Notably, Migros has committed that 67% of its suppliers, based on emissions from purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by 2026. In the long term, Migros is targeting a 90% reduction in both Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050, alongside a similar 90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions. The company has also pledged to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. Furthermore, Migros is committed to no deforestation in its supply chain for commodities linked to deforestation by the end of 2025. These initiatives reflect Migros's dedication to sustainability and its alignment with industry standards for climate action, contributing to global efforts to mitigate climate change.
