Ranking of total scores

Total score of 65% and above - good contributor to broad-based BEE

Total score of 40% to 64.9% - satisfactory contributor to broad-based BEE

Total score of below 40% - limited contributor to broad-based BEE¹ The conversion of raw scores into total scores is calculated as a 100/target ratio, times the percentage achieved by an enterprise, expressed as a proportion of the weighting. I.e. if the target for management control in 2006 is 20% and an enterprise achieves 10%, the raw score will be 100/20 X 10% = 50%. The 2006 total score for that enterprise will then be 5% (which is 50% of 10%). This will be calculated for each indicator and timeframe (2006 and 2012).² Black people means African, Coloured and Asian South African citizens.³ Black companies mean companies that are more than 50,1% owned and are controlled by black people.⁴ To prevent conflict with other industry charters, scores need to be linked with the broad based BEE scorecards.⁵ See footnote 4.
