Sustainable development strategy
Migros does not disclose a sustainable development strategy that includes sustainable development objectives and targets, nor an identification and prioritisation process to determine the topics where it has the most impact.

Governance and accountability for sustainable development
Migros does not disclose the governance structure for the implementation of its sustainable development strategy or targets, such as the person, team or committee that holds ultimate responsibility for its implementation.

Stakeholder engagement
The company does not disclose stakeholder engagement activities, including how it selects the stakeholders, nor an overview of the topics discussed or their outcomes.

Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions
While Migros discloses quantitative evidence to demonstrate that it is reducing its scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, it has an opportunity to strengthen its commitment by setting targets and reporting against them.

Animal welfare
While Migros has a commitment on animal welfare which addresses animal welfare issues in its supply chain, it does not disclose that it addresses specific animal welfare issues for its relevant key species.

Food loss and waste
While the company is addressing food loss and waste in its own operations, such as initiatives to increase the shelf life of fruit and vegetables, it has an opportunity to disclose a commitment by setting targets to reduce food loss and waste across its own operations and supply chain and reporting against these targets.

Availability of healthy foods
The company does not provide evidence of improving the nutritional quality of its products and of proportionally increasing the sales of healthy and nutritious foods.

Clear and transparent labelling
The company does not disclose that it provides nutritional information through clear, transparent and accurate labelling.

Food safety
The company does not disclose evidence of ensuring safe food for consumers through compliance with national regulations or the Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene, nor an effective food safety certification scheme.

Child labour
The company does not disclose a commitment to prohibit child labour in its operations and supply chain.

Forced labour
The company does not disclose a commitment to prohibit forced labour in its operations and supply chain.

Living wage
The company does not disclose that it pays its workers a living wage or requires its suppliers to do the same. Neither has it set targets to do so in the future.

Although Migros has a grievance mechanism that is accessible to employees, the company does not disclose if the mechanism is accessible to all external individuals and communities who may be adversely impacted by the company. In addition, the company does not explicitly commit to respect nor does expect its supply chain partners to commit to respect human rights and core labour rights, as freedom of association, collective bargaining, and prohibiting forced labour and child labour. Furthermore, Migros demonstrates a lack of disclosure on how to assess and address its most salient human rights issues in its own operations and supply chain, as well as on the categories of stakeholders whose human rights have been or may be affected by its activities.

Migros publicly commits to respect the health and safety of workers and it discloses the proportion of its total direct operations workforce covered by collective bargaining agreements. However, there is an opportunity for Migros to strengthen its requirements for its supply chain partners on health and safety and collective bargaining, as well as its disclosure on quantitative information on health and safety for its workers. Additionally, no commitment and disclosure on key metrics in relation to other decent work topics – such as living wage, working hours, and gender equality- were found in the public domain.

The company publicly commits to protecting personal data and to prohibiting bribery and corruption. However, it can strengthen its performance by disclosing a privacy statement on the use of personal data, while taking steps to identify and address bribery and corruption issues also within its supply chain. Additionally, the company does not disclose that it has a confidential and anonymous channel/mechanism accessible to all stakeholders to raise bribery and corruption concerns and complaints without fear of reprisals. No relevant commitments and disclosure on other key ethical business topics – tax and lobbying and political engagement – were found in the public domain.
