4.5 Illustrative example
Company A is a QSFI and elects to be measured against the following 5 elements:
• Ownership
• Management
• Employment Equity
• Preferential Procurement
• SED
Company A shall apply FS Codes 000, 100, 200, 300, 500 and 700 in their entirety, including all definitions, key measurement principles and scorecards in determining its performance.
Company A has determined its performance as follows:
|
Element |
Available Points |
Company A's Actual Points |
|
Ownership |
14 + 3 bonus |
10 (incl. Bonus) |
|
Management Control |
8 + 1 bonus |
6 (incl. Bonus) |
|
Employment Equity |
15 + 3 bonus |
11 (incl. Bonus) |
|
Preferential Procurement |
16 |
12 |
|
Socio-Economic Development |

3 |
|
Totals |
56 + 7 bonus = 63 |
42 (incl. Bonus) |
As per the formula detailed in paragraph 4.4.1 above:
Weighted Points = (42/63) x 100
= 66.67%
Company A's B-BBEE Recognition Level as per Table 1 above is therefore a Level 4 B-BBEE Contributor
