Financial Mail: National Empowerment Scorecard Database

Financial Mail has joined forces with empowerment consultancies Ownership Solutions, Mpowered Business Solutions and Transcend Corporate Advisors, to create a national database that everyone can access, to complete the procurement sections of their own scorecards.

To make the database useful to everyone, they need every company in South Africa with an existing BBBEE scorecard certificate to register. For this reason they are also giving you the opportunity to communicate with all of your suppliers, at the click of a button.

Once your suppliers have placed their scorecard certificates on the database, you will have round-the-clock access to their scorecard files. All you have to do is log in and run a search using their company names.

You will also be able to search for potential suppliers based on region, BBBEE level, company size, industry and other criteria.

To get started click here and follow three easy steps.
