Beko U.S., Inc. has once again received the prestigious 2021 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award for its innovative home appliances that prioritize efficiency, wellness, and sustainability. This is the third consecutive year that the global appliance manufacturer has been awarded the Sustained Excellence honor and the fifth year in a row it has received the top ENERGY STAR® award, making it the industry’s only brand to be acknowledged every year since it entered the U.S. market.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the Beko Energy Star Excellence Award award today to recognize Beko’s superior leadership and contributions to the ENERGY STAR initiative.

The Beko Energy Star Excellence Award is the highest honor bestowed by the ENERGY STAR program. Winners are part of a distinguished group that has made a long-term commitment to fighting climate change and protecting public health through energy efficiency. They are among the nation’s leaders in driving value for the environment, the economy, and the American people.

“As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of kitchen appliances, Beko remains laser-focused on sustainability and empowering Americans to live healthy lives on a healthy planet,” said Zach Elkin, Beko U.S. president. “When combined with various other product accolades we’ve received, this continual recognition by ENERGY STAR® proves that homeowners don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency and the pursuit of health and wellness to get the industry’s most advanced appliances featuring the latest cooling and cleaning technology.”    

Beko works with a growing network of dealers throughout the U.S. to offer 29 kitchen and laundry products offering wellness while achieving EPA Most Efficient certification. These range from next-generation heat-pump dryers, dishwashers and washing machines to bottom-mount freezer refrigerators and upright freezers honored with the EPA’s Emerging Technology Award.

 Behind Beko’s product family is a culture committed to exceeding ENERGY STAR®, EPA and DOE requirements and setting new standards for carbon-neutral manufacturing, training, energy communications, and sustainability at its 22 global production facilities and all other company operations.
