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.

Information about production facilities

Many of our products come from abroad. When sourcing these products, we place great importance on ensuring compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct. In the clothing and household goods (kitchenware, stationery, etc.) categories of Migros supermarket private labels, we go one step further: if we have the consent of our business partners, we make this information publicly accessible.

The following map shows part of the supply chains of our textile, stationery, or household products. It provides details about the production facilities in the final processing stage and indicates when the last compliance check of social standards was conducted.

The data is regularly updated and supplemented.
