Why does Migros advertise sustainability, but produces stuffed animals and toys almost continuously, which you get as a gift after a reasonable number of purchases? I think it's a shame that children are overwhelmed with toys. The joy of individual toys unfortunately diminishes with the masses and they are appreciated less and less. What's more, I don't want to know how much the environment is polluted by the production of such cuddly toys, their distribution to all the stores, and so on. I would very much like to continue shopping regularly at Migros. But I don't really want to support this contradiction and this strategy for much longer.
Another thing that bothers me is all the plastic. I mostly buy organic products. That means I am concerned about health, the environment, etc. So why are cooked organic eggs sold in plastic packaging? Why are organic vegetables sold packaged at all? Couldn't less packaging be used to reduce the impact on the environment?
It is also interesting that there is ketchup with 50% sugar, but organic ketchup with a normal amount of sugar. If you buy organic, do you generally want less sugar or am I wrong?
I have long wanted an organic yoghurt without granulated sugar, but with fruit... and without artificial sugar or other flavor enhancers. Maybe my wish will come true one day...
Well, that just had to be said. :-)
I hope I am heard...;-)

I agree with these words: In addition to plastic packaging, I am annoyed by the annoying organic sticky labels that can hardly be removed from fruit and vegetables because the glue sticks so well (toxins?), whereas conventional vegetables can do without it anyway. Another contradiction of many.
Be honest, you responsible people at Migros. You want more profit and are going over (shop) dead bodies to achieve it. The Migrolino on Zurich's Langstrasse is a demonstration of power; your sustainability marketing campaign is intended to make a profit and was never meant seriously, otherwise you would have banned palm oil, asparagus from Mexico or meat from mass production that despises animals. And unfortunately, the wasteful plastic toys à la Mania, Nanos etc. confirm my suspicions.Dutti would be turning in his grave.

Unfortunately, I can only agree with a heavy heart. You just start with the vegetable compartment and dive straight into more plastic! Why? For what?
It's not just Migros. It's the same at all chains. Only Migros has the opportunity to mention the problem.
Can't Migros let its inventive pioneering spirit blossom as it used to and simply do something about the plastic flood? Please!
The world is going to the dogs and we are doing nothing.
The best thing I saw in a post the other day: sliced apple pieces filled in plastic bags. Are you serious or is this a fake post?

There is plenty of room for improvement, but let's not forget that "Migros" is a fairly large network of people who are certainly not all just chasing money with green washing.
For such a large company, which shares the market almost exclusively with one competitor, it is not easy to make such rudimentary changes. Keyword full range: optimum product variety to appeal to as many customers as possible; constant new launches to keep them... No more imported goods? How many customers would jump ship?
Organic vegetables without packaging - this raises just as many questions: as they are often imported, packaging offers optimum hygiene protection and may already be purchased this way. Banning plastic and labels? Reduce sugar everywhere so that customers still like the taste and don't run to the competition?
All of this takes planning time, creativity, patience - and resources. Let's hope that the right people are in the right position.
By communicating our opinion to Migros here on Migipedia, personally by letter, by starting petitions, a demonstration - I don't know - we can point Migros in the direction we demand.
