Scope 3 emissions account for the vast majority, totalling roughly 12.61 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (about 6.13 billion kg CO2e), upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 2.60 billion kg CO2e), and the use of sold products (around 2.91 billion kg CO2e). In 2024, Inditex's total emissions were approximately 13.54 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 59.57 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions at about 1.34 million kg CO2e.

The company aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040, ten years earlier than previously planned. Furthermore, Inditex has set science-based decarbonisation targets (SBTs), approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These targets include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90% by 2030, using 2018 as a base year. Additionally, Inditex has committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2030, also from a 2018 base year. For the longer term, Inditex aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040. Inditex is actively working towards these goals, aiming for a 53% reduction in total emissions by 2030 compared to 2018 levels.
