Tweet

Beko, Europe’s leading home appliance brand, has been ranked 20th on the Real Leaders Top 200 Impact Companies of 2022 in recognition for its being a pioneer of sustainability and impact.

Real Leaders is a membership community for impact leaders with a global media platform dedicated to driving positive change. The Real Leaders 200 Top Impact Companies Award recognizes organizations that are making a positive social or environmental impact.

The company’s inclusion in the Real Leaders list shows how its sustainability initiatives are aligned with The Real Leaders’ purpose, as Beko continues to inspire others through its sustainable business practices. The company encourages people to live better lives by utilizing environmentally friendly technologies and emphasizing the idea that humans and the world are inevitably linked.

Through its “healthy living is only possible on a healthy planet” approach, Beko focuses on empowering next generations to live healthier lives.

Over the past two decades, the company has focused on innovation to make its customers’ lives healthier and more convenient by a line of eco-friendly appliances that reflect the brand’s sustainability mission. The product line uses recycled materials, bio-composites and detergent-saving technologies for sustainable living.

Beko’s technologically advanced range of sustainable products including a washing machine/washer dryer, oven, tumble dryer, refrigerator, espresso coffee maker, and dishwashers were launched in 2021 when Beko reiterated its commitment to sustainability.

Launched initially in European countries, the EcoTub Washing Machine & Washer Dryer uses plastic waste transformed into a valuable alternative raw material. Approximately up to 60 recycled 0.5L PET bottles were used in the tubs of washing machines and washer dryers on certain models. This is the world's first example of this type of application in home appliances and this eco-friendly new manufacturing method significantly lowers carbon dioxide emissions. Since the beginning of this project in 2017, 58 million plastic bottles have been recycled with a reduction of CO2 emissions by almost 2,200 tons

The BioCycle Refrigerator has durable components composed of bio-based plastics and egg trays made from eggshell wastes and bioplastics. Each fridge's two egg trays contain eggshell waste from five eggs. The fan cover is 100% bio-based plastics (33gr) from sustainable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. The door seal is 25% bio-based (soybean oil) materials (195 gr).

Meanwhile, the AutoDose Dishwasher dispenses the right amount of detergent for sparkling clean dishes every time. In each wash, up to 28% less detergent is used.

“It is a privilege to be recognized as one of the Real Leaders Top 200 Impact Companies of 2022, because of Beko’s relentless efforts toward building a more sustainable future. As a business, we continue to innovate and understand that we have a collective responsibility to lead the way in working to prevent environmental devastation. Knowing that sustainability and innovation efforts must go hand in hand to achieve a meaningful impact, we encourage our industry peers and customers to join the fight with us, to ensure a more sustainable future, for all,” said Hakan Bulgurlu, CEO of Arçelik, Beko's parent company.

"Beko has made significant contributions to the larger cause of ensuring a sustainable global environment and we are very honored to be recognized for this. Beko hopes to continue inspiring others through its sustainable business," said Gürhan Günal, country manager of Beko Pilipinas Corporation.

Tweet

TikTok, the leading destination for short-form mobile video, is excited to celebrate this year's Valentine's Day. With more than 225B video views about #love, the world is buzzing with feelings this season. As more people turn online to find companionship, TikTok is committed to educating our community about the dangers of cybercriminals posing as a potential love interest online. Follow these security tips:

• Take it slow - Ask questions and pay attention to inconsistencies that might reveal your online romantic interest is an impostor. 

• Do your homework - Conduct a reverse image search of your online partner's profile photo (you can use images.google.com). If the results show the same profile photo on another site or with a different name attached, a scammer may have stolen it. 

• Don't play games - Don't give away too much personal information to someone you only know online, and be extra cautious of people who make repeated attempts to meet up with you in person.

• Never show 'em the money - You should never send payment or agree to accept money from someone you've only met online or by phone. 

• Listen to your heart, follow your head - If something seems amiss or you suspect someone you met online isn't who they say they are, cut off all contact immediately and report to the relevant authorities.

TECNO devotes itself into a more inclusive camera technology to create a world with more understanding and connections

TECNO, a premium smartphone brand focused on emerging markets, recently partnered with BBC StoryWorks to create a short film The Future Lens: Looking Ahead With TECNO to explore how mobile camera lens provides inclusive mobile camera technologies to local consumers.

“Cameras have evolved over the years, but unfortunately, it feels like the technology isn't created with everyone in mind. As a photographer, I think one of the most intimate things you can do is take a portrait of someone that accurately portrays who they are.” according to the photographer, Justin Amoafo.

This is where TECNO comes into the picture. TECNO envisions a world where inclusive phone design can help form communities, connect people with one another and ensure no one is left behind. In the film, TECNO illustrates why portrait imaging is its most ground-breaking technology and how it has empowered users of dark skin tones to realize all possibilities of expression.

Based on innovations that can significantly increase light intake, and an enormous database that covers 7 skin types across 76 skin categories, TECNO has made a significant impact in resolving the technical challenges regarding exposure, colors, and hues in portrait photography. Meanwhile, in TECNO TAIVOS Camera Lab, more than 3,000 local samples with approximately 6,120 evaluation scenarios spanning 115 countries enable the camera lab team possible to focus on the localized ethnic research, social aesthetic ideology and aesthetic preference research, so as to make the experience of product image effect direction conform to the localized trends. All these innovations bring users technology that they do not have to adapt to, but that instead accommodates for them.

“The future Lens is the world without limit. Technology should include everyone and let us to be our true selves, instead of being depicted through a subjective lens. I believe that it should be the mission of humans to create the technology that is more understanding and inclusive of all of us.” said Li Jiangtao, Senior Director of TECNO Imaging Product and head of TECNO TAIVOS™ Camera Lab.

As a rising innovator in mobile camera technology, TECNO devotes itself through an inclusive and emerging market-specific approach to bringing its “Future Lens” camera concept to consumers.

The brand’s continuous innovations, its initiatives to develop cameras that function at a professional level, and the impact of these efforts on progressive young consumers have encapsulated its brand essence of “Stop At Nothing” and the inclusive future they want to create.
