BBBEE

 

The Scorecard
 

 

Catalyx provides consulting services around all the elements of the BBBEE codes, namely:

​

• Ownership

• Management Control

• Skills Development

• Enterprise and Supplier Development

• Social Economic Development

 

Our services apply to all types of organisations including, Exempt Micro-Enterprises (EMEs), Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSEs), Generic Enterprises. Clients can engage with us, prior to their undergoing verification, as means of preparation or after verification as a means of setting out and implementing a process leading to an improved score on the subsequent verification. 

Catalyx specialises in 3 of the broad-based components of the scorecard, as they speak to the overall mission of the company as a consultancy focusing on social/developmental issues.  These three components are:

Enterprise/Supplier Development

Enterprise Development (ED) is perhaps the least understood and implemented of all the codes. Yet, because of its broad based character, and that the fact that it speaks to developing industry related capacity, it is one of the most effective drivers of BBBEE. Catalyx is uniquely placed to deliver expert advice in this area. Catalyx designs and manages various supplier and enterprise development solutions for its clients, and also refers to specialist service providers where relevant.

Social Economic Development

Social Economic Development is one of the most cost effective methods of scoring BBBEE points on the scorecard. Yet many organisations either don’t know how to identify credible social partners or how to implement programs that deliver real social gains for the recipients, while at the same time offering strategic value for the business. With our many years of experience in the non-profit sector, Catalyx has a vast network of relationships with credible social partners in everything from home based care to community policing. 

Skills Development   

Skills Development (SD) is perhaps the single most important aspect of the BBBEE project, in that it makes provision for the long term empowerment of previously disadvantaged citizens. Through its relationship with the World Changers Academy and prior initiatives, Catalyx has more than 20 years experience in the skills development environment. We have brought that experience to bear in creating product solutions to meet clients’ needs in meeting their BBBEE obligations, while enjoying the bottom line benefits of developing skills base of their employees. 

BEE Verification Services

Catalyx is not itself a verification agency. However, Catalyx has a close relationship with several verification agencies, including BEE Rated, SAB&T, Empowerdex and Aqrate. Joe White, one of the directors of Catalyx, did Verifications previously for SAB&T (when it was called Integra Scores). Catalyx will guide the clients through the verification process and can even manage all the engagement with the verification agency where desired.
