Beyond the garment
Through 1% for the Planet, every Milana purchase supports the world our children are growing into.
Where our responsibility extends
Milana Label is a certified member of 1% for the Planet, a global network of businesses committed to donating one percent of annual revenue to environmental causes. Every purchase contributes directly to that commitment.
Our giving focuses on causes that reflect what we believe in: protecting the natural world and educating the next generation to care for it. We partner with organizations doing measurable, long-term work in these areas, and we are transparent about who they are and why we chose them.
Who they are
Education Partner: EcoSchools
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
EcoSchools Canada is a national charity that brings environmental learning into schools across the country. Their certification program supports educators and students in taking meaningful climate action, not as a lesson plan, but as a way of operating. Reducing waste, conserving energy, connecting to the natural world. Practices that become habits, and habits that become values.
Their program is free for publicly funded schools and reaches over 66,000 teachers, 2,000 schools, and 175 boards and districts from coast to coast. It is one of the most established environmental education networks in Canada, and one of the few that measures its impact rather than just claiming it.
Why we chose them
For Milana, this partnership reflects our belief that sustainability begins with awareness. Choosing better materials and more responsible production matters deeply to us, but so does what comes next. The children wearing our pieces will one day make their own choices about the world they live in, and we want them to be equipped to make good ones.
EcoSchools Canada supports that longer arc. By helping students and educators build genuine environmental knowledge and confidence, they are nurturing a generation that understands not just what to do, but why it matters. Just as we encourage families to choose with care today, EcoSchools is helping children grow into adults who choose with care tomorrow.
That felt worth being part of.
Care beyond the collection
This is what responsibility looks like for us. Not a campaign or a seasonal initiative, but a steady commitment to the people, places, and futures connected to everything we make.
We do not believe change starts with perfection. It starts with care, shown consistently and thoughtfully over time. Through the materials we choose, the partners we support, and the way we build this brand, we aim to give back more than we take and ensure that every piece we create contributes to something larger than itself.
This is only the beginning.
