INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

The Green to Wear Standard is a standard designed to evaluate the environmental performance of mills highlighted in Table 0, and to help them to reduce their environmental impact by applying real, practical measures to improve their environmental performance and their use of natural resources.

To achieve this, professional experts in the textile industry visit the mills to assess at first hand their real situation and to evaluate them using the Green to Wear questionnaire. This questionnaire evaluates a series of indicators intended to assess the level of sustainable and efficient management of the mill in the following areas: raw materials, water, technology and processes, chemical products, wastewater, waste, and energy.

Every mill performing manufacturing processes listed on Table 0 we work with at Inditex is evaluated through the indicators of the Green to Wear questionnaire and are each assigned a grade. According to the result obtained in the questionnaire, companies are classified according to their environmental performance. Each Green to Wear classification is linked to a series of measures for continuous improvement that must be implemented by the mill, allowing us to advance towards a supply chain that is increasingly respectful of the environment.

The Green to Wear standard differentiates between the following categories:

· A - Best in class. The "Best in class" mills are capable of an efficient and an effective management of their resources, increasing theirproductivity and reducing their impact on the environment.

· B - Good performance. The "B" classification is granted to mills that achieve a good level of environmental management of theiractivities, with efficient control of their resources and their environmental impact, but in which there is still room for improvement.

· C - Poor performance. These are mills at risk of being considered as "very poor performance" because their use of resources(water, energy, raw materials) is inefficient and/or they do not control their environmental impact in a proper and systematicmanner: improper operation of their waste water treatment processes, poor management of solid waste, among others.

· D - Very poor performance. These are mills that present a high environmental risk, carrying out non-sustainable activities witha high environmental impact.

The Green to Wear Supporting Documents are a guide and reference for the facilities to ensure they are acquainted with and understand some complex subjects about the Green to Wear audit.

This document shall be applied to all facilities which performs the manufacturing processes included in Table 0. Below facilities are out of the scope of this document:

INDITEX CHEMICAL CONTROL STRATEGY (Back to Index)

This document contains the methodology to control chemical products (dyes, pigments, and auxiliaries) used in the manufacturing of textile and leather garments. All mills under the scope of this document should implement this procedure to guarantee their productions comply with Inditex standards. The use of this guide minimizes risk for most of the critical chemical substances included in Table 1 and 1.1.

On our website you will find mandatory standards for Product Health & Safety.

· Clear to Wear (CTW)· Physical Testing Requirements (PTR)· Safe to Wear & Metal Detection Policy

CAP.01 - INDITEX CHEMICAL CONTROL STRATEGY · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.3 6

SELECTING THE RIGHT PRODUCTS FOR MANUFACTURING

Each lot of chemical products used in mills under the scope of this document should be checked before use. You can proceed with the manufacturing of a garment or fabric for INDITEX once chemical products are verified with at least one of the options below:

· Step 1 - The List by INDITEX: The use of chemical products pre-approved by INDITEX.

· Step 2 - ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module. The use of chemical products registered in Level 3 of the Zero DischargeHazardous Chemicals platform.

· Step3-ChemicalTesting: Detailed analysis of chemical products used.

SELECTING THE RIGHT PRODUCTS FOR MANUFACTURING

Step 1. The List by INDITEX

The List by INDITEX is a catalog of pre-approved chemical products to use in the textile and leather manufacturing processes. They are classified by their degree of compliance with different parameters of the INDITEX Restricted Substance List (RSL) and Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL).

· A products: use without restriction.· B products: use with precaution. To assure compliance it is mandatory to perform an analysis of first production lot.1

· C products: prohibited for INDITEX production.

Step 2. ZDHC Chemical Module

If chemical products are not included in The List by INDITEX, they should be evaluated throughout the Level 3 of ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module.

· In case the chemical product does not belong to any of the Functional Descriptions in Table 1 and 1.1 we consider there is no riskand product can be used without restriction.

· In case the chemical belongs to one of these categories and it is not registered in the ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module, checkstep 3.

