amfori BSCI
The amfori business association aims to improve ecological and, in particular, social conditions (ESG) along the supply chain. As a founding member of amfori, we require all suppliers to comply with the minimum social requirements.

The basis for this is the amfori BSCI Code of Conduct. amfori BSCI has become one of the most important social standards for supply chains in recent years.

We are a member of the national amfori contact group in Switzerland. On an international level, we are actively involved in various thematic working groups on ESG.

Better income for small coffee farmers
Important raw materials such as cocoa and coffee are grown by small farmers in global supply chains. These key players face challenges such as climate change, low prices or a lack of access to technology and knowledge, and often do not earn enough to ensure a decent standard of living for themselves and their families.

Together with Delica, our supplier ECOM Agroindustrial Corp. Ltd. and the IDH Foundation, Migros is researching possible approaches and measures to support small farmers in achieving a living income. The “Bridging Living Income in Colombia” project is being implemented with coffee farmers in Huila, Colombia. The package of measures includes various training courses and investments to increase productivity, gain access to premium markets, optimise production costs and diversify income. The project will investigate the effects of these measures on the household income of the families and the extent to which these measures can increase the income of smallholder families.
GlobalG.A.P / GlobalG.A.P GRASP
GlobalG.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practices) is an internationally recognised standard for good agricultural production. It includes requirements for food safety, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, and animal welfare. Migros has required its suppliers of fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants to comply with GlobalG.A.P., or SwissGAP in Switzerland, since 1999.

The additional standard GRASP (Risk Assessment on Social Practices) examines a range of requirements relating to working conditions, such as legally compliant wages, minimum age, correct employment contracts, etc.
