Ownership 13
KEY CHANGES • The points for ownership broadened to include designated groups in the body of the scorecard and not as bonus points • Inclusion of sub-minimum target of 40% based on net value • Discounting of overall scorecard points if sub-minimum of 40% of points is not met • Removal of bonus points • Inclusion of New Entrants in the body of the scorecard and not as a bonus point • Modified flow through and exclusion principle can’t be used together (SOE and Mandated Investments ownership) • The period over which the continued recognition points are allocated or recognised will not exceed the period over which the shares were held. 14
KEY CHANGES • Management Control was adjusted to include Senior Management and Middle from Employment Equity • Management Control was aligned to the Commission for Employment Equity report (CEE Report) • The compliance targets were aligned to the CEE report • Black board participation was also adjusted and aligned to the CEE report • Junior Management no longer measured as the targets have been achieved according to the CEE report • There are some challenges with the current calculation for EAC although the intent is clear 16
KEY CHANGES • Introduced a General Principles section to outline alignment between the element and the broader government objectives • Introduced a sub-minimum as a requirement for scoring • Based the compliance targets for the Skills Development scorecard on the Economically Active Population demographic representation of black people as defined • Broadened the learnership sub-element to include apprenticeships and internships • Removed the focus on training towards employees exclusively and broadened it to encompass the unemployed by also increasing the target • Introduced an absorption target • Revised the learnership matrix to only give recognition for targeted training 18
KEY CHANGES • Preferential Procurement and Enterprise Development were merged to form an element to be known as Enterprise and Supplier Development • General Principles to outline alignment between the element and the broader government objectives • The weighting for Enterprise and Supplier Development set at 40 points from previous 35 points • Increased targets for > 50% black owned companies to 40% • Converted the >30% black women owned companies target to 51% owned by Designated Group Suppliers and made the target 12 % • Enhanced recognition for procurement from new enterprises, and procurement from black QSEs and EMEs for a 3 year period • Most exclusions are now included as part of Total Procurement Spend • Expanded the scorecard to distinguish between enterprise development contributions and supplier development contributions • Introduced a General Principles section to outline alignment between enterprise and supplier development initiatives with the supply chains of Measured Entities and broader government objectives 20
Further considerations • In order to bridge the gap, the codes seek to encourage: • Strengthen local procurement in order to improve SA’s industrial base in critical sectors of production and value adding manufacturing which are largely labour intensive; • Increase local procurement through capacity building achieved by local supplier development programmes by businesses supplying imported goods or services; • Recognise only empowering suppliers – Those that contribute to local production, job creation, beneficiation and skills transfer to black EMEs and QSEs; • Diversifying supply chains by encouragement of procurement from start ups; • Supplier development programmes linked to procurement; • Market access opportunities for EMEs and QSEs through the provision of long term contracts; • Specific encouragement of procurement and enterprise development for the benefit of black EMEs and QSEs • Enterprise and supplier development initiatives to be aligned with the designated sectors of government’s localisation and value adding programmes • The types of programmes encouraged under Enterprise and Supplier Development are by and large similar to those that were previously contained in Code 600 of the previous Codes. 23
