour rights have been eroded since then.

Inditex has an agreement with IndustriALL since 2007, which it renewed in 2022, according to its annual report. The agreement commits the company to maintaining dialogue with trade unions and to addressing workers’ needs throughout the supply chain.
