Powerful and empowered:
Dekra Industrial has achieved a current overall Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment
(B-BBEE) status of Level 1. This rating, effective from 01 April 2023, comes after the company
was previously recognised as a Level 3 contributor with effect from 28 April 2022.
Managing Director Johan Gerber clarifies: “The change from Level 3 to Level 1 status in just
over a year is a tremendous achievement, and we are very pleased and proud to make this
announcement! The revised status gives Dekra Industrial access to tenders for state-owned
enterprises (SOEs) and other projects, where having a Level 1 or 2 status is a minimum
requirement. Furthermore, when the tender stipulates the minimum requirement of a Level 2
status, having a Level 1 status is then an added competitive advantage, with a 135% BEE
procurement recognition.
