Annual Enterprise Development Expo: Suppliers received ESD support to attend the Western Cape Annual Exhibition hosted by Smart Procurement World, in collaboration with Absa Enterprise Development at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on 7 March 2014. The forum presented them with the opportunity to market their goods and services, while networking with other key industry local clients.
Localisation: The B-BBEE Department, as part of ESD support, facilitated a meeting between PetroSA Procurement Department and a 100% Black-owned painting and coatings manufacturer. This initiative is one among the many to come which aims to promote and encourage local manufacturers to do business with PetroSA and increase local content.
Progress through Strategic Partnerships: During the period under review, PetroSA signed a memorandum of understanding with Standard Bank of South Africa to facilitate access to funding by our ESD suppliers. Funds were committed for non-financial support initiatives while other financial support avenues are being pursued.
