Principles
Cooperative Governance is a key element of Migros’ culture. Proper, diligent management of the Federation of Migros Cooperatives (FMC) is one of the core responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board. As decision makers, they are well aware of their economic, social and environmental responsibilities to all stakeholders. These conduct directives also reflect the will and legacy of Migros founder Gottlieb Duttweiler.
The Board of Directors (supervisory board) and the Executive Board (executive management) of the FMC attach great importance to good corporate governance. Those who take the decisions are constantly striving to find the right balance between the conflicting priorities in the expectations of the Cooperative members, employees, customers, consumers and business partners. To live up to this ambitious goal, Migros, as the number one company in Swiss retailing, is guided by the needs of all stakeholders. Open communication and maximum transparency are both part of this.
