SUSTAINABLE<br />
APPROACH<br />
Adopting a responsible and sustainable approach is a<br />
fundamental principle for M-Industry. For Gottlieb Duttweiler<br />
himself, the founder of Migros, it was always more than just<br />
profit. People were at the heart of it all for him and his<br />
business, keeping the well being of society in mind. Today,<br />
these values remain very much at the heart of the corporate<br />
culture at Migros, and therefore of M-Industry too. M-Industry<br />
actively advocates fair working conditions, appropriate regard<br />
for animal welfare, and an effective protection of the environment<br />
and global climate. Its production is energy efficient, the<br />
traceability of raw materials and products is guaranteed, and<br />
its processes are transparent. The majority of its goods are<br />
even transported by rail.<br />
Ecological and social<br />
For the sourcing and manufacture of its products, M-Industry<br />
ensures that high ecological, social and ethical standards<br />
are maintained. Its businesses, for example, produce ecological<br />
products that are certified in accordance with the strict<br />
Bio Suisse guidelines, or for the Migros TerraSuisse label,<br />
which gives special consideration to aspects including<br />
biodiversity. M-Industry is also making a name for itself with<br />
its particularly energy-efficient – and thus climate-friendly –<br />
innovations.<br />
Social and ecological standards are reflected at M-Industry<br />
by Max Havelaar and UTZ Certified fair trade products. The<br />
Business Social Compliance Initiative, BSCI for short, follows<br />
similar criteria. The BSCI was initiated by Migros and<br />
advocates sound working conditions among all its suppliers<br />
around the world. All M-Industry suppliers are bound by this<br />
initiative. M-Industry also promotes the environmentally<br />
compatible cultivation of palm oil and soy. To this end, Migros<br />
was a cofounder, together with the WWF, of the Roundtable<br />
on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Migros is also a member<br />
of the Round Table on Responsible Soy Association (RTRS).<br />
High priority for food safety<br />
M-Industry also demonstrates responsibility when it comes<br />
to food safety. All M-Industry businesses are certified under<br />
one of the internationally recognized standards by the Global<br />
Food Safety Initiative. This improves food safety and raises<br />
levels of confidence among customers.<br />
