Broad-based black economic empowerment came into practice in 2003 and has since evolved rapidly.
The fundamental purpose of B-BBEE is to promote viable economic empowerment of all black people – including in particular, women, youth, persons with disabilities and people living in rural areas – through diverse, integrated socio-economic strategies.
Bidvest Paperplus (Pty) Ltd is a 100% owned subsidiary of The Bidvest Group and therefore shares in its empowerment initiatives.
