BBBEE Compliance

Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment is a mechanism intended to improve the levels of participation in the economy by South Africans who were previously disadvantaged. It is a business reality and will progressively become a requirement for securing future work, and in some cases a deciding factor when clients select a supplier.

Decoding has a significant database of BBBEE certificates, which are continually updated to ensure all certificates remain valid.

If you are a client needing to improve your BBBEE procurement score, our database can give you a head start. We will also collect certificates from your suppliers for you, prioritised by you.

For smaller suppliers (EME’s) we can assist in obtaining an auditor’s letter confirming your status.

Corporate Governance Information

Shareholders, the public and companies themselves want the assurance that that they are operating in an ethical and socially responsible manner. Good corporate governance also requires that your suppliers conduct business similarly.

Focus on corporate governance issues by government, and the associated legislation, is increasing.

Documentation such as BBBEE Certificates, Tax Clearances, Workman’s Compensation, and VAT amongst others, are key to maintaining governance standards.

Decoding offers an efficient and effective service to collect this documentation on your behalf.

Company Profiling

In today’s competitive environment, companies are increasingly relying on business and credit profile information to minimise risk, assess customers, suppliers and clients, and to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
