During 2013 Inditex developed a pioneering programme in the fashion industry entitled The List, by Inditex, which aims to deal with all productive units manufacturing dyes, pigments and auxiliary chemicals, performing processes liable to produce or transmit substances which, should they be present in fi nished articles, could cause a risk of non-compliance with CTW. This makes it possible to extend product health and safety controls to those industrial sectors that supply other products – above all, chemicals – used in the manufacture of garments.
The List, by Inditex programme is the result of a broad joint research programme with the University of Santiago de Compostela in close collaboration with the world's leading manufacturers of dyes, pigments and auxiliary chemical products used in the manufacturing of textiles and leather products.
The first result of the development of this programme has been the compilation of the first world classification of thousands of dyes, pigments and auxiliary chemical products used in manufacturing textiles, footwear and accessories according to their compliance with CTW.
The methodology followed in assessing the chemical products that appear on The List, by Inditex include the performance of chemical analyses, the technical inspection of manufacturing facilities, the supervision of the product quality control and health mechanisms used and the manufacturing companies' commitments compared with good manufacturing practices and respect for the environment.
The development of The List, by Inditex in 2013 involved 11leading multinationals in certain manufacturing clusters, allowing the classification of over 4,000 important chemical products in the textile and leather industry
