Bridgestone SA (BSAF) has announced that it is now Level 3 B-BBEE certified – the first in the tyre manufacturing industry.
“Coming from level 4 in 2019, having been at level 7 previously, the latest certification was achieved despite the concurrent effects of stiff competition, the pandemic and an economy already in recession prior to the first lockdowns,” the company said.
BSAF Chief People Officer Julia Modise said: “Bridgestone is incredibly proud to be the only tyre manufacturer to reach this level of transformation.”
She added: “Most critically, this new level of transformation in the company, supply chain and the community, means that customers who procure from BSAF will receive the benefit of working with an organisation that puts transformation at its core, as well as 110% in their procurement spend recognition according to the B-BBEE Code of Good Practice.”
