Amid globalization and the transformation of national economies, the issues of sustainable development and responsible business practices are becoming highly relevant. The ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) concept, which unites the environmental, social, and managerial aspects of corporate activity, is emerging as a key tool for enhancing the investment attractiveness and long-term sustainability of joint-stock companies. In the Republic of Uzbekistan, the implementation of ESG principles is viewed as an essential element of corporate sector reform, particularly within state-owned enterprises. This paper examines ESG integration practices in the joint-stock sector of Uzbekistan, using the case of the pharmaceutical company "Dori-Darmon" Joint-Stock Company. Based on an analysis of theoretical approaches, the regulatory framework, and publicly available corporate disclosures, the study assesses the level of implementation of ESG components within the company's operations. Particular attention is paid to corporate governance, social responsibility, and environmental compliance. As a result of the research, the main directions for developing ESG practices are identified, and recommendations are formulated for their further implementation to enhance the sustainability and transparency of joint-stock companies
