Inditex opens first For&From shop in Mexico

Link Securities | Inditex (ITX) has announced the opening of the Group’s first For&From shop in the Aztec country, in the Samara Shops shopping centre in Mexico City. Mexico is the fourth market in which the company has incorporated this format of shops for the social and occupational integration of people with disabilities, after the openings in Spain, Italy and Portugal, according to Bolsamania.

The company explained in a statement that all Inditex’s For&From shops are managed by specialised social organisations and replicate the same model: based on an initial donation from Inditex for the start-up of the shop, the model becomes self-sustainable through the sale of products from previous campaigns at reduced prices and the profits generated are used entirely to finance the social projects of the collaborating entities.
