The accelerating adoption of sustainability frameworks in global higher education has placedESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles at the centre of institutional performanceassessment. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the institutional-legal andorganizational-economic conditions for ESG implementation in higher education institutions(HEIs) of Uzbekistan for the period 2020–2025. Drawing on three complementary data sources —official statistical data from the Agency of Statistics and the Ministry of Higher Education, Scienceand Innovations (MHESI), expert interviews with 42 purposively selected HEI administrators andresearchers across 18 institutions spanning seven regions and three institutional types, and directmonitoring of 18 universities — the study addresses four core research questions regarding theregulatory framework, quantitative-qualitative indicators, institutional variation, and financialreadiness for ESG investment. The findings reveal an 'implicit ESG regulatory environment' inwhich the updated Constitution (2023), the Education Law (2020), and the Green EconomyNational Strategy (2022) collectively establish a normative ESG foundation without explicitlymandating sustainability reporting. A pronounced Tashkent–region disparity in ESG readiness (74vs. 24–52 points on a 100-point composite scale) and deep governance transparency gaps (22 vs.a regional target of 70 points) are documented. The Social component analysis reveals particulardeficits in inclusive education infrastructure for students with disabilities and in community–HEIpartnership mechanisms — dimensions receiving less policy attention than environmental andgovernance challenges. International benchmarking against Kazakhstan, Türkiye, South Korea,and Finland situates Uzbekistan's trajectory within a realistic 20-year reform horizon. The articleconcludes with a three-phase ESG roadmap and targeted recommendations for each ESGcomponent
