Migros mega slaughterhouse endangers the water supply of the Broye region

no name given · Greenpeace Schweiz · 2026-08-26 · Zuerich · Source

The planned industrial slaughterhouse of Migros is unsuitable for its location, as its enormous water consumption endangers the scarce resources of the Broye region and violates ecological responsibility.

If Migros really wants to "take responsibility", it must sell at least 60 percent plant-based proteins by 2035 and forgo its mega slaughterhouse.

The text criticises Migros's plans to build a large slaughterhouse in St-Aubin, as it would consume around 1.4 million litres of water per day. Greenpeace Switzerland argues that this would further exacerbate the already existing water scarcity in the Broye region, particularly during heat waves. The contradiction is pointed out that Migros on the one hand supports farmers during droughts, but on the other hand pushes forward a water-intensive project. The text refers to high water consumption values in broiler farming compared to plant-based foods. It is demanded that Migros sell at least 60 percent plant-based proteins by 2035 and forgo the construction. The complaint against the building permit is considered necessary in order to comply with water, climate, and nature protection laws. The text appeals to the company's responsibility to spare the water resources of the region.
