Joint Stock Company 'Isshiklik Electric Power Stations' received international certificates in accordance with global standards ISO 37001:2025 'Anti-bribery management system' and ISO 37301:2021 'Compliance management system' after completing an international audit.
The receipt of these certificates indicates that the company has implemented management systems in the field of compliance and anti-corruption that meet international requirements. In connection with this, a solemn ceremony for presenting the certificates was held, organized by the international certification body 'CERT International'. The event was attended by the company's management, employees of the anti-corruption and compliance department, as well as heads of systemic enterprises.
As part of the certification process, employees of the society and its branches underwent special courses for training and professional development in accordance with the requirements of ISO 37301:2021 and ISO 37001:2025 standards. Following this, an international audit was conducted at the central office and branches of the organization. Based on the audit results, the activities of the society were recognized as compliant with the requirements of these standards.
According to information from the society's service, the obtained international certificates are valid for three years. They confirm that the compliance and anti-corruption systems in the company operate according to international norms. This project is aimed at increasing the transparency of corporate governance, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and reducing corruption risks.
As part of cooperation with interested organizations, the Branch of the Executive Committee of the International Fund for the Salvation of the Aral Sea in Nukus is implementing large-scale innovative projects for farms. These projects involve equipping them with irrigation systems powered by solar panels, which serves the interests of the local population.
The main goal of these initiatives is to find innovative solutions to problems related to water and energy shortages in the Aral Sea region. The projects aim to improve the meliorative condition of agricultural lands and introduce modern and environmentally friendly technologies into the industry.
Furthermore, they help reduce electricity costs by using renewable energy sources amid climate change and water scarcity in the Aral Sea region, contributing to increased crop yields and strengthening the economic stability of farms.
Specifically, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), a project was launched at the 'Borili Oy' farm in the Kegeyli district. This project, funded by a grant of 70 thousand US dollars, includes water supply systems through the purification of collector waters and irrigation using alternative energy over an area of 5 hectares for growing fodder and fruits.
On one hectare of the farm, fruit trees adapted to the local climate have been planted, and all agrotechnical measures have been carried out to increase their productivity. Since water scarcity usually reduces soil fertility, the use of drip irrigation technology powered by solar panels allows for water saving and regular supply, which contributes to improved yields.
As part of this project, a drip irrigation system with a capacity of 15 kW, operating on solar panels, was installed at the farm. Ponds were also built for intensive Artemia aquaculture, where Artemia larvae serve as feed for fish.
The implementation of such a large project in remote rural areas under conditions of water scarcity not only improves land fertility but also creates new jobs. This initiative, implemented with the help of UNDP and the Branch of the Executive Committee of the International Fund for the Salvation of the Aral Sea in Nukus, promotes the production of environmentally friendly products.
Additionally, a 'green energy' project was implemented at the 'Orzu' farm, located in the settlement of 'Zhanabazar' in the Kegeyli district. The Branch of the Executive Committee of the International Fund for the Salvation of the Aral Sea in Nukus installed a modern solar panel with a capacity of 50 kilowatts on this farm. As a result, the irrigation system powered by the solar panel became capable of irrigating an area of 175 hectares.
According to the head of the farm, Palzady Salieva, due to the water shortage problem in recent years, most of the farm's arable land has become unusable, negatively affecting fertility. Last year, the yield of cotton and wheat significantly decreased due to water deficit. Now, the solar-powered system ensures constant operation of pumps. The ability to irrigate using solar panels helps not only the farm itself but also supplies water to the water supply systems of 33 households in the district. Land fertility is also improving, and most importantly, farmers gain confidence and hope for the future.
In addition, the Branch of the Executive Committee of the International Fund for the Salvation of the Aral Sea in Nukus provided practical assistance in preserving plantings along the roads passing through the 'Qoraqalpoq Yol Kukalamzorishtirish' district, as well as in installing water-saving irrigation systems in areas not reached by surface water runoff.
Polyethylene pipes with a diameter of 110 mm and a length of 3000 meters were delivered along the D234 (4R176) 'Nukus-Chimboi-Takhtaqupir' road in the Kegeyli district, as well as 200 mm diameter pipes with a length of 1603 meters along the A-380 'Guzor-Bukhara-Nukus-Beyneu' road in the Khodjali district.
The projects carried out by the Branch of the Executive Committee of the International Fund for the Salvation of the Aral Sea in Nukus serve to improve the environmental situation in the region, support afforestation efforts, provide the population with accessible and quality products, and, most importantly, create employment for citizens.
