According to Harry Mootseng, the founder and Managing Director of the BeesmeNetwork - BBBEE is NOT only about equity; it involves more than just compliance linked verification - enterprises must implement BEE strategies as a central component of a business growth plan. If your own customers are already demanding to see your BBBEE status, good business practice dictates that you provide your customers with what they need! These Codes of Good Practice, as well as the Promotion of Access to Information Act, requires that all businesses are BBBEE compliant, and that this information has to be accessible through independent, transparent, non-conflicting media.
