Miele

Miele, a German-headquartered household appliances and consumer electronics merchant wholesaler, reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 36,046,000 kg CO2e and market-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 5,049,000 kg CO2e for the 2024 reporting year. Scope 3 emissions for the same period were approximately 9,629,589,000 kg CO2e, with approximately 7,897,583,000 kg CO2e attributed to the use of sold products and about 1,327,834,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services.

Miele has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. This target encompasses emissions from its global production and sales sites, including its vehicle fleet, and has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with a 1.5°C warming scenario. Furthermore, Miele is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 15% by 2030, also from a 2019 baseline. The overarching long-term goal is to achieve carbon neutrality across all scopes by 2050. As of 2022, Miele reports being CO2-neutral across all its locations, achieved through measures such as sourcing green electricity and compensating for remaining emissions with high-quality CO2 certificates. The company also continues to invest in energy efficiency and expanding its own renewable power generation.
