How we provide support
The Social Commitment Migros Group Directorate of the Federation of Migros Cooperatives decides on Migros’ social commitment on a national scale. Our topics and priorities reflect the latest trends and respond to a public or cultural need. Our modus operandi is agile and unbureaucratic, and we create solution-led, precise, effective programmes. We develop low-threshold proposals that are accessible to a wide audience, but also create targeted offers of support for operators and pioneers. In doing so, we help to transform society.