Please note that to get into the ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module you need to be registered. During registration process, please identify yourself as Inditex supplier.Information for Level 3 of ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module is also available by asking your chemical supplier directly for the corresponding ZDHC Chemcheck report.2

1. Production lot: all material produced at the same time, applying the same recipe and using the same chemicals and machinery.2. An example of a “ZDHC Chemcheck report” is shown here.


Step 3. Chemical testing

The chemical supplier should provide a test for each lot number. If the chemical products are not listed under any of the previous options. Table 1 and 1.1 should be used to identify the necessary testing parameters.

If the chemical supplier does not provide this information, the facility should verify if the chemical product can be used in INDITEX pro-duction by checking the test results against the values of Table 2: If results are below limits, the product can be used without restriction.

Important: Test results provided by chemical suppliers should be cross-checked by mills under the scope of this document by testing 3 different lot numbers received during the year.


LABORATORIES FOR TESTING

Proper laboratory selection is important to obtain reliable results. For this reason, all laboratories should comply with either one of the following:

1. To have an ISO 17025 accreditation for the requested substance/parameter.

2. To be approved for the requested substance/parameter in the Inditex proposed laboratories list.

In this Inditex proposed laboratory list, the laboratory approval should comply either one of the following:

To have good performance in correlation studies for the requested parameter/substance.

To have ISO 17025 accreditation for the requested parameter/substance.

It is recommended to use ISO laboratory method analysis for chemical products, and for application the ones described in CTW (if apply).

The laboratory should inform in advance in case any of the tests are being subcontracted to other labs. If so, ISO 17025 accreditation is also mandatory for analysis at outsourced laboratory.

IN-HOUSE ANALYSIS DURING PRODUCTION CONTROLS (Back to Index)

To prevent any non-compliance issues in the early stages of the manufacturing process, there are some controls that can be done in-house in wet processing mills on a regular basis. This document explains these controls for pH and color fastness parameters.

pH results should always be within the limits defined in PTR, with a margin of 0.5 pH unit. In pH tests, it is necessary to perform 3 measurements for textile or 2 measurements for leather products.

Color fastness results in textiles should always be 0.5 units over the requirements of the PTR.

It is recommended to use ISO or GB test methods for the in-house analysis of these parameters.

IN-HOUSE ANALYSIS RESULTS AND THEIR TRACEABILITY DURING PRODUCTION CONTROL

Records of both pH and color fastness analysis should be registered for at least one year. Full traceability is expected with each manufacturing lot.

For color fastness analysis, both color change and color staining results are to be kept along with the test specimens.

CORRELATION OF IN-HOUSE ANALYSIS DURING PRODUCTIONS CONTROLS

To check the validity of these in-house pH and color fastness tests, once a month at least one internally tested sample needs to be sent to an external testing laboratory to verify the correlation regardless the number of INDITEX purchase orders received.

The difference should not be more than 1.0 unit for pH for textile and 0.5 for leather, and 0.5 unit for color fastness.

Important: Samples sent for correlation test need to be properly identified to ensure traceability with the related mill order.

Important: For external correlation test, you may choose one with ISO 17025, or one approved from the “Inditex proposed laboratories list”.

Important: For printed productions you should test as many colors included in the print as possible, preferably the darkest ones.

Important: Due to the size of Inditex orders, three tests per work shift can be accepted as a proper number of tests per order. The three tests will come preferably from lots produced in different machines. (Back to Index)


RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURING PRACTICES (Back to Index)

INDITEX recommends good manufacturing practices that prevent Clear to Wear non-compliances for its products:

DOCUMENTSTechnical Data Sheets (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are documents that accompany every chemical product. To follow the instructions of these documents is essential to ensure that the final product does not have any problems due to misuse of chemicals. All workers should have access to the instructions for every chemical registered in the inventory.

INVENTORYDetailed inventories per chemical agent should be maintained by lot numbers, TDS and SDS for each chemical, and purchase date. To minimize any risk, make sure chemicals that have been purchased first are consumed prior to any new arrivals.

CHEMICAL STORAGEChemical products could change their properties and contaminate their surrounding area if not properly stored. Dyestuffs should be kept indoors, sealed, and avoid direct contact with floor and walls.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS TRACEABILITYFor the correct traceability of INDITEX productions, internal orders should contain information regarding the final client (INDITEX brand) and their age range CTW classification (baby/children/adult) when known. Traceability is ensured when each recipe contains the lot production number for its corresponding purchase order.

