Home appliances manufacturer Beko announced a goal to achieve 100% green electricity by 2030 in all of its manufacturing facilities.
The company’s climate strategy addresses Scope 3 emissions, which account for 99% of its total footprint. Approximately 80% of these emissions arise during product use phase, according to its 2024 Integrated Report.
Beko has rapidly scaled up its renewable energy investments, reaching a total installed capacity of 90.2 MWp — an almost 30-fold increase in four years.
The company’s circular economy strategy is driving change across design, production, and end-of-life product use.
Refurbishment is a core enabler of its product lifecycle model. In 2024, the company’s global refurbishment network extended the life of 114,468 appliances. These efforts help customers reduce carbon footprints while extending product utility and reducing e-waste.
Beko also linked executive compensation indirectly to environmental performance. Targets for reducing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, along with supply chain sustainability integration, are included in the scorecards of key C-suite leaders.
The company’s first integrated report aligns with the International Integrated Reporting Framework (IIRC), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS), and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). It includes a double materiality assessment, evaluating both how sustainability issues affect Beko’s business and how Beko’s operations impact society and the environment, combining stakeholders’ perspectives with internal analyses to drive tangible actions.
“Securing a net-zero future requires absolute focus and concrete action,” said Hakan Bulgurlu, CEO of Beko, in a statement. “We are committed to 100% green electricity in manufacturing by 2030 and have dramatically scaled our refurbishment programme. But that’s only part of the story. We’re continuously working to improve water and waste management, drive down emissions across our supply chain, and design products that do more with less. I’m very grateful for our teams and partners who champion these responsible practices, helping us build a greener, more circular economy. This report showcases how Beko embeds sustainability into every decision, from product design to operations and corporate governance, as we work to protect our ‘pale blue dot.'”
