Inditex Reports Record Profits Amid Executive Pay Disparity

Inditex, the parent company of Zara, has announced record results for the first time, reporting a profit of €6.22 billion against a revenue nearing €40 billion. Despite these landmark figures, the compensation for Marta Ortega, the company's president, has remained stagnant at €1 million per year since she assumed the role, which raises questions about pay equity within the organization. In contrast, CEO Óscar García Maceiras' salary has seen consistent increases, culminating in a total remuneration of €11.55 million for 2025, a 3% rise from the previous year.
