1 Energy & Climate Saving energy and protecting the environment are very important to Migros, both in production and in retail. In 214, Migros stepped up its efforts to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and made its branches even more environmentally friendly. Migros is aiming to become the number one retailer for climate protection and energy saving. To this end, it strives for two things: on the one hand, it wants to lead by example with comprehensive measures in the area of resource preservation and energy efficiency. On the other hand, it also wants to support its customers in their own efforts to protect the environment. M-Industry and the other Migros companies are also committed to climate protection. This commitment revolves around specific energy- and CO2-reduction targets that will be pursued more intensively over the coming years. Ambitious 22 climate & energy strategy Migros' commitment to energy and climate is guided primarily by the 22 climate and energy strategy (KES22). The strategy is binding for all Migros companies and pursues ambitious targets to reduce energy consumption and environmentally harmful emissions. On the basis of KES22, individual targets have been set for the different areas of Migros. Cooperative Retailing As part of KES22, Cooperative Retailing has set itself the ambitious targets of using 1% less power and emitting 2% less greenhouse gases between 21 and 22. By reducing greenhouse gases by twice as much as Switzerland as a whole within this period, Migros is making an above-average contribution to the government's energy strategy and Swiss climate protection. Migros is aiming to use 1% less power and emit 2% less greenhouse gases than 21 by 22. To reach its ambitious targets, Migros is relying in particular on energy-efficient systems, optimised use of equipment, efficient cooling technology with heat recovery, as well as on the Minergie standard [ Good progress was made in 214: Cooperative Retailing has reduced power consumption by 5.% in absolute terms since 21. In the same period, greenhouse gas emissions have been cut by as much as 15%. Considerable progress has been made in the branches in particular, due to the use of efficient CO2 cooling systems, glass doors on refrigeration cabinets, and LED lighting. Restaurants & take-aways Migros takes energy efficiency seriously in its restaurants and take-aways. Due to the powerful equipment, this is an energy intensive area with lots of potential to reduce power consumption. The implementation of KES 22 in the restaurants and take-aways relates to three areas in particular: staff behaviour, efficient food and beverage machines, and an efficient infrastructure (cooling, lighting, ventilation and building aspects). In 214, staff training sessions to optimise energy efficiency were held in all Cooperatives. Migros Group The 14 companies of M-Industry pursue climate and energy targets relating to specific reductions per tonne produced. The industrial enterprises are aiming to reduce power consumption by.7% a year and heat consumption by 1.8% per tonne produced. CO2 emissions from fuels are to be reduced by 1% in absolute terms between 21 and 22. In 214, M-Industry is partially in course; while the power consumption increased towards 213 by 2.5% per tonne produced, the heat consumption was reduced by 2.7% per tonne produced; CO2 emissions from fuel fell by 9% in absolute terms in comparison to 21. In addition, all M-Industry companies operate an environmental management system and are aiming to become certified according to the international environmental management standard ISO 141 in the coming years.

2 Since April 214, corporate environmental protection has also been a component of the basic requirements that apply to all companies of the Migros Group. These allow all Migros companies to be gradually incorporated into the energy and environmental management. The retailers Globus and Interio pursue individual environmental and energy targets in the areas of logistics, waste and energy. They aim to achieve these targets with measures such as optimised lighting and efficient ventilation and cooling systems. Other Migros companies, such as Denner, Migros Bank and Hotelplan, are expanding their environmental and energy management.

Migros stopped using CFC several years ago. As a refilling ban also came into force for HCFC in January 215, Migros phased out a large proportion of HCFC in the reporting year. As an alternative to synthetic refrigerants, it is focusing strongly on carbon dioxide (CO2) and using it as the standard refrigerant in new cooling systems. This refrigerant, which occurs naturally in the environment, is recycled from industrial processes and does not put any additional burden on the climate. In 214, Migros used the natural refrigerant CO2 to operate more than 455 of the 2' systems in its branches. Around a third of all branches have at least one CO2 cooling system. For its efforts in the area of environmentally friendly refrigerants, Migros was again named a Green Cooling Leader by the Environmental Investigation Agency in the reporting year. With innovative cooling units (e.g. refrigeration cabinets with glass doors) and better plug-in refrigerators, power consumption can be reduced considerably in the branches. In 211, Migros became the first retailer in Switzerland to use glass doors on its refrigeration cabinets, reducing power consumption by 3% to 45%. 167 branches have since been fitted with glass doors (fully or partially), with more conversions to follow. This corresponds to 5'4 running metres of cooling units. For its efforts in the area of environmentally friendly refrigerants, Migros was again named a Green Cooling Leader by the Environmental Investigation Agency in 214. Alongside the fixed cooling units, various mobile ones are also used in the supermarkets, such as for drinks. Power consumption can be reduced by up to 8% with plug-in refrigerators. In 214, Migros Zurich (MCZ) changed 22 freezers as part of a major replacement programme. It is planning to replace more devices before 216. The energy saving amounts to almost 1'' kwh a year, which corresponds to 1.3% of the power required by all MCZ branches or by more than 25 households.

