Labor and Employment Practices

There are 300 people on the design team who look through forecasts and trends for the brands collections, they work in the headquarters. Over 5,000 employees work in the headquarters in different areas from the distribution center to the factories. All the clothing is distributed through four centers in Spain and there are ten different factories where the pieces are manufactured (Hanbury, 2018).

Inditex insures their employees human rights along with fundamental work rights, for all employees that work in their supply chains.  They also enforce there to be no child labor, forced labor, no discrimination of any kind.  The minimum age for working is the age of 16, with parental or guardian consent and 18 without the guardian’s consent. Inditex does not do business with companies that work with anyone under the age of sixteen years old (Inditex, 2018). Health and safety conditions are regulated throughout the company, it is an important part to prevent any issues for the employees (2018).
