I created environmental concepts such as JOIN LIFE or The ECOEFICIENT STORES, key for Inditex brands: ZARA, BERSHKA, MASSIMO DUTTI, PULL & BEAR, STRADIVARIUS, OYSHO, ZARA HOME: ECOEFFICIENT STORE: Manual for the design, construction, management and evaluation. This establishes the general criteria in energy and environmental to be applied by all of the professionals involved in the design, development, maintenance and management of ZARA stores. JOIN LIFE LABELLING STANDARD: Products manufactured under this standard are made with sustainable raw materials and/or with best technologies in at least one manufacturing process. Join Life is labeling in all Inditex brands: Zara.. ZARA Collection Program for Used Clothing: The items collected in Zara stores are donated to non-profit partners, including, Red Cross, Oxfam or CEPF, and sorted for repair, resale or recycling. I fostered the incorporation of Inditex in the “Sustainable Apparel Coalition” (SAC) in 2011, where I collaborates actively in the definition of its main implementation strategies. I also sponsored Inditex joins to both, "The Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action" during the COP 24 in Katowice, and “ The Fashion Pact”, in which signatory companies commit to work within the framework of the Science-Based Targets (SBT) initiative and undertake to focus their strategy on three essential aspects for the Protection of the Planet: climate change mitigation, restoring biodiversity and protecting the Oceans. My commitment to social movements is notable. I took part in the work group "CanopyStyle Leaders for Forest Conservation" coordinated by the Canadian organisation Canopy. Marathon runner, I already participated in the most important marathons in the world: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, London, Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, being his next race Boston, completing the World Marathon Majors. I also love share his free time with his family, playing bass guitar and watching movies
