Beko Unveils Innovative Connected Appliances to Promote Energy Efficiency at COP31

In a significant move aimed at spearheading the energy efficiency conversation, Beko opened its booth at COP31 on November 9, 2026, located at the Koç Holding Pavilion in the Antalya Expo Center's Green Zone. The company is placing a spotlight on its innovative technologies that seek to revolutionize energy use in everyday household routines.

Pioneering Energy Transition

Under Türkiye's COP31 Presidency, the newly introduced "35 by 35" Global Electrification Pledge targets an increase in electricity's share of global energy consumption from over 20% to 35% by 2035. With this shift, it becomes critical to focus on the efficiency of daily household appliances, as their operational phase greatly impacts climate change. Beko has indicated that a staggering 99% of its total emissions stem from its value chain, with over 80% attributed to the usage of its products in homes. To mitigate this, Beko is leveraging technology to create appliances tailored to use less energy and water, ensuring that consumers can effectively manage their consumption.

Introduction of Smart Technologies

Beko's smart home ecosystem, the HomeWhiz platform, plays a pivotal role in this energy efficiency strategy. The platform boasts an Energy Management panel that provides households with insights into the energy and water usage of connected appliances, including their high-tech Diamond Series dishwasher. Visitors at the booth were introduced to the FlexiStart feature—a game-changer that uses real-time electricity pricing to optimize the operational timing of washing machines, dishwashers, and tumble dryers, thus ensuring minimal running costs without sacrificing performance.

Additionally, in the kitchen, Beko is promoting the benefits of its induction hob, which connects seamlessly to HomeWhiz for remote control and monitoring. This hob is equipped with a SafeCook sensor that automatically halts cooking if the water runs dry, preventing any mishaps in the kitchen. Furthermore, its AI-enabled oven recognizes programmed food types and automatically adjusts cooking times for optimal results while also regulating energy usage throughout the cooking process.

The AI-Enabled Diamond Series

A standout item from Beko’s showcase is the AI-powered Diamond Series freestanding dishwasher, designed with advanced heat-pump technology that significantly enhances its energy efficiency, exceeding EU energy standards by 50%. This dishwasher features a SensorAdapt program that intelligently assesses dish load and cleanliness, optimizing washing conditions to save both water and energy. At the end of each cycle, its auto-open drying mechanism harnesses natural airflow instead of using additional energy, embodying Beko's commitment to sustainable practices.

Addressing Cooling Needs

Amid rising global temperatures, Beko's solutions extend into cooling efficiency, with products designed to alleviate the increasing demand for refrigeration. The Smart Plus Inverter air conditioner, which showcases an A++ energy rating, is another highlight, along with a highly efficient 60 cm combi refrigerator that boasts AI AutonomousPro for continuous optimization based on user habits and environmental conditions.

Beko's dedication to advancing sustainable appliance technology is also evident in its laundry range, where the energy-efficient washing machine claims a 60% improvement over standard models, additionally monitoring its own energy and water output.

Empowering Households for a Greener Future

Beko firmly believes that household appliances should simplify energy conservation, which is why their products focus on intuitive technology that reduces the need for consumers to become energy experts. CEO Can Dinçer emphasized, "People shouldn't have to navigate complex systems to save energy—our technology aims to turn these eco-friendly practices into a seamless part of daily life.”

As Beko showcases its revolutionary appliances to the world at COP31, it reinforces the critical role of innovation in combating climate change and supporting households in their journey toward more efficient energy consumption. Beko can be found at booth E-0001 in the Koç Holding Pavilion throughout the conference, poised to lead discussions on the future of household energy efficiency.

Looking Forward

On November 10, CEO Can Dinçer will participate in the panel focusing on the home-appliance industry's role in energy transition, showcasing how Beko's initiatives align with global sustainability goals. With impressive advancements and a commitment to innovative technology, Beko is encouraging a holistic approach to energy consumption at home, ensuring that customers can contribute positively to environmental goals without compromising on convenience or comfort.
