On May 22, 2026, a briefing on anti-corruption issues was held at the joint-stock company O‘zbekko‘mir.

The event was attended by compliance and anti-corruption inspector Murodjon Abduraimov, who provided information on the company’s anti-corruption efforts, measures aimed at ensuring openness and transparency, ongoing initiatives, and priority tasks carried out during the past period of 2026.

As noted during the briefing, in order to ensure the implementation of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 931 “On Conflict of Interest,” adopted on June 5, 2024, preventive roundtable discussions were organized within the company’s executive office and structural branches under the themes “We Are Against Corruption” and “Everyday Corruption and Its Prevention Is Our Responsibility!”

In addition, employees holding positions associated with corruption and conflict-of-interest risks signed guarantee letters confirming their uncompromising stance against all forms of corruption, their commitment not to abuse official powers, and their obligation to avoid favoritism and nepotism.

During the first quarter of 2026, more than 5,700 declarations were analyzed, resulting in the identification of one existing and four potential conflict-of-interest cases. As a result, in one case an employee voluntarily resigned, eliminating a conflict related to direct subordination. In two cases, potential conflicts were resolved by transferring employees to other positions, while work on the remaining two cases is ongoing.

During the review of declarations, four employees involved in entrepreneurial activities were provided with explanations regarding conflict-of-interest risks. Consequently, three of them terminated their founder or managerial roles in business entities, while one employee resigned voluntarily.

The briefing also reported that, within the framework of implementing Presidential Resolution No. 240 dated May 11, 2022, corruption risk identification and assessment activities were carried out across 16 functional areas of the company’s central office and structural branches. The assessment results were uploaded to the “e-anticor.uz” platform, and a corruption risk map along with an action program for eliminating identified risks was developed.

During the reporting period, seven preventive events, roundtable discussions, and seminars were conducted in structural branches focusing on the prevention of everyday corruption, the causes of conflicts of interest, and their negative consequences. Practical recommendations were provided regarding identified cases.

At the same time, the Compliance Control and Anti-Corruption Service conducted three internal investigations based on incoming appeals and identified cases. As a result, instructions were issued to recover excessively начисленные funds, and disciplinary measures were taken against responsible employees in accordance with established procedures. In addition, materials related to one case were forwarded to law enforcement authorities for legal assessment.

During the briefing, it was also noted that, based on information received through the “Remote Audit” information system of the Accounts Chamber of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the activities of six employees were analyzed. The analysis revealed that some employees were engaged in additional labor or entrepreneurial activities, and appropriate measures were subsequently taken.

In conclusion, it was emphasized that efforts to prevent conflicts of interest in the company’s structural branches, foster zero tolerance toward all forms of corruption, regularly analyze declarations, and strengthen preventive measures will continue consistently.
