Equity and B-BBEE
We’re very proud to announce that colabIT is now a Level 1, Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) contributor, an achievement which marks a significant milestone in our transformation journey. And as this journey continues, we remain fully committed to making a meaningful and sustainable contribution to the growth of the South African economy.
Our approach to transformation is holistic and is integrated into how the business operates and our commitment to putting people at the heart of what we do. We’re proud of the strides we’ve made in implementing what was intended by the spirit of the Codes of Good Practice – we’re committed to making a difference, from our approach to workforce diversification and our emphasis on skills development, to our supplier network, and creating value for the people of South Africa through enterprise development and our investment in the community.
The company proudly holds a Level 1 Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment contributor status, reflecting its commitment to transformation, workforce diversification, skills development, and contributing to South Africa’s economic growth. This status also offers partners enhanced value in procurement spend.
Procurement and SMME Development
colabIT is in the process of developing robust Preferential Procurement processes that influence both the purchasing behaviour of the company, as well as the understanding of our suppliers from a transformation perspective. Part of this journey includes the support and development of SMME’s and is underpinned by our Preferential Procurement Policy:
Employee Development
colabIT is fortunate to enjoy a high skills retention rate. We believe this can be attributed to a strong internal focus on personal growth within the organisation. By giving staff the opportunity to advance their skills by earning certifications and tertiary qualifications in business and IT, we ensure that each and every member of the colabIT family is afforded the opportunity to progress. Through a schools sponsorship program colabIT is investing in the future, providing today’s learners with the opportunity to grown into tomorrow’s leaders.
So much more than just an IT service provider!
