The Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex (AMMC) has been awarded the internationally recognized “The Copper Mark” and “The Molybdenum Mark” certifications by the Copper Mark organisation, established in 2019 with the support of the International Copper Association.

These certifications are of strategic importance, as they enhance the competitiveness of copper and molybdenum products in the European and global markets.

The newly obtained quality marks officially confirm that AMMC operates in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and adheres to the principles of responsible production. Notably, AMMC has become the first enterprise in the CIS region to receive these certifications. During the international audit, the company’s operations were assessed against 32 criteria and successfully met all requirements, receiving positive evaluations across all categories.

In practical terms, this achievement provides direct access to international markets without unnecessary trade barriers and enables AMMC to establish partnerships with multinational corporations as a verified and trusted supplier. The certifications also strengthen investor and public confidence, reduce ESG-related risks, and create more favorable opportunities for securing financing from international financial institutions.

The use of raw materials sourced from a “Responsible Producer” further enhances the competitiveness of products manufactured by Uzbekistan’s electrical engineering industry in global markets.

In addition, the company’s compliance with international standards contributes to strengthening Uzbekistan’s international standing in the areas of environmental responsibility, social policy, and human rights protection.

For reference, these prestigious certifications are issued by Copper Mark. The certification scheme is recognized by the London Metal Exchange, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (which comprises 38 member countries; in February 2026, Uzbekistan signed a memorandum of cooperation with this organisation), as well as a number of other international institutions.
