Inditex CEO Óscar García Maceiras said: “The leadership demonstrated by the company on the digital transformation front in recent years places us in an unrivalled position to offer an exceptional level of engagement with our quality and sustainable fashion”.

Inditex started the current fiscal year ‘strongly’, with its store and online sales up by 33% between 1 February and 13 March compared with the same period of FY21.

The company ended the year with 165,042 employees, up from 144,116 a year earlier, and a total of 6,477 stores worldwide.

Inditex plans to invest €80m this year to increase the capacity of its Plataforma Europa facility in Zaragoza, Spain, by 20%.

The facility distributes clothing from Zara, an apparel brand owned by the company, worldwide.

Earlier this month, Inditex temporarily closed all 502 of its stores in Russia, as well as its online operations in the country, amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Sales in these two countries represented around 5% points of the company’s sales growth between 1 February and 13 March this year.

Last June, Inditex reported that its sales had increased by 50% to €4.9bn in the first quarter of FY21.
