Arcelik A.S. (IST: ARCLK) ("Arcelik"), the global leading consumer durables and

electronics manufacturer, has for the second year in a row ranked on the

Corporate Knights' 2022 Global 100 Index, placing 57th.

The 2022 Global 100 Index is the 18th annual ranking of the world's 100 most

sustainable corporations, which meticulously assesses the performance of

companies with more than US$1 billion in revenues, taking into consideration

their action on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.

This recognition follows a year that saw Arcelik take great strides in

achieving its sustainability commitments. With the company announcing at the

2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), that it has re-submitted

more ambitious science-based targets for Scope 1, 2 emissions and also for

Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products, pushing for a 50.4%

reduction across all three scopes. This commitment, which is now waiting for

the Science Based Targets Initiative's approval, demonstrates that Arcelik

understands it has a responsibility, to lead the way in energy transformation

and a more sustainable future.

2021 also saw Arcelik become one of the first forty-five Terra Carta Seal

Holders, presented to Arcelik's CEO Hakan Bulgurlu by HRH The Prince of Wales

during COP26 in Glasgow. The seal signifies a company driving innovation and

leadership in its industry. Arcelik was entitled to the award with its Science

Based Targets and its publicly available roadmap towards decarbonisation and

ultimately net zero emissions along the value chain by 2050. The company also

achieved the highest score within the DHP Household Durables sector in the Dow

Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the third consecutive year and CEO, Hakan

Bulgurlu joined The World Economic Forum Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders; a

group of 70 global chief executives, who are driving cross-sector collaboration

to accelerate the transition to a net-zero economy.

Arcelik CEO Hakan Bulgurlu said: "We are delighted to rank on the Corporate

Knights' 2022 Global 100 Index. As a business we understand we have a

commitment and a responsibility to sustainability and this recognition

continues to spur us on. At Arcelik, we've taken great steps on our

sustainability journey and are continuing to. We are proud of what we have

achieved with all our employees, and our revised commitments to Scope 1, 2 and

3 GHG emissions are a demonstration of that."
