Quinoa from sustainable cultivation
A visit to our producers in the Bolivian highlands.
Origin is important to us
Transparency for you and us
Transparency is rooted in our DNA. We believe that our global commitment to people, animals and the environment should be visible and understandable. This is the only way for us to make continuous progress and increase your confidence that you can shop with us with a clear conscience.
Our work: transparent and traceable
We are committed to this principle – not only in Switzerland, but along the entire supply chain worldwide. We want you to feel our efforts and be able to make the right purchasing decision based on comprehensibility, transparency and clear information. In addition, transparent supply chains are vital for us to make continuous progress in terms of environmental and social standards. We are striving to continuously expand traceability and provide insight into the following:
Where do the products originate? We check that our products comply with social, environmental and quality standards, through to cultivation or the final processing stage.
How and under what conditions are the products produced? For contentious raw materials such as palm oil or chocolate, we go one step further and check the supply chain right back to the source.
How can you find out more about a specific product? Use our clever code pages to trace our products, and find out how sustainable our products are in M-Check.
What good cooperation looks like
We strive for long-term and close partnerships with our producers. Want an example? Find out more about our quinoa from the highlands of Bolivia.
Supply chains and information on production plants
Many of our products are made abroad. We closely monitor the conditions under which these products are manufactured. In our own-brand clothing and household ranges, we go one step further and publish this information. The following table shows our supply chains with a focus on critical countries of origin. It contains information on the production facilities at the final processing stage and the verification of social standards.
The data is updated annually. We plan to publish information about further production facilities and product ranges.

How fair is my T-shirt? How to find out
Can I buy a T-shirt with a clear conscience? How does Migros ensure that the people who contributed to the creation of the garment are protected and treated with respect at their workplace? Insights into the many stages on the way to the finished T-shirt.
More sustainable strawberries
Making strawberries more palatable for the environment
Migros has been selling sustainable strawberries from southern Spain since 2019.

Soybeans: No fertiliser, no pests
Cattle graze next to soybean fields on the Garohof farm in the Bernese Seeland: why the future looks bright for this pairing.
Meadow milk
Milk in harmony with nature
Migros backs meadow milk where fresh milk is concerned. This commitment benefits not only the cows, which are able to spend plenty of time out in the fresh air, but also biodiversity and consumers too, who get greater sustainability for the same price.
Out of love for chicks
More respect in egg production
Migros is actively taking action against the widespread killing of chicks.
Robust apple variety
Apples with a better immune system
There are new varieties of apples that are naturally more robust than the conventional varieties. How are these actually created and what makes them more robust?

Going bananas? You bet!
Bananas are more popular than any other fruit. That's why it's all the more important that they are grown sustainably. Migros ensures that this is the case through its WWF banana project in Ecuador and Colombia.

Not all palm oil is the same
Palm oil has a bad reputation. In fact, the sourcing of palm oil is not without its problems. However, it makes an immense difference when sustainably sourced palm oil is used – for people, animals and the rainforests. Migros is making a strong case for this.
Fairtrade roses
Stop and smell the sustainable roses
Roses are a classic among cut flowers. This is why Migros is committed to fairly grown roses.
Sustainable products
Real meat without animal suffering
In an effort to avoid animal suffering and protect the environment, the food industry has been working to create cultured meat for many years. The first such products have already been approved for sale in Singapore and the United States. However, it will still take a little longer in Switzerland. We answer the most important questions.
Sustainable products
More sustainable apples and pears
More protection for the environment and more biodiversity – while continuing to sell the finest apples and pears: Migros is tackling these pip fruit-growing challenges.
Sustainable cosmetics
Migros without microplastics
Microplastics are barely visible – but the consequences of them are enormous. That’s why Migros is setting an example: the Mibelle Group is completely dispensing with the harmful ingredient in its cosmetic products.
