Inditex is backing a new financing vehicle designed to help textile, apparel and footwear suppliers in emerging markets invest in cleaner production. The D-TAFS fund was launched on Tuesday, November 10, according to Drapers.

Financing cleaner factory upgrades

Inditex has committed up to 50 million US dollars to D-TAFS, while the World Bank's International Finance Corporation has committed up to 60 million US dollars. The vehicle aims to raise 400 million US dollars, with an initial funding round expected to reach 225 million US dollars.

The planned loans will support renewable-energy installations, machinery upgrades, water conservation, wastewater treatment, process improvements and chemical management. The structure is intended to give smaller suppliers access to longer-term financing for factory projects.

Execution remains the investor focus

Inditex chief executive Óscar García Maceiras said the company had spent more than two years working with suppliers to understand factory needs and develop tailored transformation plans with independent engineering consultants. He said the fund could turn identified improvements into investments and measurable results.

The initiative adds a supply-chain and sustainability commitment to Inditex's operating profile. Its financial effect will depend on the projects financed and the operational improvements achieved at supplier level.
