Country of origin - Switzerland
I regularly look explicitly for products that are produced in Switzerland. To do this, I am reliant on these indications of origin being correct. It is a mystery to me how it is possible for Decatlon to have 25 men's sneakers under CHF 50 on sale that state Switzerland as their country of origin. ON does not produce shoes in Switzerland either. After all, the company is in Switzerland. Even the original Swiss sneaker company Künzli is not able to manufacture its shoes in Switzerland for economic reasons. At least here the shoes are produced in Europe and do not come from the Far East. Incidentally, these shoes are not available for less than CHF 200. Quite expensive! But that's the price if we want products that have been produced under fair conditions for the workers and the environment and have short transport routes. That's why I expect a company like Digitec/Galaxus to clarify the country of origin. Incidentally, since this year I have also been avoiding American products and products from American companies as much as possible.
