- Commitment to be a net zero company by 2050 with ambitious 2030 targets including using 100% green electricity in all manufacturing facilities
- 114,468 products refurbished in 2024
- 61.9% of turnover from energy-efficient products; 71.5% from low-carbon products
ISTANBUL, July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Beko, a leader in home appliances, launched its 2024 Integrated Report, themed around scientist Carl Sagan's profound depiction of Earth as the "pale blue dot." The metaphor underscores our planet's fragility and our collective duty to "preserve and cherish the only home we've ever known."
In a world in flux—at a time when sustainability is losing priority in boardrooms—Beko remains steadfast. Its purpose is clear: to inspire sustainable living in every home. This purpose is backed by concrete actions, including a pathway to 100% green electricity by 2030 and a global refurbishment network that extended the life of over 114,000 appliances in 2024.
As a recognized sustainability leader, earning the highest score in its industry in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment for the sixth consecutive year[i], Beko remains resolved in its commitment to both people and planet. The company was recently ranked 17th among the world's most sustainable companies by TIME Magazine and Statista, topping in its industry and appearing on the list for the second time. These achievements highlight Beko's robust climate strategy, alongside its continued progress in ESG transparency, product efficiency, supply chain responsibility, and social inclusion.
The first of its kind from Beko, the 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. This approach reflects the company's long-term strategy—affirming that sustainability is not solely a business priority but a shared global imperative.
Hakan Bulgurlu, CEO of Beko, said: "Securing a net-zero future requires absolute focus and concrete action. 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'."
Celebrating 70 years of innovation, Beko continues to lead with purpose and consistency, keeping sustainability at its core:
- Beko is on a path to Net Zero by 2050, with bold interim targets including using 100% green electricity in all manufacturing facilities by 2030. The company's climate strategy addresses Scope 3 emissions—which account for 99% of its total footprint, with approximately 80% arising during product use phase.
- Beko has rapidly scaled up its renewable energy investments, reaching a total installed capacity of 90.2 MWp—an almost 30-fold increase in just four years.
- Beko's circular economy strategy is driving transformation 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 has embedded sustainability into its leadership DNA by linking 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.
As a member of and signatory to multiple global initiatives, Beko demonstrates its commitment to collaborative climate action. The integrated report is a call to action for stakeholders to unite in preserving Earth's sustainability. For a comprehensive view of Beko's initiatives, visit https://www.bekocorporate.com/.

Beko Scales Up Climate Action with Green Electricity and Refurbishment
Beko Scales Up Climate Action with Green Electricity and Refurbishment
An open call for schools, companies and communities across Hong Kong to participate
HONG KONG, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Earth Day, on 22 April, is recognised globally as a day for environmental awareness and action. It is a moment to reflect on our relationship with nature and the climate, and to turn concern into practical steps at home, at school, and at work. It also serves as a reminder to care for our shared home—and that when many people take small actions together, the collective impact can be significant.
To mark Earth Day, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is launching Dress Green Day 2026, inviting schools, organisations, corporates and the wider community across Hong Kong to join Dress Green Day – a simple, inclusive participation initiative designed to make Earth Day visible in everyday life, and to encourage practical actions that can continue beyond a single day.
Why Dress Green: A Visible Reminder to Act
Dress Green Day uses a simple signal – wearing green – to create a visible, shared moment across the city. TNC emphasises that wearing green alone does not solve the environmental crisis; it is intentionally symbolic — serving as a signal and reminder that environmental responsibility starts with awareness and daily choices.
In a dense, fast‑paced city like Hong Kong, small, visible cues can be powerful—whether it is a green T‑shirt, a reusable bottle, a green accessory or even a simple pin—prompting reflection, conversation and action, both individually and collectively.
To move beyond symbolism, participants are encouraged to complete "One Green Act" on Earth Day. Examples include bringing a reusable bottle, cup or lunchbox; reducing waste and refusing single‑use plastics; choosing public transport or walking shorter distances; saving energy by switching off lights or setting air‑conditioning responsibly; recycling properly; taking a nature walk to reconnect with the environment; choosing greener meals; reusing items at home and in the workplace. These everyday actions, multiplied across a city, can contribute meaningfully to resource conservation, emissions reduction and long‑term behaviour change.
Kay Tse partners with TNC to Amplify Dress Green Day 2026
TNC is honoured to have the support of Hong Kong artist Ms. Kay Tse (謝安琪), who joins Dress Green Day 2026 as an Earth Day Supporter, helping bring the message to a wider audience.
"Caring for the Earth can begin with something simple. One thought, one choice, one small act — even the colour we wear can express what we value. I'm happy to support Dress Green Day, and I hope everyone will join me on 22 April to wear green, act green, and show our love for the planet we share."
— Kay Tse, Earth Day Star Supporter
A Simple Way to Join Bigger Conservation Solutions
While Dress Green Day is intentionally simple, it reflects a belief central to TNC's science‑based conservation approach: long‑term environmental solutions require both ecological action and public engagement.
In Hong Kong, TNC is advancing conservation work ranging from endangered oyster reefs restoration to nature‑based solutions for coastal resilience, marine ecosystem recovery, and expanded environmental education and community engagement. Across the Asia Pacific, TNC works to protect coral reefs, forests and coastal ecosystems, support sustainable fisheries, and help communities adapt to climate change.
Dress Green Day offers an accessible entry point for the public to connect everyday choices with these broader conservation efforts — because meaningful change often begins with small actions, taken together.
How to Participate
Individuals are invited to wear something green on 22 April, take one small green action, and share a green moment using #DressGreenHK and tagging @tnc_hk.
Schools and corporates who would like to participate or learn more can register or enquire by emailing hkmkt@tnc.org. More information is available at www.tnc.org.hk.
Through one colour, one action and one shared day, Hong Kong can come together for the planet — and show how small steps, taken together, add up.
Share Your Green Moment
Individuals, schools and organisations are invited to submit Earth Day photos of themselves wearing green to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) via WhatsApp, direct message to TNC on Instagram or Facebook, or by email to hkmkt@tnc.org.
Selected photos may be featured, on a random basis, as part of the Dress Green Day montage across TNC's social media platforms and on MTR Urban Line digital panels at various stations on Earth Day. (Feature opportunities are subject to availability and final arrangements.)
Optional Support for Conservation
Participation in Dress Green Day is free and open to all. For those who wish to further support The Nature Conservancy's science‑based conservation work in Hong Kong and across Asia Pacific, voluntary donations are welcome. Contributions will help advance long‑term efforts— from marine ecosystem restoration and nature‑based climate solutions to environmental education and community engagement.
Donations can be made at: https://act.tnc.org.hk/c/L8ML
