ARTEIXO – Inditex has reset of its Care for Water (CFW) ‘excellent’ limits, in a move that sharpens scrutiny on continuous processes such as textile dyeing, printing and washing, while easing ceilings for more water‑intensive operations including animal‑fibre exhaust dyeing and denim laundries.

Inditex has framed CFW as the water pillar within its wider Green to Wear standard, and has previously pledged to cut supply chain water consumption by 25% by 2025.
