Beko achieves 17th place on TIME’s inaugural list of the world’s most sustainable companies

The annual ranking, developed in partnership with Statista, evaluates more than 5,000 global companies across data-driven KPIs spanning environmental and social stewardship, reporting and transparency. Beko’s ranking at #17 marks a leap from our 2024 position at #44, a rise achieved despite TIME introducing stricter assessment criteria this year.

“The recognition by TIME and Statista proves that sustainability and scale don’t have to be at odds,” explained Hakan Bulgurlu, CEO of Beko. “We’re proud to be the sector leader, not just by intent, but through verifiable progress, smart design, and industry-leading transparency. We call this ‘Sustainability That Scales’. What matters is building systems that allow people and the planet to thrive, at every level, and in every market - and that starts with the dedication and endeavour of our teams around the world.”

Beko’s top-tier ranking is a testament to our sustained investment in energy-efficient manufacturing, adherence to circular economy principles, and a long-term ESG strategy, manifesting the company’s resolve to drive meaningful, measurable impact across its operations.

The recognition comes at a pivotal moment for the consumer goods and manufacturing sectors, as expectations for sustainability and impact continue to rise. By embedding sustainability into our business model and supply chain, Beko demonstrates how long-term impact can be achieved without compromising commercial growth.

Beko’s sustainability performance includes several notable achievements:

• Renewable energy installed capacity reached 90.2MWp in manufacturing.
• 27,835 tonnes of recycled plastics were used in products.
• 1.86 million Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) units were recycled since 2014 in WEEE recycling plants.
• Energy efficient products represented 61.9% of turnover, with low-carbon products accounting for 71.5%.

Hakan Bulgurlu concludes

“This recognition is more than a ranking, it’s a validation of our belief that sustainability must scale. At Beko, we’re embedding environmental responsibility into every layer of our business, from design and manufacturing to supply chains and the homes we serve. As we continue our journey to net zero by 2050, this milestone affirms the impact of credible data, long-term thinking, and putting sustainability at the centre of how we grow.”
