Being listed in DJSI's Emerging Markets Category for three
consecutive years, Arçelik now leads the industry in SAM Corporate
Sustainability Assessment (CSA) based on its total sustainability
score in 2019

Istanbul (ots/PRNewswire) - Arçelik parent company to 12 leading
home appliance brands, with a footprint in 146 countries worldwide
has been recognized once again for its pioneering efforts in
sustainability by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI).

Arçelik is the only Turkish industrial company to be listed in the
DJSI in the Emerging Markets Category for three consecutive years and
now leads the industry in SAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment
(CSA) based on its total sustainability score in 2019. This year
Arçelik has also broken new ground by being named a leader in the
DJSI's Household Durables Category.

The DJSI is one of the world's foremost sustainability indices and
assesses the sustainability performance of the world's largest
companies. It assesses companies based on criteria such as corporate
governance, financial operations, ethical issues, environmental and
social performance of the value chain, risk management, climate
change mitigation, transparency, supply chain, and human and employee
rights. Leading performers in these categories are listed in the
DJSI.

"At Arçelik, sustainability is not just a way of life, it's at the
very core of our business model," said Hakan Bulgurlu, CEO of
Arçelik. "To be recognized by the DJSI not only provides validation
that our efforts are being seen, but shows that our company vision -
'Respecting the World, Respected Worldwide' - as well as the
investments we are continuing to make in our R&D to create more
sustainable household goods, is truly having an impact. This fuels us
to keep charging forward to bring the best in sustainable product
innovations to our consumers worldwide."

Earlier this month at IFA 2019, Bulgurlu announced its commitment to
make its microfiber filtering technology available to competitors in
the home appliances industry. This technology is set to roll out in
market in 2020. The microfiber filter captures 90% of the synthetic
clothing fibers from each washing load, thus preventing more than one
million fibers from being flushed down the drain, ending up in the
oceans after every load.