5 Logistics enterprises CO2 cooling systems in the branches Number of systems Freezer systems Fridge systems Active promotion of renewable energy Migros not only reduces its greenhouse gas emissions through better energy efficiency but also by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. Nine logistics centres already use heat from wood, geothermal heat or district heating from incineration plants. In 214, Migros Verteilbetriebe Neuendorf AG launched an ambitious project, thanks to which CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 85% through substituting heating oil with refrigeration waste heat. The share of renewable energies in the total heat consumption of Migros is 15.5%. Migros also procures renewable power directly. In 214, it procured 3 GWh of green power with the labels naturemade star and basic. A total of 45 solar power plants with an installed output of 16'817 kilowatts peak can be found on the roofs of Migros buildings. Migros also actively promotes the production of renewable power by building solar power plants. A total of 45 solar power plants with an installed output of 16'817 kilowatts can be found on the roofs of Migros buildings. They generate some 16'151 MWh of power annually, which corresponds to the power consumption of around 3'5 detached houses. Solar energy at the Neuendorf distribution centre In 213, the Migros distribution centre in Neuendorf put a photovoltaic system with a surface area of around 32' m2 (equivalent to 123 tennis courts) into operation on its roofs. The system generated 5'5' kilowatt hours of power in 214, enough to supply 15 households. As a result, the distribution centre currently boasts the largest solar power plant in Switzerland an achievement that earned it the 214 Swiss Solar Award Diploma.

8 As buildings now account for more than half of Switzerland's energy consumption, Migros makes a big commitment to sustainable construction. In 212, it co-founded the Swiss Network of Sustainable Construction, which is dedicated to enhancing cooperation between the economy, public sector, education, politics and science in the area of sustainable construction. Migros has set itself the target of making all new buildings and conversions of Migros branches even more environmentally friendly and building them in accordance with the sustainable construction standard Nachhaltiges Bauen Migros from the start of 214. In the reporting year, more than 8 new buildings or conversions had been or were being constructed in accordance with the standard. The standard, which was developed together with sustainability experts, takes into account aspects such as energy, material ecology, nature and landscape. In the field of energy, it is not just about promoting renewable energies but also about keeping power consumption as low as possible, such as by using LED lighting. Furthermore, all branches are required to implement the Minergie standard and use the waste heat from cooling units. In addition, environmentally friendly materials are used in the construction of new buildings. At the same time, the standard promotes the creation of near-natural habitats in the surroundings of Migros buildings. On the green areas of company and leisure facilities, for example, wild flower meadows, dry walls and hedges with local shrubs are being created to serve as a habitat for animals and plants. 327' m2 of near-natural habitats have already been certified. In the interest of biodiversity, Migros is aiming to create at least 2 million square metres of near-natural habitat by the end of 215. In the reporting year, 6 company premises and more than 327' m2 were certified as near-natural habitat by the Nature & Business Foundation. In addition, Switzerland's first near-natural residential complex was certified. It is owned by the Migros Pension Fund. Further information LED as standard LED lighting has been used as standard in the Migros supermarkets since 213, as well as in the specialist markets since 214 [ LED technology is also used as standard in all new buildings and conversions. In the reporting year, 236 supermarkets (38%) and 66 specialist markets (28%) were partially equipped with LED lights, with more to follow in 215. Climate-friendly products Migros configures its product range in a way that gives customers a wide selection of climate-friendly and energy-efficient products. Products that are particularly climate friendly carry the «Topten [ label. Certified Migros cooling technology The British Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) regularly audits the environmental acceptability of cooling technology in European retail. Out of 2 companies audited in 214, nine including Migros were named as a Green Cooling Leader [ Solar energy at the Marin shopping centre As part of its sustainability strategy, Migros Neuchatel-Fribourg installed the canton's largest solar power plant [ on the roof of the Marin shopping centre in 214. It consists of 4 photovoltaic modules with a total surface area of 641 m2, the same as 24 tennis courts.
