Our aim is to create a pool of qualified South Africans, from all ethnic backgrounds, who are capable of shouldering the burden of managing the company’s investments. We are committed to assisting our people, at all levels, in reaching their full potential, and affording them every opportunity to advance their own careers, thereby promoting the company’s interest in the emerging South Africa. Our Empowerment Programme addresses the business and personal advancement opportunities as well as entrepreneurial development of previously disadvantaged communities and companies.
We have developed a robust partnership model to provide Pan-African installation and support services for customer facilities across Sub-Saharan Africa to overcome some of the complexities often faced doing business in the region. These partnerships improve cost efficiencies and ensure a speedy resolution to service related problems that can occur.
