Migros Unites All Its Social Engagement Activities Under One Roof MEDIEN-INFORMATION INFORMATION AUX MÉDIAS INFORMAZIONE STAMPA PRESS RELEASE Migros unites all its social engagement activities under one roof Zurich, April 6, 2021 - The multifaceted social engagement activities of the Migros Group have been brought together and given a joint look and feel. The new umbrella brand «Migros Commitment» includes offers and services associated with the Migros Culture Percentage, the newly renamed Migros Pioneer Fund (formerly the Engagement Migros development fund) and the Migros Aid Fund. The move is designed to make these unique services even more accessible to a broad swathe of the Swiss public. To launch the new «Migros Commitment» umbrella brand, the three support vessels, namely the Migros Culture Percentage, Migros Pioneer Fund and Migros Aid Fund, have not only been given a new digital home (www.migros-engagement.ch/en), but also new logos that underline their common bond. From now on, all Migros Group social engagement projects and issues will be communicated via the new joint platform. The spectrum of their activities ranges from access to culture, education and health to projects focusing on living together, climate and resources, as well as technology and ethics. «We want to make our wide-ranging social engagement offers even more accessible to a broad swathe of the Swiss public», says Sarah Kreienbühl, a member of the FMC Executive Board and the Head of the HR, Communications, Culture, Leisure Department, before adding that «we are convinced that access to culture, education, health and multifaceted social offers strengthens social cohesion and makes an important contribution to mastering the challenges of our time together.» ((Box)) The history of social engagement at Migros Since the Migros Culture Percentage was founded in 1957, Migros has invested some CHF 5 billion into Swiss society. The idea for this stems back to Migros founder Gottlieb Duttweiler and his wife Adele. Together, they saw Migros' voluntary social engagement as a separate business purpose and an objective on a par with economic success. This makes Migros Commitment unique worldwide in terms of its variety, independence, and stability. Migros' social initiatives have also included the Migros Aid Fund since 1979 and the Migros Pioneer Fund (formerly the Engagement Migros development fund) since 2012. From now on, all the voluntary social engagement activities of the Migros Group will be united under the new umbrella brand Migros Commitment. The three support vessels will otherwise remain unchanged and continue to provide their tried-and-tested help. About the Migros Culture Percentage The Migros Culture Percentage supports cultural and social initiatives and offers a wide range of activities for a broad swathe of the Swiss public. In addition to traditional programs, it also addresses forward-looking social issues in a targeted manner. The Migros Culture Percentage also includes the Migros Club School, the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, the Migros Museum for Contemporary Art, four «Parks im Grünen» (green meadow parks) and the Monte Generoso railway. In all, the Migros Culture Percentage invests more than CHF 140 million a year.

Box 1766 CH-8031 Zurich MEDIEN-INFORMATION INFORMATION DES MÉDIAS INFORMAZIONE STAMPA PRESS RELEASE About the Migros Pioneer Fund The Engagement Migros development fund will henceforth be known as the Migros Pioneer Fund. Its mission and promotional approach will remain unchanged. The new name is simply designed to explain even more precisely what the Migros Pioneer Fund has been doing since its launch in 2012: Finding pioneering projects with social potential and helping them through aid and support as well as the necessary funding. This year, the Migros Pioneer Fund will reach a new milestone: Sometime over the course of the year it will have supported 100 projects to the tune of about CHF 100 million. Two examples include the «Stop Hate Speech» project and «Make Furniture Circular». The Migros Pioneer Fund is itself funded by 10% of the dividends of Migros subsidiaries, including Denner, Migros Bank, Migrol and migrolino. About the Migros Aid Fund The Migros Aid Fund has been promoting social and environmental projects in Switzerland and abroad since 1979. To this end, the ten regional cooperatives of Migros donate an annual CHF 1 million. Every year, about 20 projects run by well-known international development organizations are provided financial assistance. The Migros Aid Fund enables projects that benefit people and the environment and are characterized by a professional and sustainable approach. These projects often focus on disadvantaged groups such as women, children and adolescents.

  • Joint Statement in English
    Doñana Berries and Sustainable Water Management Group Joint Statement 15 September 2016 Doñana Berries and Sustainable Water Management Group - Coordinated by the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform (SAI Platform) - Composed of: Ahold Delhaize, Coop Switzerland, Group Danone, Edeka, innocent, The Coca-Cola Company, Marks & Spencer, Migros, Sainsbury’s, SVZ, Tesco and Unilever The Doñana Berries and Sustainable Water Management Group supports WWF’s campaign 2016 “Together, saving our shared heritage: Doñana” and welcomes the initiative as a means of reinforcing the work that it has been undertaking for over two years. The group consists of a consortium of retailers, food companies and processing companies who buy over 20% of berries produced in Doñana. WWF is very valued supporter of the group. As highlighted by WWF in the new campaign, there are several areas of concern regarding water management and nature preservation in the Doñana region (habitat, biodiversity, soil), and we support all the stakeholders who are taking action to address the various concerns. We believe that without addressing the situation now, continued pressure might ultimately lead to severe environmental degradation of the ecosystem and in particular the Doñana National Park. With regard to farming, the growth of berry production in the region has created numerous jobs and generated considerable socio-economic value, but it has also put strain on water resources. In order to protect water resources while sustaining berry production, employment and farmers’ livelihoods in the region, urgent work is needed to improve and implement water and environmental governance - including the Land Use Plan (Plan de Ordenación de la Corona Forestal Doñana) issued by the Government of Andalucía - and to adopt sustainable and efficient water management practices.

  • Analyzing the Retail Structure Change of Izmir-Turkey: Integrative And
    Mert Kompil & H. Murat Çelik Analyzing the Retail Structure Change of Izmir-Turkey 42nd ISOCARP Congress 2006 ANALYZING THE RETAIL STRUCTURE CHANGE OF IZMIR- TURKEY: INTEGRATIVE AND DISINTEGRATIVE ASPECTS OF LARGE-SCALE RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS INTRODUCTION The urban retail sector and retail environments have experienced radical changes in the last decades. With no doubt, most of the challenges are due to the changing demographic, social, economic and physical conditions of the world. As the sector has altered in terms scale, organization, and its geographical representation, many countries have introduced the emergence of new-innovative store formats, the development of large-scale out-of-town retail environments and the appearance of new consumption patterns as well. The first signs of the retail transformations have seen in the developed countries after the Second World War. With the rising affluence combined with a set demographic, technological, and life-style changes, the structure of the retail trade has changed drastically in the following decades. New store types and retail formats such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, shopping centers and specialty stores at larger scales as multiple establishments have been developed with different spatial and locational formats. Although there are numerous forces associated with this shift, the most important ones are the suburbanization of population growth, increased personal mobility and car ownership, being widespread usage of deep freeze and credit cards, rising demand for consumption goods, and changes in transportation, electronics and computer technologies (see extensive reviews on retail change in Dawson (1980), Guy (1994), Bromley and Thomas (1993), Rogers, (1984), McGoldrick (1984) etc.). Rapid transformations have continued after 1980s and retail sector has adopted itself to globalized economic structure and internationalization learning to perform in conditions of competition, economies of scale and technology intensive development.
