I make sure that my purchases are sustainable and that the products are from Switzerland, but I think it's a shame that things like from the region for the region and Iam Naturally Cosmetic are not included in the list, where you can see how sustainable your purchases are based on your Cumuls card. If only organic, Alnatura, UTZ etc. are included, can't that be changed?

I can't tell you why the "I am Natural Cosmetics" products are not included in these statistics. In the case of products under the label "From the region. For the region." label, it is probably because they are only registered in the respective cooperative in which they are offered, i.e. they are not recorded centrally throughout Switzerland, and this data cannot therefore be included in the statistics.

Hello RogerLie The following labels are part of the Cumulus sustainability share: Migros Bio, Migros Bio Garden, Migros Bio Cotton, Terra Suisse, MSC, ASC, FSC, Utz, Max Havelaar, Topten, Alnatura, eco. All selected labels offer proven added value in terms of ecological sustainability. The selection was made in collaboration with the WWF and aims to demonstrate environmentally friendly choices in as many areas of consumption as possible. All selected labels are checked by external bodies with regard to various sustainability criteria, such as the use of fertilizers. The label "From the region. For the region." does not count towards the Cumulus sustainability share. "From the region. For the region." is first and foremost a label of origin. This means that the products and the ingredients of the products come largely from the region in question. This label is also regularly checked by external bodies. However, in terms of compliance with specifications regarding origin, production method and added value. However, not with regard to the defined sustainability criteria. This is the reason why the label was not included in the Cumulus sustainability share. Best regards, Peter

I think it is absolutely wrong that the CoR products are not included in the sustainability index. An apple from the neighbouring farmer (even if not organic) is still much more sustainable than an organic apple from New Zealand. The statistics are therefore almost not to be taken seriously and it seems more like a sales promotion of products with labels that allow Migros a higher margin.

Hello ThomySchneider Thank you for your comment. As already mentioned in the past, all selected labels are checked by external bodies with regard to various sustainability criteria such as the use of fertilizers. The reason why the label was not included in the Cumulus sustainability share is that the label "From the region. For the region" label is primarily a label of origin and is not checked for the defined sustainability criteria, i.e. the products and the ingredients of the products largely originate from the region in question. Of course, the label is also regularly checked by external bodies, but for compliance with specifications regarding origin, type of production and added value, for example. However, as we want to constantly develop and improve, I will be happy to receive your feedback and pass it on to the responsible body. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any information about the subsequent measures/adjustments - thank you for your understanding. Best regards Sofia

What about all the new V-Love products? Are they not sustainable because production/packaging/ingredients are "only" vegan, but not sustainable? To be honest, that makes me wonder...
