Beko earns the highest ESG score in the DHP Household Durables Industry in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment

The company's standing among 45 companies in the DHP Household Durables Industry reaffirms its position as a key benchmark within the industry.

This recognition comes as Beko also celebrates the approval of its science-based climate targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These validated targets are designed to tackle climate change with precise, measurable goals and represent a significant step forward for both Beko and the home appliance industry as a whole.

Beko has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. As part of its near-term objectives, the company is targeting a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 42% cut in Scope 3 emissions from product use by 2030, compared to its 2022 baseline.

Reflecting on the company's consistent recognition in the S&P Global CSA, CEO Hakan Bulgurlu said, "Achieving net-zero emissions in line with the 1.5°C climate pathway is our ultimate priority. To realize this vision, we are continuously developing advanced technologies to improve the energy efficiency of our products while reducing carbon emissions. At the same time, we are scaling up investments in renewable energy and bolstering our capabilities. It is rewarding to see these efforts recognized globally as proof that we are on the right track. Sustainability is not just a goal—it's a responsibility we owe to our business, our planet, and to future generations."
