Our Commitment
Together with our principals at Inditex, we at Bigbon Group are committed to transform our business into an eco-friendly operation. The pressures on our planet’s limited natural resources and the challenges that arise from climate change require prompt and effective action from us all. We are taking wide-ranging measures to protect biodiversity, reduce our consumption of water, energy and other resources, avoid waste, and combat climate change.
The textile industry places huge demands on water resources. Our ongoing quest for innovation enables us to be greener and more efficient.
Climate Change and Energy, we look at every aspect of our value chain to reduce our energy consumption. Eco-efficiency is a primary consideration when we design, upgrade and maintain our shops. We are rapidly upgrading and renovating our existing shops to comply with these efficiency targets: 20% more energy efficient and 40% less water consumption
Currently, the company is recycling or reusing 88% of its waste. It will continue to introduce collection and recycling systems for all the materials used in its package distribution and hanged garment operations (mainly FSC-certified cardboard boxes, recycled and recyclable plastic, alarms and hangers) for reuse within the supply chain itself or for recycling under the so-called Green to Pack programme.
In 2021, Bigbon Group committed to install containers in all of the shops for collecting used clothing for subsequent charitable purposes, reuse or recycling. We have teamed up with The Malta Trust Foundation for this project. The Clothing Collection programme is one of the cornerstones and targets for our circular economy effort.
In 2023, through Inditex we have teamed up with WWF to reduce paper bag consumption and encourage the use of reusable bags. Paper bags are now distributed at a charge and all proceeds collected from the sale of these bags go towards supporting WWF in the conservation of the Mediterranean sea.
By 2025, Inditex is committed to reach 100% of the linen and polyester used by all eight of its brands will be coming from preferent sources while also reducing the water consumption in the supply chain by 25%.
Supporting Our Communities
At Bigbon, we believe in doing our part to give back to the community that supports us. It’s a big part of who we are, and we’ve created some awesome initiatives to make it happen—together with our amazing team.
