AMDEA is delighted that our member Beko has been named as one of the top 20 most sustainable companies by TIME magazine. 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, a huge improvement from their 2024 position at #44, a rise achieved despite TIME introducing stricter assessment criteria this year.
The appliance manufacturing industry has been making huge strides in achieving sustainability goals, from developing appliances that are ever-more energy and water efficient using cutting edge technology, to improving the sustainability of the supply chain and ensuring that appliances have a very substantial useful life and encouraging repairs.
“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 their 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 their business model and supply chain, Beko demonstrates how long-term impact can be achieved without compromising commercial growth.
