B-BBEE recognition

Hitting the high notes in its black economic empowerment (BEE) rating is the Durban-based SA Inland Logistics (SAIL) – which has just been graded as Level One in its B-BBEE status. With 100% black ownership, the logistics provider hits a top score line in the Equity Ownership, Management and Control and Employment Equity categories. “But, apart from these business elements, we are also very pleased to have hit a top score in the Socio-Economic Development category,” said sales director, Gerald Naidu. “This is recognition of what we are putting back into the community, and our contributions to a number of worthy charities.” A main area of focus for SAIL is the education element, with its “books for schools” distribution programme making a valuable contribution.
