The Migros Group is the largest retailer in Switzerland and is the country’s biggest private employer with over 99,000 employees. Migros is owned by a federation of 10 regional cooperatives with over 2 million members.
They operate the core business of the Migros Group – retail. Today, a large part of its seafood comes from sustainable sources. One important step towards achieving this goal was that the retailer has decided to change the whole of its own brand tinned range to pole-and-line caught skipjack tuna. Referred to as “der orange Riese”, the orange giant, Migros is Switzerland’s largest retail company. With their entire tinned own brand range being pole-and-line skipjack, this is a retailer you can trust.
The Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund (MGB) coordinates the activities of Migros, determines its strategy and represents the Migros Community to the outside world. As a Migros service provider, it is responsible for covering the needs of the regional Cooperatives through a system of combined purchasing and production, as well as by establishing or acquiring participatory interests and subsidiary companies of all kinds.
