As the world continues to confront growing environmental concerns, the call for sustainable practices becomes ever more urgent. In the Philippines, where the consequences of climate change are increasingly felt, the push toward environmental responsibility carries significant weight. Beko, Europe’s No. 1 Large Home Appliance company*, exemplifies how a global brand can take this responsibility seriously. With its mission of promoting a healthier and more comfortable lifestyle through innovative and environmentally conscious home solutions, Beko once again demonstrates its unwavering commitment to sustainability.
This commitment has been further reinforced by a recent and prestigious recognition. Beko has earned a spot on TIME Magazine’s World’s Most Sustainable Companies 2025, climbing dramatically from its previous position. The company moved up to the #17 overall ranking, a significant leap from its prior #44 spot, and has secured the #1 position in its industry. The recognition is especially noteworthy considering the heightened standards of TIME’s 2025 evaluation process. The list’s criteria now include stricter measures of environmental and social stewardship, corporate reporting, and transparency. With over 5,000 global brands evaluated, Beko’s placement highlights the strength and consistency of its sustainability strategies and their real-world impact.
Beko’s dedication to responsible innovation and transparency is underscored by the statement from its CEO, Hakan Bulgurlu, who said, “We’re proud to be the sector leader, not just by intent, but through verifiable progress, smart design, and industry-leading transparency.” He added, “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.”
Backed by this vision, Beko has taken measurable steps in advancing sustainable manufacturing practices. The company has used 27,835 tonnes of recycled plastics in its products and has recycled over 1.86 million Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) since 2014. These numbers illustrate how the brand’s sustainability efforts go beyond surface-level campaigns, reflecting concrete, large-scale environmental action.
In terms of renewable energy adoption, Beko has made significant strides, achieving 90.2MWp of installed renewable energy capacity across its manufacturing operations. These efforts directly contribute to reducing the company’s carbon footprint. In fact, low-carbon products now make up 71.5% of Beko’s total turnover, while energy-efficient products represent 61.9%. These figures show that the company is not only meeting current sustainability goals but is integrating them into its core business and product development strategy.
Bulgurlu further emphasized the importance of making sustainability scalable. “It’s a validation of our belief that sustainability must scale,” he explained. “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 center of how we grow.”
By placing sustainability at the heart of its operations, Beko is setting the benchmark in the home appliance sector. Its rise to the top of TIME Magazine’s sustainability list in its industry reflects a broader corporate philosophy rooted in long-term impact rather than short-term gains. For consumers, especially those in the Philippines seeking reliable and eco-conscious appliances, this recognition further strengthens Beko’s reputation as a brand that prioritizes both the environment and household wellbeing.
