ASBIS Africa achieves level 3 B-BBEE certification, paving the way for empowerment and growth
ASBIS Africa, a subsidiary of ASBIS Group, has attained Level 3 Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) status with 51% black ownership. This significant milestone enhances the company’s commitment to transformation and positions its partners and clients for growth within the ICT value chain.
Why level 3 B-BBEE matters
The B-BBEE framework aims to foster inclusion across South Africa’s economy. By achieving Level 3 certification, ASBIS Africa provides partners with key compliance advantages, including a 110% procurement recognition level, meaning every rand spent equates to R1.10 in scorecard contributions, offering a competitive edge in business opportunities.
Key benefits for partners and resellers
– Scorecard boost. Partners earn 16 points toward their scorecards – 5 for regular BEE procurement and 11 from a 51% black-owned entity.
– Enhanced recognition. The 110% recognition level surpasses the standard 100% from most competitors, enhancing scorecard performance.
– Competitive advantage. Collaborating with ASBIS Africa yields greater contributions than generic suppliers, which typically offer just 5 points. Aligning with ASBIS Africa means more than accessing quality ICT solutions; it unlocks substantial business value.
Tsepo Mathebula, Director at ASBIS Africa, emphasizes that this achievement goes beyond compliance, reflecting a belief in the synergy of empowerment and innovation. The Level 3 certification grants partners enhanced BEE recognition and sustainable growth opportunities while contributing to a more inclusive ICT sector. As ASBIS Africa navigates industry challenges, its partners can be confident in aligning with a compliant, transformation-driven provider, ensuring both regulatory alignment and mutual growth in building a stronger ICT ecosystem.
