Ethical, ecological and social food production

Our IP-SUISSE meadow milk, for example, comes from cows that feed mainly on grass on the pasture in summer and mainly on hay and grass silage in winter. Concentrated feed is fed very sparingly and the use of soy is prohibited. In addition, we are committed to only using fish and seafood that meets the recommendations of WWF Switzerland. To this end, we have our range regularly checked by WWF Switzerland and do not use any products that are classified as "not recommended".

• The following products in our restaurants always come from IP-Suisse or organic cultivation: whole milk, natural yoghurt, carrots, white quinoa (IP-Suisse); tofu and bananas (organic)
• We only use fish and seafood that is classified as "highly recommended", "recommended" or "acceptable" according to WWF Switzerland (score 1-3). 80% of our shopping basket comes from the "highly recommended" or "recommended" categories (score 1 - 2).
• 72% of our fish and seafood is MSC or ASC certified (2020)

In terms of animal welfare, the IP-SUISSE label includes the basic requirements of BTS/RAUS, which means that the animals benefit from regular outdoor exercise, more space and littered lying areas. In addition, the label ensures that farms are inspected at least once a year and that all products are certified by the independent body ProCert.

• We do not use products from cruel animal production
• We do not use products from animals that have been treated with hormones or antimicrobial performance enhancers (AML)
• All of our chicken, beef, veal and pork comes from Switzerland
• 70% of our Swiss meat comes from particularly animal-friendly livestock farming (BTS) and with regular outdoor access (RAUS) - successive conversion to the stricter IP Suisse label since March 2023
• Lamb and game come 100% from Europe
• We use the whole animal wherever possible (utilization rate: 80 percent)
• Use of organic Bruderhahn products in selected restaurants
