Our Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) programme is a strategic pillar in our mission to build inclusive, resilient economies. From our founding, we have recognised the importance of supporting the communities we operate in. Through targeted support for Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs), we enable local businesses to grow sustainably, create employment, and stimulate economic activity that benefits entire communities. Our ESD initiatives are designed to deliver measurable impact, ensuring that the businesses we support become engines of transformation in their regions.

Beneficiaries range across industries, including construction, ablution waste management, electrical services, catering, wate management, transport and logistics, and others.  Support is based on the specific needs and can range from working capital to office supplies, coaching and mentorship and marketing support.
