HRH The Prince of Wales was encouraged by Arçelik’s commitment to reducing Scope 1&2 GHG emissions by 30% and the Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by 15% as of 2030, compared to 2018 baseline and achieving Net-Zero GHG/CO2e emissions across the entire value chain by 2050.

His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, said: “The Terra Carta Seal recognises those organisations which have made a serious commitment to a future that is much more sustainable, and puts Nature, People and the Planet at the heart of the economy.

“We all need to make changes if we are to preserve the planet for our children and grandchildren and these businesses have pledged to make it easier for us all to do so.”

HRH The Prince of Wales met with CEO of Arçelik Hakan Bulgurlu, alongside other CEOs, to celebrate their award and commitment to the battle against climate change, discuss the challenges individual organisations and industries face and examine solutions and the necessary action organisations must take to accelerate further the transition.
