Migros creates its own directorate for social commitment
Migros is restructuring: social commitment, previously part of the HR department, is being bundled into an independent directorate. Andrea Krapf, currently Head of the Human Resources Management (HRM) department, will take over the new unit and step down from the Executive Board.
The Migros Group Human Resources Management Directorate and the quality organizations SQTS and Quality Management will remain in the previous department. The newly created Directorate for Social Commitment includes the Directorate for Society & Culture, Miduca AG and the Park im Grünen and Ferrovia Monte Generoso AG foundations. In future, it will report directly to the President of the Executive Board, Mario Irminger.
Irminger emphasizes the merits of Andrea Krapf, who is taking over as Director of Social Engagement: "Andrea Krapf has built bridges within Migros, created trust and strengthened cooperation." Under her leadership, the AHV21 pension reform was implemented at Migros and a national social plan was adopted for the first time.
Change of focus after more than 20 years
The 55-year-old Krapf, who has held various positions at Migros since 2001, says of her new role: "After more than two decades in a variety of management positions, I am delighted to be able to focus on social commitment." She will remain at the head of the HR department until the handover.
The changes are to be implemented by the end of 2025, and a successor is now being sought for the department that will focus on the future.
