The Uzbek Technological Metals Complex (TMK) is participating in this international event, presenting its practical results in ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and showcasing its achievements in environmental sustainability.
Specifically, the introduction of modern environmental technologies and online monitoring systems has led to a significant reduction in harmful emissions. The use of purification equipment with over 95% efficiency, along with solar energy, lessens the environmental impact of production. Furthermore, 750,000 tons of industrial waste are processed annually, ensuring efficient resource utilization. As part of its social and environmental efforts, the company is implementing greening projects, planting thousands of tree and flower seedlings and expanding green spaces.
The future of Central Asia is being built on a harmonious combination of environmental sustainability, industrial modernization, and regional cooperation. TMK is one of the architects of this future.
