Climate

Our goal for the entire Migros Group is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We have set ourselves specific targets to cut our greenhouse gas emissions in our own operations and across our value chains.

What we're committed to

  • Doing more for the climate

    Achieving net zero by 2050

    We are reducing greenhouse gas emissions in our own operations and across our value chains.

Our goals

  1. We will cut the greenhouse gas emissions of our operations by 70% compared to 2019 levels by 2030, and by 90% by 2050.

    • Since 2021, our businesses have run entirely on renewable electricity. By 2040, all our utilised heat will be renewable and all our refrigerants natural.

    • By 2040, our own vehicles used for transporting goods and people will be powered solely by renewable energy drive systems.

    • We will reduce energy consumption at our own locations and in our logistics operations by 7% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels.

    • We have also pledged to neutralise any remaining greenhouse gas emissions in the long term from 2050 onwards.

  2. Between now and 2050, we will slash the greenhouse gas emissions along our value chains by 90% compared to 2019 levels.

    • By 2026, we will ensure that 67% of non-agricultural (non-FLAG) emissions from procured products and services are covered by our suppliers’ science-based reduction targets.

    • What's more, we will cut the FLAG emissions caused by procured products and services by a third of their 2019 levels by 2030, and by 72% by 2050.

    • By the end of 2025, we will define measures and a target for promoting plant-based nutrition.

    • We will lower greenhouse gas emissions from our upstream goods transport by 27.5% compared to 2019 levels by 2030.

    • We will cut the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the use of the products we sell by 46.2% by 2030 (specific sub-target for Migrol).

    • We have also pledged to neutralise any remaining greenhouse gas emissions in the long term from 2050 onwards.

  3. Migros Bank will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in its investment business by 35% and in its mortgage business by 40% by 2030 compared to 2023 levels.

Our partnerships

We work with our partners to promote sustainable development.

  • myclimate

    Icon for opening or closing

    In 2017, we launched the M-Climate Fund in collaboration with myclimate.

    The aim of the fund is to implement climate protection projects along the Migros value chain (including at our suppliers).

    Myclimate manages the fund for us. The fund is financed by Migros’ incentive taxes (e.g. for air transport) and climate contributions from our customers.

    • Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi)

      Icon for opening or closing

      In February 2020, we committed to setting ourselves climate protection targets in accordance with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

      The SBTi is a collaboration between the CDP, UNGC, WRI and WWF, which aims to encourage companies to take science-based climate protection measures in line with the Paris Agreement.

      • WWF Switzerland

        Icon for opening or closing

        WWF Switzerland is the largest environmental organisation in Switzerland and is structured as a non-profit foundation. Its goal is to stop the global destruction of the environment and, together with the stakeholders involved, to shape a future in which people and nature live together in harmony.

        Migros has maintained a strategic partnership with WWF Switzerland since 2009. This partnership was extended to the Migros Group in 2023. We have set ourselves common goals in the areas of climate, deforestation and feeding the planet.
