In line with its long-term sustainability strategy, Arçelik shared its 2030 targets in its 12th Sustainability Report. Bulgurlu says, "With our vision, Respecting the World, Respected Worldwide, our plan is to make an additional $50 million investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency for the future of our planet in the coming years."

In order to tackle the climate crisis and maintain carbon neutrality, Arçelik will focus on the following practices:

Investing in renewable energy systems at its own production sites
- 2030 target: Establishing 15 MW of renewable energy systems
Purchasing electricity from documented renewable sources
- In 2019, 100% of electricity was purchased from documented renewable sources in Turkey and Romania operations.
- 2030 target: Purchasing 100% of electricity from documented renewable sources in global production plants, where market allows.
Investing in energy efficiency projects in production
- 2030 target: Reducing energy consumption per product in manufacturing by 45% (compared to 2015 baseline in South Africa, Russia, Turkey, Romania, China, Thailand and Pakistan operations)
