Since the Company conducts significant business outside the borders of Uzbekistan and continues to expand into emerging international markets, it is crucial that all employees understand the activities prohibited by the Company’s anti-bribery and anti-corruption regulations and ensure compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws in the countries where the Company operates.

If you have any doubts about whether something may be considered bribery or could constitute a breach of this Policy, consult with your immediate supervisor.
