Endorsed by the Commission for Gender Equality and United Nations Women, Standard Bank Top Women Awards is South Africa’s gender empowerment brand. It honours organisations in both the public and private sectors that prioritise gender empowerment as an aspect of their business strategies. After extensive research and rigorous benchmarking, Afrirent has successfully met the stringent criteria for this esteemed recognition.

The criteria for being recognised as a top gender empowered company include demonstrating female ownership, shareholding, or partnership, having female executive directors, and maintaining a significant presence of female employees, especially at senior management level. Moreover, organisations must have robust female-empowerment company policies, focus on women-centred skills development, and exhibit a strong triple bottom line.

"Being recognised as one of South Africa’s Top Gender Empowered Companies is a significant milestone for Afrirent Holdings. This ranking is especially meaningful for a fleet management and logistics company where the need for greater representation of women in leadership roles remains critical. Our comprehensive policies and initiatives are designed to promote an inclusive and supportive work environment for women, addressing the industry-wide underrepresentation of women in our sector. Although women are making strides in entering the workforce, there is still much work to be done to achieve true equality. We will continue to champion gender empowerment and ensure that our initiatives have a lasting impact on our employees and the communities we serve," says Thenjiwe Tsabedze, CEO at Afrirent Holdings.

Afrirent's commitment to gender empowerment goes beyond meeting criteria — it is about creating a legacy of equality and opportunity. We believe that diverse and inclusive workplaces drive innovation and success, benefiting not only our organisation but also the broader community. As we celebrate this recognition, we remain dedicated to pushing boundaries, breaking down barriers, and paving the way for future generations of women leaders.
