iBurst BEE empowered
BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) is one of those buzzwords that is tossed around like confetti at a wedding. But what does it mean in real terms?
To us it means that we at iBurst are committed to creating and maintaining the principles of equal opportunity.
So, our company strategy embraces values of recruitment that are aimed at a fair representation of all South African race groups at all levels. The rainbow nation in one company, as it were.
We also believe that involvement in social responsibility programmes is a key investment in the development of the South African economy.
Where we stand
iBurst has been rated by a recognised BEE verification agency as a BEE compliant company. This means we have a valid BEE scorecard.
The technicalities
BEE is a requirement of the Government of the Republic of South Africa. Our commitment to it is in line with:
- the provisions of the ICT (Information Communication Technology ) Charters;
- the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act that sets guidelines for compliances with the values of BEE;
- and the Codes of Good Practice on Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment.