CAP.03 - RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURING PRACTICES · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.3 31

RECOMENDATIONS FOR BABY PRODUCTIONSTo prevent formaldehyde cross-contamination between Baby and other productions:

· Separating production lines for Baby from other running productions.· Pay special attention to the stenters, curing machinery and dryers.· Analyze formaldehyde in first production lot.

(Back to Index)

CAP.03 - RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURING PRACTICES · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.3

TEXTILE PROCESS VARIABLESThe conditions for fixation/curing process explained in the Technical Data Sheets (TDS) should be followed without exception.

Stenter and curing machinery are indispensable to perform curing/finishing and drying processes.

A proper control of time and temperature is critical to ensure compliance in the production. Due to this, an automatic and real time reading equipment is recommended. If this were not possible thermocouples/temperature stripes/thermosensor device are accepted as alternatives for temperature control.

LEATHER PROCESS VARIABLESRECOMENDATIONS TO AVOID CHROMIUM(VI) IN LEATHERInditex has issued handbooks for the production of Cr(VI)-free leather for footwear, bags and clothing.

Mandatory requirements implemented in the wet-end stage include the need for degreasing the wet-blue and the selection of protected fatliquors, the proper management of the pHs of different process steps respecting the limits specified in CTW and the prohibition of the use of oxidizing bleaching agents and some pigments. Finally, it is recommended the application of several options of antioxidant protection.

Expiration date of antioxidants and reductive agents used for avoiding Cr(VI) formation in leather shall be fully respected.

CAP.04 - CARE FOR WATER PROGRAM · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.3

CARE FOR WATER PROGRAM

1. Care for Water classification “Good” or “Excellent”: the facility should comply the following requirements:

· Verified annual average water consumption (L/Kg) meeting the limit “Good” or “Excellent”. (*)· To have recipes to register the chemicals used for all manufacturing process carried out at the mill.· To have flowmeters in each different process areas/production lines.· To have flowmeters installed for the total incoming process water and for the total discharge.· To have water level meters/flowmeters in the equipment of each machine.

(Back to Index)

When considering the impact of the mills, one of the most important parameters to consider is water. Water consumption itself is a key consideration and the amount of water used in wet processing is closely linked to energy consumption and chemical consumption.

Reducing water consumption reduces depletion of rivers, lakes, and underground aquifers, leaving water for other end uses. Also, using less water means using less energy (to heat up the water for wet processing) and using less chemicals, resulting on lower amount of chemicals on the wastewater discharge.

Care for Water is a program that promotes the improvements of water management of the mills.

During the Green to Wear audit, there are some questions which are considered to determinate the facilities that are having a good water management, usage, and low water consumption in their productions.

These facilities are ranked with the Care for Water mark, which identifies the mill as a mill with good water management.

REQUIREMENTS FOR CARE FOR WATER CLASSIFICATION OF A FACILITYA facility should be A or B on environmental audit (GTW 2.1) and meet one of the following:

33

CAP.04 - CARE FOR WATER PROGRAM · GREEN TO WEAR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS · V 1.3

2. Care for Water classification “Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)”: the facility should reuse the 100% of the process wastewater aftertreatment (Excluding losses as evaporated wastewater during the water recycling process).

The following manufacturing processes are out of the Care for Water scope and these processes must not be considered for Care for Water:

(*) Maximum average water consumptions can be found on Table 3 and Table 4.

Industrial Water Consumption

= + +Manufacturing Process

+ _Machine Cleaning Process

Re-Process Evaporation Water Reuse/Recycle

The tables 3 and 4 below shows the maximum annual average water consumption (l/kg) to be classified as “Good Factory” and “Excellent Factory”.

The figures for total annual average water consumption should be based on actual measurements from properly positioned water me-ters and include all processes associated with wet processing. This includes actual production, machine cleaning, laboratories, steam production, and cooling water. Domestic water consumption can be omitted from calculations. The actual target figures will need to be a weighted average of all the products/processes carried out annually in the factory.
