Our Commitment
Miele Canada is committed to protecting and restoring our Canadian Forests. Because trees capture and store carbon, forests are recognized as a leading solution in our fight against rising CO2 levels. They also protect critical wildlife habitat, offer opportunities for recreation and education, and play an important role within indigenous cultural heritage.
Miele supports forest carbon capture in two essential ways; new planting as well as preservation of existing old growth forests. Together, we are making an impact today, and for generations to come.
The Miele Forest Projects
Miele Canada supports forest carbon capture in two essential ways: new tree planting and the preservation of existing old growth forests. New trees take years to develop their carbon-absorbing powers, while mature forests are already doing the job. Both play an important role in our fight against rising CO2 levels and provide homes for a diversity of plants and animals. The Miele Forest projects seek to slow forest losses due to logging and development, as well as restore degraded lands with original native species trees.
Every dishwasher and laundry machine purchased between April 1 and June 30, 2025 supports the preservation and restoration of local Canadian forests.
Ontario Post-Mining Reforestation Project
Rehabilitating degraded land and restoring biodiversity in Greater Sudbury through reforestation efforts.
British Columbia Post-fire Reforestation Project
Restoring wildfire-damaged landscapes in Cariboo, BC, through reforestation and soil rehabilitation.

Trees
Planted
?
The total number of trees planted includes both new tree planting and an estimated equivalent from mature forest conservation. This estimation follows the VM0010 Methodology for Improved Forest Management, using a formula of 10 trees planted per tonne of CO2 offset.

Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative (CFN) is an alliance of Indigenous Nations on the North Pacific Coast of British Columbia—a region known throughout the world as the Great Bear Rainforest. The alliance includes the Wuikinuxv, Haida, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xaix’ais, Nuxalk, Gitga’at, Metlakatla and Gitxaala First Nations.
CFN was created based on a shared commitment and conviction that if a conservation-based economy is to succeed, our active and meaningful participation is essential. In recent years, the CFN has also emerged as a world leader in the sale of carbon credits. These carbon credits provide their Nations with revenue to support sustainable economic initiatives, such as renewable energy projects, eco-tourism, and sustainable fisheries. This revenue also supports social development within the communities, and helps to conserve the largest and most ecologically significant temperate rainforest in the world – the Great Bear Rainforest..
