24 September 2026 year an extremely important meeting of the Higher Rating Commission (HRC) of the All-Ukrainian Rating “Conscientious Taxpayers — 2025” took place online. Despite the extremely difficult challenges of the fifth year of the full-scale war, transparent domestic businesses continue to keep the economy functioning, preserve jobs, and reliably fill the state budget.
100% quorum and updated composition of the Commission
The meeting was opened by the event moderator — Secretary of the HRC, Vice President, and General Director of the All-Ukrainian NGO APPU Lyudmyla Herasymenko. She announced that the Board of the All-Ukrainian NGO APPU had approved a new composition of the Commission, which included 16 leading experts of the All-Ukrainian NGO APPU. Thanks to a one-hundred-percent quorum, including officially transferred votes from absent members, the meeting was declared fully legitimate and competent. For the history of the Rating, participants took a joint on-screen photo confirmation.
Philosophy and high state status of the Rating
With a welcoming address to those present, the Chair of the HRC, President of the All-Ukrainian NGO APPU Grigol Katamadze, spoke. He emphasized that since 2011 the Association has acted as a reliable partner for domestic business.
“The main philosophy of the Rating is to express the state’s gratitude to business and to foster in society a culture of respect for legitimate entrepreneurship,” Grigol Katamadze stressed. The Rating’s trademark and its awards are officially registered in the State Register, which confirms its high status. The Rating consistently rests on three principles: two stages (regional and nationwide rounds), full free participation at each stage, and equality (separate evaluation of small, medium, and large businesses).
Analytics, strict statistics, and the geography of the Rating
In her analytical report, HRC Secretary Lyudmyla Herasymenko noted that the acceptance and processing of nomination applications for the second round continued until 31 July 2026 year. Specialists of the General Directorate carried out titanic analytical work. All companies underwent mandatory checks by the State Tax Service and the State Labor Service of Ukraine and are models of financial discipline — they have not a single penny of debt to the budget or in unpaid wages.
