The Migros Community has a clearly defined policy on remuneration which is set by reference to pre-determined salary bands. These are regularly reviewed and adjusted and must be approved by the Gottlieb and Adele Duttweiler Foundation.

The remuneration model of the Migros Community is simply and clearly structured. Salaries are based directly on rates of pay in the market, and the basic idea of social capital is taken into account when they are determined.

The bonus-free salary system is one of the core values of Migros and is integral to the company’s long-term development. In accordance with these principles, the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board do not receive any other payments or bonuses in respect of their duties with the Migros Community. They are not entitled to any contractually regulated severance pay.
