BEE Certificate
We support Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE), a government policy to advance economic transformation and enhance the economic participation of black people in the South African economy.
We want to play our part in bringing the majority of South Africans into the mainstream economy by:
- Boosting black ownership, management and employment equity;
- Developing skills of black employees;
- Supporting government projects at local, provincial and national levels, adhering to the principles as set out in the BBBEE legislation;
- Encouraging our stakeholders to comply with our BBBEE policies;
- Getting involved in discussions and policy inputs; and
- Motivating the private sector to co-finance BBBEE transactions.
