Logistics major, Imperial Logistics, has retained its Level 3 contributor status on its latest broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BEE) scorecard.
Transformation director Sibongile Zikalala said that the highlights of the organisation’s recently issued scorecard included achieving full points for preferential procurement, enterprise development and socio-economic development. “We are also proud to have achieved 54% of the total employment equity score. In a largely male-dominated industry, it is especially significant that Imperial Logistics has increased the number of black women in management positions,” she said.
Zikalala pointed out that while Imperial Logistics’ latest scorecard was based on the previous codes, the group’s achievements in these areas was a key factor going forward as enterprise and supplier development, along with skills development, had been identified as B-BEE priority elements under the amended codes.
“We have aligned ourselves with, and are measuring ourselves against, the new codes to ensure that Imperial is well placed to rise to the challenges of the amendments when the Minister of Transport, Dipuo Peters, gazettes the transport sector’s new B-BEE Charter,” she said.
