Switzerland Retailers Ban GM Food

Thumbs up for Switzerland!

The two largest retailers, Migros and Coop, systematically ban all GM food – including meat, poultry and dairy produce from livestock fed on GM feed – in their supermarket brands

Coop and Migros are the most sustainable retailers in the world. This was established by the Munich-based rating agency Oekom Research. Both retailers offer a wide range of products with environmental and social added value.

The independent Munich-based rating agency Oekom Research awarded Coop (first) and Migros (second) the gold medal in sustainability. 130 companies around world were reviewed, however, according to the agency, only eleven of them have a systematic sustainability management programme. Coop has a comprehensive sustainability strategy that includes all areas of the company, from logistics and production facilities to administration and points of sale.
