Corruption is a systemic threat not only to the economic security of the State, but also undermines public confidence in government institutions. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the fight against this phenomenon is one of the key priorities of state policy, enshrined in fundamental legislative acts. The State Revenue authorities (OGD), being at the forefront of ensuring tax discipline and administration of customs payments, bear a special responsibility for maintaining impeccable integrity.The fight against corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is carried out in strict accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Combating Corruption". This law establishes the legal and organizational framework for combating corruption, defines the tasks of government agencies and officials, and provides for a set of measures aimed at preventing, detecting, suppressing, and eliminating its consequences. The principle of zero tolerance for any form of corruption is implemented in the public revenue system. This means not only the inevitability of punishment for committed offenses, but also the proactive elimination of the prerequisites for their occurrence, which is the basis of anti-corruption policy.The most effective tool for minimizing corruption risks is the maximum digitalization of public services. The introduction of automated systems used, for example, for issuing electronic invoices or customs declarations minimizes personal interaction between taxpayers and inspectors, eliminating the "human factor" and the potential for extortion. Transparency of processes is guaranteed by the ability of citizens and businesses to track the status of their appeals through electronic portals, which significantly increases the accountability of OGD employees. In addition, systematic anti-corruption monitoring of risks in regulatory legal acts and administrative procedures is carried out, followed by the development of measures to eliminate them promptly.(unofficial translation)Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-mangistau/press/news/details/1101993?lang=kk

The Republic of Kazakhstan has taken an important step in sustainable development: its national standardization system has been expanded to include documents on climate change management and achieving carbon neutrality.KazStandard under the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan has developed two new national standards:- ST RK ISO 14068-1 "Climate Change Management. Transition to Net Zero. Part 1. Carbon Neutrality"- ST RK IWA 42 "Guidance on Carbon Neutrality."Both standards are identical to the international standards ISO 14068-1:2023 and IWA 42:2022. Their adoption marks an important milestone in achieving the objectives outlined in Kazakhstan's Strategy for Achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2060. The adoption of these standards also strengthens Kazakhstan's role in global climate policy. They create a foundation for responsible emissions management and the implementation of science-based climate solutions.The new standards establish unified approaches and principles for all participants—environmental and analytical organizations, national and regional environmental monitoring centers, and environmental organizations. They cover key aspects of greenhouse gas emissions management: from estimating and reducing to offsetting residual emissions and climate reporting.Implementation of the standards will:- ensure alignment of the national MRV (monitoring, reporting, and verification) system with international practices;- increase the transparency and reliability of climate data;- strengthen the position of Kazakhstani companies in international markets;- promote the implementation of low-carbon technologies and innovations in industry.The development of the standards was carried out with the active participation of stakeholders, scientific institutions, and expert organizations, including the Kazakhstan Association of Regional Environmental Initiatives (ECOJER), the Kazakhstan Waste Management Association (KazWaste), the Eurasian Industrial Association, the Kazakhstan Association of Nature Users for Sustainable Development, as well as TC 103 on standardization "Greenhouse Gas Management" based at GREENORDA PROJECT LLP, and other organizations.The adopted standards will serve as a tool for integrating Kazakhstan into the international climate regulation system and support the transition to an environmentally sustainable economy.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1101998?lang=kk
