Since the company began in 1899, Miele has remained committed to the environment, striving to ensure that they manufacture in a sustainable way, and their products reduce waste and have minimal harm on the planet.

As the world increases its focus on sustainability, they have made a series of environmental pledges that will continue to drive their business, and yours forward. They believe that their future is inextricably linked to their customers, and only together can we begin to solve the challenges facing the planet.

What have Miele pledged?

Pledge 1- They pledge to make sustainability happen at every step of the product life cycle.

New generations of Miele products have been engineered with product enhancements that contribute to sustainability. For example, the Little Giants product range provides a 22 % water saving and a 28 % energy saving (on a Cottons 60 cold water wash) compared to the previous generation.

Pledge 2- Miele are committed to making machines that won’t leave a mark - with the ultimate aim of making them 100 % carbon-neutral

Miele has been using green electricity at all of its locations worldwide since 2021. All unavoidable Scope 1 & 2 emissions are offset via high-quality climate protection projects, making them CO2 neutral across all locations. They are also aiming for all professional machines to be 100 % carbon-neutral.

Miele design their products to be some of the longest lasting in the market and deliver the best performance. All of their products undergo meticulous and rigorous testing. For example their washing machines are tested to 30,000 hours. By creating high-quality, sustainable products they help you to run your business more efficiently and effectively – and help you to achieve your own sustainability goals.

Pledge 3- Miele are committed to ending waste by giving their machines new life

Miele are recognised for their long lasting, high quality products. It’s at the heart of everything they do. That’s why say that sustainability has been part of our ethos from the beginning. This approach is seen in all extensive endurance factory tests that ensure long term reliability of the products. That means they won’t need to be replaced frequently, driving down your own waste. Their highly intensive endurance factory tests see their dishwashers and laundry solutions tested more than 10,000 times and laboratory, medical and dental solutions tested more than 15,000. This ensures the long term reliability of their products.

As your business turns a critical eye to your growing customer demands, you can be confident that Miele Professional is helping to support your long term goals.
