Overview

Overview of the amended BEE scorecard

Ownership:

This is a priority element. (Priority elements: If companies do not reach minimum

40% of the points available in a priority element, they are discounted by one level on

their scorecard.)

Management Control:

This element measures your representation of Black persons at Senior, Middle and

Junior Management. Companies must be compliant to the Employment Equity Act

, to be considered for any points here.

Skills Development:

Skills development is also a priority element, with 25 points available. This category

refers to Skills Development of staff members, as well as unemployed Black

persons. Emphasis is placed on formal learning- informal training can only score

maximum of 15% of the points. Should the company decide to take on the learner

after a year on the job, the company receives the extra 5 bonus points.  It is

important to note that legislated training such as OHSACT does not count towards

Skills Development points. Companies must have a SETA approved Workplace

Skills Plan , in order to be considered for any points under

this element.

Enterprise and Supplier Development (Inc Procurement):

This element is also a priority element. The Supplier Development portion of the

scorecard encourages companies to assist their Black owned suppliers with support

to ensure they become sustainable and viable businesses. Procurement from all of

your suppliers is measured and points allocated accordingly. Companies looking to

have a competitive scorecard will therefore have to re-evaluate suppliers to ensure

optimal scores are achieved.

Socio-Economic development:

This category remains unchanged, and refers to contributions to charitable

organisations or individuals who qualify as Black beneficiaries.
