The home appliance brand Beko has formalized a partnership with chef Massimo Bottura and, thus, appointed the personality as its global ambassador. This collaboration was announced at The Best Chef Awards in Milan. It is founded on shared principles of sustainability, innovation, and reliability.
At The Best Chef Awards, Beko sponsored the Terrior Award, a specific distinction that recognized a chef for integrating sustainable practices and local community focus into their gastronomic work. According to the brand, this award "embodies the mission of creating a better future by fostering education in environmental respect and by preserving what was already valuable." Fittingly, the award was presented by chef Massimo Bottura to Debora Fadul, DIACÁ, Città del Guatemala.
