As Beko releases its 2025 Integrated Report, the company's third consecutive inclusion on TIME's global sustainability ranking — retaining the #1 position in its industry — underscores the progress documented within it.
ISTANBUL, July 24, 2026 -- Beko published its 2025 Integrated Report, offering a comprehensive account of the company's financial, environmental and social performance over the past year. In parallel, Beko has been named one of TIME Magazine's World's Most Sustainable Companies for the third year running, retaining the #1 position in its industry. The recognition, awarded in partnership with Statista, independently corroborates years of deliberate, measurable progress.
The report documents concrete results across Beko's global manufacturing footprint. In 2025:
- Energy efficiency projects across production sites saved 69,562 GJ of energy, avoiding 5,297 tonnes of CO₂e emissions.
- Waste recycling across all manufacturing facilities reached 98.6%, against a target of 99%.
- Renewable energy installed capacity reached 96 MWp, up from 90.2 MWp the prior year. Beko also reached 63.5% green electricity on the path to 100% across all manufacturing by 2030.
- Water efficiency and rainwater harvesting projects across locations delivered total water savings of 219,114 m3.
Behind these figures is a broader manufacturing transformation. Three of Beko's manufacturing facilities have been recognised within the World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network, with the Ulmi plant earning the additional, and rarer, designation of Sustainability Lighthouse. The principles behind Ulmi's approach are being extended across Beko's broader manufacturing ecosystem, as the company scales low-impact production. Beko currently operates 13 smart factories globally — equipped with artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics capabilities — with a target of 17 by the end of 2026.
On the circular economy side, Beko's refurbishment centres across multiple locations reintroduced more than 148,000 appliances into the market in 2025 alone. The company recycled 1.98 million WEEE units through its own recycling facilities since 2014, and used 31,665 tonnes of recycled plastics in its products in 2025.
Across its product portfolio, 72.6% of Beko's turnover in 2025 came from low-carbon products — a figure that reflects both the scale of the company's energy-efficient product range and growing consumer demand for appliances that address environmental concerns.
"Being recognised by TIME three years in a row matters because it reflects that sustainability is a foundational part of Beko's business," said Can Dinçer, CEO of Beko. "Our factories undergo a twin transformation where we encounter both decarbonization and digitalization. That progress is deliberate and measurable, and our Integrated Report sets out exactly how. As the world prepares for COP31, the most credible thing a company can do is demonstrate its work rather than declare it. That is what we are doing."
TIME's annual list evaluates more than 5,000 companies worldwide across environmental and social performance, transparency and ESG reporting. Beko's continued inclusion under increasingly rigorous standards points to a business model where sustainability is structurally embedded across operations, supply chains and product portfolios.
In addition to its Integrated Report, the Company has also published its second TSRS-compliant sustainability report, prepared in accordance with the Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS), Türkiye's adoption of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). The report is publicly available and provides detailed disclosures on the company's climate-related risks, opportunities, governance, strategy and performance.
