  8. The Scorecard: Option 1 • Ownership The following categories of black shareholding will give an organisation the BEE status of a: Black Influenced Company 5,0% - 25,0%; Black Empowered Company 25,1% - 50,0%; Black Owned Company 50,1% or more. An organisation will generally qualify as a BEE supplier where it has the status of being a: Black Empowered entity (25,1% to 50% shareholding) , or a Black Owned entity (50,1%+ shareholding).

  9. The Scorecard: Option 2 The Broad-based Scorecard The various charters include a scorecard as a measurement process Example: The Department of Trade and Industry Generic Scorecard (DTI Scorecard) - The scorecard consists of seven core components (indicators). - Each of the components has a weighting attached (i.e. a maximum possible score out of 100 is applied to each element). - The exact method of scoring within each of the core elements has not been determined by DTI and is therefore open to interpretation. Weighting The Scorecard 1. Black Ownership and Control 20% 2. Black Executive Management 10% 3. Employment Equity 10% 4. Skills Development 20% 5. Affirmative Procurement 20% 6. Enterprise Development 10% 7. Residual (Corporate Social Investment) 10% TOTAL 100%

  10. The Scorecard: Option 2 continued An organisation can be rated in one of three possible categories: -A score of up to 39.9% on the scorecard = a Limited Contributor to BEE. -A score of 40% to 64.9% on the scorecard = a Satisfactory Contributor to BEE. -A score of 65% or more on the scorecard = a Good Contributor to BEE. • An organisation will generally qualify as a BEE supplier where it is classified as a : • Satisfactory Contributor to BEE, or a, • Good Contributor to BEE

The Score • Points are scored in proportion to the level of shareholding. • In terms of the new Codes of Good Practice, it is likely that points will be allocated in terms of various aspects such as voting rights, economic benefits (dividends), gender, and restrictions placed on shareholding.

  12. Core element # 2: Black Executive Management 10% Notes Must include Management and/or Control by Black People at Board and/or Executive Management levels and who have the power and authority to manage assets, determine policies, and direct business operations.

Measurement Points will be scored here based on the skills spend as a % of the total basic payroll per annum. The Score Scored as a percentage of the set target.

  15. Core element # 5: Affirmative Procurement 20% Notes • Determine the level of BEE of your suppliers in terms of their own Charter Scorecard, if available, or apply the DTI generic scorecard. • Suppliers qualify as BEE suppliers where they have black ownership and control exceeding 25%, or where they have an acceptable BEE score in terms of the DTI scorecard, or such acceptable score or rating as determined by any other recognized ratings agency. • Ascertain the total procurement spend for a period, including goods and services from trade suppliers, as well as from suppliers of other services purchased during the normal course of business. • Exclude purchases that from a BEE perspective are uncontrollable.
