The Global Procurement & Supply Chain Awards recognize outstanding achievements by companies and teams that implement advanced approaches in procurement and supply chain management, particularly projects demonstrating a strong social and transformative impact. Beeline Uzbekistan, part of the international telecommunications holding VEON, has been selected as a finalist in the following categories:

• Partnership Award: For the implementation of a competency model in the procurement process.
• Social Impact Award: For its contribution to the development of sustainable and socially impactful initiatives.
• Supplier Diversity Award: For its commitment to inclusive engagement with suppliers.

These nominations underscore Beeline Uzbekistan's dedication to transparency, efficiency, and social responsibility, and they serve as an acknowledgement from the international professional community.

"Being shortlisted among global companies confirms that Beeline Uzbekistan consistently develops approaches focused on long-term partnership, sustainability, and diversity, including in all procurement activities for business and personnel needs," stated Azizbek Rasulov, Head of Procurement, Contracts, and Logistics at Beeline Uzbekistan. "Our procurement department at Beeline Uzbekistan operates on principles of open collaboration with local and international suppliers, creating conditions for the growth of female leadership and intercultural interaction within the team."

The digital operator views transparent and open procurement procedures and policies as a strategic pillar of its digital transformation and a crucial element of its brand reputation.
