Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE)

As a company with its roots in South Africa, the Directors of FP Engineering acknowledges that transforming our workplace and broader society is not only morally and ethically right, but it is also commercially prudent.

Morally, BBBEE is a necessary measure for the normalization of South African society given the emphasis that it places on the socio-economic up- lift ment of previously disadvantaged people. In this sense we recognize that FP Engineering constructive commitment to BBBEE will contribute to the creation of a better society for all South Africans.

Commercially, BBBEE will improve the buying power of the broader South African demographic, thereby expanding the markets in which we trade and increasing demand for the products that we supply. We recognize therefore that transformation is critical for the sustainability of a healthy society and our business, we understand the implications and challenges it presents and the opportunities and benefits that will materialize through successful transition.
