Despite the exhausting war and harsh challenges, legal Ukrainian business demonstrates fantastic resilience, firmly holding the country’s economic front. This year our unique project, of which the Association has been the official rights holder since 2020, celebrates its 15-th anniversary.
The event was opened offline by the President of the All-Ukrainian Public Organization 'APPU' Grigol Katamadze and online by the Vice President, Chief Executive Lyudmila Gerasimenko.
To the event, leaders of transparent business were personally joined and awarded by honored guests:

An incredibly powerful and moving start to the ceremony was the live performance of the Ukrainian national anthem by Bogdan Kostryceya, soloist of the Cultural and Artistic Center 'Suziria' of the State Tax University. The live sound and strong performance united the hall in a single patriotic impulse from the first minutes. Immediately after, attendees bowed their heads in a minute of silence, honoring the feats of the fallen Heroes and the memory of all Ukrainian civilians whose fates were destroyed by the cynic Russian aggression.
Afterward, the Head of the High Rating Commission, President of the All-Ukrainian Public Organization 'APPU' Grigol Katamadze, in his congratulatory speech to the participants of the festive event, expressed deep gratitude to legal business for its patriotic spirit and unprecedented, fantastic resilience. He emphasized that in times when factories and supply chains are being destroyed, impeccable financial discipline, job preservation, and one hundred percent tax payments are the highest manifestation of patriotism, because it is thanks to this reliable economic support that Ukraine lives, fights, and funds its Armed Forces.
