Medscheme embraces the principles of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) and supports the participation of previously disadvantaged people in the development of the South African economy.
We consider B-BBEE a critical success factor. For this reason, we have assigned ownership of each of the seven pillars of B-BBEE to a member of the executive team. Each executive is responsible for the successful implementation of projects that fall within scope.
Medscheme’s B-BBEE Status
Medscheme is currently rated a Level 3 contributor to B-BBEE as well as a value added supplier.
Our clients are therefore entitled to procurement recognition of 135% when purchasing services from Medscheme. This is the maximum in terms of the Department of Trade and Industry’s B-BBEE scorecard.
A B-BBEE audit is underway at Group level and we are confident that we will either maintain our current status, or advance to a Level 2 contributor.
