Utilisation of black business as sub-contractors and outsourcing.
The Company is actively pursuing and has an established system of empowering Black entrepreneurs in the form of developing small businesses in either an Owner Driver or sub-contractor format.
These entrepreneurs are presented with considerable earning potential and opportunities to enhance their quality of life. The Company?s infrastructure is on hand to provide financial sureties, operational and administrative training and services and an advice service on issues ranging from insurance to financial planning to tax implications.
Currently 75 Owner Driver/Contractors, operating 86 vehicles and providing employment to in excess of 100 people, are servicing clients on behalf of our operations within the borders of the Republic. They operate primarily out of the Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth areas but also including the outlying regions.
Some 95% of these entrepreneurs come from disadvantaged backgrounds i.e. 36 African, 20 Coloured and 15 Indian and progress in this regard has far exceeded targets.
On a similar basis Courierit has outsourced many of its routes or same-day collection services to small black owned businesses particularly in the Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg areas.
It is the declared policy of Courierit to insist that suppliers prove their commitment to Black Economic Empowerment and Employment Equity. As a result, black controlled Companies and Companies with significant black shareholding are suppliers of e.g. fuel, tyres, stationary and security services to the Company.
