Izikhulu BEE Ratings Izikhulu BEE Ratings is a SANAS Accredited BEE Verification Agency, being 1 of only 29 in the country, and 1 of 5 in KZN. Government has gazetted that companies may only use accredited agencies from 01 February 2010 in a bid to clean up and provide credibility to the verification industry. The time, effort and funding requirements to achieve this accreditation from the highest accreditation authority in the country (SANAS) was significant, and the process rigorous. This achievement hence demonstrates the commitment and long term vision of Izikhulu in attaining and maintaining a leadership role.
We are also the only 100% black women owned accredited verification agency in KZN (1 of 2 in the country) and our staff profile consists of the following:
86% black women
100% women
Hence, we consider ourselves one of the very few fully empowered, grass-roots verification agencies that live the principles of BBBEE.
We have been independently rated as a Level 1, value-adding supplier to BBBEE for the second year in a row, hence demonstrating our application of BBBEE. This rating score is the maximum any company can achieve and allows our clients to claim 168% of their spend on us on their own scorecard.
