It’s marketing. They are donating $100m to fight climate change. Since much of their brand targets eco conscious yuppies, that is equivalent to $100m in targeted marketing. I’m glad they’re doing it but they are not a nonprofit. They still very much aim to make lots of money for their investors and board members.

I have a Miele espresso maker. It sucks and breaks constantly. It’s also very high maintenance. Looks like their washing machines might be better.
