Empowered Future.
AECI is committed to contributing towards the achievement of a sustainable socio-economic environment through the meaningful participation of Black people in the mainstream economy. AECI supports the South African government’s Broad Based Black Empowerment (“B-BBEE”) Act, No. 53 of 2003, the Codes of Good Practices gazetted in 2007 and the Amended Codes of 2013.
Our Commitment to B-BBEE
AECI fully supports the objectives of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Act, No. 53 of 2003, and the Amended Codes of Good Practice. Our transformation strategy is aligned to these frameworks, with focused efforts across ownership, management control, skills development, enterprise and supplier development, and socio-economic development.
We strive to make transformation tangible through:
-
Ownership & Equity Participation: Ensuring equitable representation of Black shareholders and meaningful participation in economic value creation.
-
Inclusive Leadership: Building diverse leadership teams that reflect the demographics of our country.
-
Skills Development: Investing in education, training and mentorship to unlock career growth for underrepresented talent.
-
Supplier Diversity: Supporting and partnering with Black-owned and Black-women-owned businesses through enterprise and supplier development initiatives.
-
Community Upliftment: Driving measurable social impact through targeted socio-economic development programmes that improve access to healthcare, education, food, and water.
