In what year did Zara introduce its 'Join Life' sustainable collection? Zara introduced its Join Life sustainable collection in 2015.
Join Life was created as a customer-facing label to help Zara identify garments made with materials and processes intended to have a lower environmental impact. The initiative formed part of Inditex's wider sustainability work, which also addressed supply-chain standards, chemical management, energy use and clothing collection programmes.
The year is easy to confuse with other sustainability milestones. Zara began installing in-store clothing collection containers in 2015, while the programme later expanded and the installation process was completed in 2020. Join Life has also evolved: its qualifying materials and standards have been revised, and the label's role changed as Inditex updated how it communicates sustainability. The original introduction date remains 2015.
