Beko, one of Europe’s largest home appliance manufacturers, has secured a $108 million (€100 million) sustainability‑linked loan from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), marking a significant step in the company’s push toward cleaner energy, advanced manufacturing and climate‑resilient operations.
The financing package is designed to expand Beko’s renewable energy capacity, strengthen energy‑efficient production, and enhance the resilience of its six manufacturing sites—particularly through earthquake‑risk mitigation measures across Türkiye. The loan also supports digitalisation initiatives and research and development aimed at producing more eco‑efficient appliances with improved resource performance.
As part of the agreement, Beko will work toward sustainability‑linked targets aligned with its 2030 climate commitments, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the representation of women across its workforce. These goals fall under the company’s Sustainability‑Linked Financing Framework, which ties financial incentives to measurable environmental and social progress.
The IFC described the deal as Beko’s first sustainability‑linked loan, underscoring the growing role of climate‑aligned financing in modernising industrial production and supporting long‑term resilience in regions vulnerable to natural disasters.
With this investment, Beko aims to accelerate its transition toward cleaner energy, bolster manufacturing stability and drive innovation in next‑generation home appliances—positioning the company at the forefront of sustainable industrial transformation in Europe and beyond.
