Indicative AgriBEE SCORECARD

 

The gazetting of a Transformation Charter in terms of Section 12 of the Act evidences the commitment by all stakeholders to promote BEE in the applicable sector. Section 12 Transformation Charters are not binding upon organs of state or public entities and   as such, these entities will apply the Generic Scorecard in their interactions with the agricultural sector until such time as Sector Codes have been gazetted in terms of Section 9 of the B-BBEE Act. 

 

The Indicative AgriBEE Scorecard should be regarded as an indication of what is likely to be included in possible, future Sector Codes for agriculture , but these Codes will be adapted to meet industry needs and to be  aligned with the final version of the Generic Codes of Good Practice as published by the Department of Trade and Industry.

 

Measurement Principles:

 

·         A Measured Enterprise’s score for a particular indicator is calculated by dividing the enterprise’s actual contribution (as described by the relevant indicator) by the corresponding target

·         The result is multiplied by the corresponding indicator weighting points to obtain a score for that indicator

·         Where the enterprise attains a score in excess of the indicator weighting points, the enterprise shall only be entitled to the corresponding weighting points

·         The score for an element is the sum of indicator scores under that element

·         A Measured Enterprise’s overall BEE score out of 100 will determine its BEE status and BEE procurement recognition  level

 

Targets contained in the Indicative AgriBEE Scorecard are based on those contained in the final version of Phase I of the Codes of Good Practice and those contained in the draft Phase II Codes of 20 December 2005, as well as on stakeholder inputs, comments and recommendations. Where no substantive reasons for deviation from targets contained in the Codes of Good Practice was put forward by stakeholders, targets have largely remained aligned with those contained in the abovementioned versions of the Codes. However, it should be noted that targets contained in Phase II of the Codes are subject to change, following a public commentary process. In this regard, the AgriBEE charter will align its targets to those contained in the final version of Phase II of the Codes, except where justification for deviation can be adequately provided on the basis of sound economic rationale and/ or sector development needs as part of the sector code development process.
