Abstract
Abstract: Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) approaches have become increasingly relevant for corporate projects in recent years, reflecting growing international trends toward sustainability and responsible business practices. In Uzbekistan, this process is gaining momentum as businesses, government bodies, and stakeholders recognize the long-term benefits and necessities of integrating ESG principles into project management and corporate strategy. The growing emphasis on such approaches has led to both new opportunities and unique challenges within the Uzbek business context. Examining the drivers and barriers to ESG implementation in Uzbekistan’s corporate sector illuminates crucial aspects for stakeholders, managers, and policymakers aiming to navigate the evolving landscape of sustainable development.
