ISTANBUL, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Arçelik, parent company to leading home appliance brands including Beko and Grundig, is challenging the traditional sustainability model that shapes so many consumer brands today. During his keynote speech at IFA Berlin on Friday 2nd September, Arçelik CEO Hakan Bulgurlu will call on industry leaders to consider how their companies are impacting the environment, in a speech that draws on his experience as a CEO and APPLiA President.
Tackling the subject of technological advancements and sustainability, Hakan Bulgurlu, will deliver a speech that aims to reshape how companies think about their environmental impact. Focusing on the notion of ‘Richer People’ on a ‘Poorer Planet’, he will explore the idea that some of the solutions unveiled by industries to reduce their impact on the planet in fact result in increased demand and consumption, leading to greater environmental damage.
Arçelik brands Beko and Grundig will be exhibiting at IFA in the Household Appliances section in Hall 3.1.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
