Supplier Development focuses on improving the capabilities and competitiveness of a company’s suppliers, particularly black-owned businesses. It includes providing training, mentorship, and access to finance, among other initiatives. The aim is to enhance local supplier development programs and increase procurement from black-owned businesses.
Enterprise Development, on the other hand, focuses on providing financial and non-financial support to small and black-owned businesses to help them grow and succeed. This can include providing funding, mentorship, training, and other support initiatives.
Both Supplier Development and Enterprise Development are important components of the B-BBEE scorecard, and companies are required to achieve a sub-minimum score in each of these elements to avoid a decrease in their overall B-BBEE status. By focusing on these elements, companies can contribute to the economic transformation of South Africa and help to create a more inclusive and equitable society.
