Zara 800

Zara implements corporate social responsibility measures like reducing energy use in shops by 20% and using automatic recycling hangers to reduce plastic waste. However, the document argues that Zara needs to focus more on workers by paying above minimum wage and treating suppliers fairly to improve product quality and meet CSR goals. While pursuing sustainability can gain customer loyalty, Zara's high production model may not be environmentally sustainable long-term and encourages overconsumption. The document suggests focusing on durable clothing, repair, and reducing washes could make the industry more ethical and harmful to the environment.

Corporate Social Responsibility Of Zara is a part of Zara's business model.

Operations
and procedures at Zara are created such that they do not interfere with people's and the
environment's well-being but rather enhance it. Additionally, these methods and designs help
businesses expand. A well-structured approach to Zara's operations ensures long-term success by
lowering potential risks and fostering a strong sense of community among employees and
customers.
In today's economic climate, companies like Zara are implementing CSR measures to
ensure long-term viability. For CSR initiatives, ZARA sought to impact the environment in
which its stores were located. Zara has established CSR targets since it has several outlets in
various places.
Zara's first step is to reduce energy use in all shops by 20%. This would enable Zara to
lower the environmental impact of its shops' carbon emissions or carbon footprints.
Zara's second attempt is to reduce its use of plastics and synthetic fibers. The company has
installed an automatic recycling hanger system that takes up processing and plastic components
from its retail locations.
In my opinion, Zara's green efforts have a more significant impact on the community as a
whole and the environment as a whole. Zara needs to pay attention to its workers since they are
also part of the company's corporate social life.
We need Zara to put more effort into projects that assist workers in its shops and the
factory where its clothing is made. Zara should follow my recommendation, which is to pay its
factory employees more than the minimum wage so that they can perform much better, produce
better-quality clothing, and get it to shops on time so that Zara can fulfill consumer demand.
Zara's products would be more natural, and the company's CSR objectives would be more
likely to be met if it purchased its organic resources, such as cotton and organic fibers, from
farmers and paid them fairly. Suppliers also benefit by receiving a fair price and raising their
living standards.
The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Pursuing A Sustainable Fashion Model
Zara has pros and cons in a sustainable fashion. As people become more aware of how
and where their garments are made, a sustainable fashion firm may gain customer loyalty and
confidence. Ethical and fair-trade business models are also promoted to demonstrate that you
care about your own company and] how employees in impoverished nations are treated when
they produce your products. Good publicity might also be gained by showing your commitment
to sustainable fashion as a business. Zara's business strategy is founded on a high turnover rate,
and the company releases more than 10,000 designs yearly. Thus, there are certain dangers.
That is why it is unsustainable since to make it completely sustainable, the whole
company model would have to be changed, which would result in an economic loss. You may
lose market share and negative publicity if you do not establish and promote sustainable
behavior. There will be blowback from the UN and the government since you will not be
contributing to the achievement of the. Compensation expenses, legal challenges, and increased
scrutiny from organizations focused on long-term viability are likely outcomes.
Final Thoughts And Suggestions
Even though Zara has made a lot of progress in this area, it is still possible to make a
clothing company that is more ethical and less harmful to the environment. Fewer new things are
made, which is good for the environment. It also means that clothes are worn for longer, which is
also good for the environment. Because they have a very high turnover rate, their business plan
cannot work in the long run. It isn’t good for people's and the environment’s health to encourage
them to consume more than they need to. Zara has become the industry standard for how
clothing companies should treat the environment. Since new styles come out every two weeks, it
would have made more sense to offer four different seasonal variations throughout the year.
Recycling and clothing lines that care about the environment is not enough to stop what is called
a "throw-away culture,"
It is essential to improve consumer education to eliminate the things that stop people
from buying items in these new ways. Suppose the fashion industry chose to focus on durable
clothes and accessories instead of ones that can be thrown away. In that case, it might be possible
for the business to cut the amount of material it makes without losing money. If certain practices,
like repair and remanufacturing, are used, profits can go up without the amount of material flow
going up simultaneously.
Shortly, it may be possible to refresh clothes without washing them. This would reduce
the amount of CO2 released into the environment and the amount of potentially harmful
chemical dyes that end up in lakes and streams. New ways to recycle fibers and cleaning
chemicals that only need to be heated to a low temperature
