Betapoint awarded a level 2 B-BBEE rating

Real estate management consultancy, Betapoint, is proud to announce the achievement of a level 2 B-BBEE rating. “Economic transformation should be an important part of every company’s agenda, our latest score reaffirms our commitment to the growth and prosperity of South Africa as a whole, and the real estate industry in particular,” comments Adam Sargent of Betapoint. 

The BEE scorecard ranks companies according to 5 criteria: Ownership; Management; Skills Development; Supplier and Enterprise Development; Socio-Economic Development. As Sargent states, however, true transformation is not just about meeting targets, it’s about continually striving to contribute to the industry and country that we serve, and developing human capital at all levels.

In October 2013, new and more stringent rules governing the BEE scorecard were introduced. These raised the bar on transformation, making it tougher for companies to merely “tick boxes. Sargent, however, sees these changes as more of an opportunity than an obstacle. “The success of any business is dependent on the strength and robustness of the industry that they operate in, real and meaningful transformation is key to securing a future for our industry by creating opportunity and areas of growth.” He goes on to state that, “For Betapoint, this is just the beginning, our commitment to transformation and the development and support of talent is something that is entrenched in our DNA.”
