Dawlance, Pakistan’s leading home appliance manufacturer and a subsidiary of the global Beko Group, has been honored with the Climate Action Award at the 4th Pakistan Climate Conference 2026, organized by the Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI).
The recognition underscores Dawlance’s comprehensive approach to climate action and its commitment to sustainable business practices.
This year’s conference centered on the theme “The Climate Acceleration: From Commitment to Competitive Edge in the Decisive Decade,” highlighting the urgent need for businesses to transform climate commitments into competitive advantages. For Pakistan, which loses nearly 1 percent of GDP annually to climate-related damages, the stakes have never been higher. Climate change has evolved from an environmental concern into a critical economic and competitiveness issue that demands immediate industry leadership.
The Climate Action Award recognizes Dawlance’s holistic approach to sustainability across energy efficiency, responsible manufacturing, and sustainable product design. Beyond its own operations, the award acknowledges Dawlance’s collaborative work with suppliers, communities, and industry partners to drive systemic change, supported by transparent, global-standard reporting and proactive climate advocacy.
“At Dawlance, climate action is not merely a corporate responsibility; it is a strategic imperative directly linked to long-term value creation for Pakistan,” said Umar Ahsan Khan, CEO of Dawlance. “We are proud to be recognized for our efforts, but this award represents a milestone, not a destination. As we advance toward our Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-approved emissions reduction targets for 2030 and our net zero commitment by 2050, we remain focused on demonstrating that the companies and countries that adapt fastest will attract capital, create jobs, and maintain relevance in global value chains. Industry must lead, not wait.”
Dawlance’s climate strategy is underpinned by strong governance and executive oversight, ensuring that climate considerations guide long-term strategic decisions.
The company is on track to achieve its SBTi-approved Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions reduction targets by 2030, positioning itself as a leader in Pakistan’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
In line with its brand purpose—”Progress Today, Preserve Tomorrow”—Dawlance continues to embed sustainability across its value chain, demonstrating that environmental stewardship and business growth are not mutually exclusive but mutually reinforcing.
