In a significant milestone for Ciro, we are proud to announce that we have improved our Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) status from Level 3 to Level 2. This achievement highlights Ciro’s commitment to transformation and compliance with the country’s BBBEE Codes of Good Practice, thus contributing to South Africa’s economic growth and prosperity and positions Ciro as a supplier of choice.
Ciro, the beloved host of some of the country’s most iconic coffee brands, has been an integral part of the South African coffee scene for over 70 years. With a reputation for delivering consistent quality, innovative products, and excellent value across wholesale, retail, hospitality, and business sectors, Ciro has garnered the trust of commercial clients and consumers alike. By attaining Level 2 BBBEE status, we have demonstrated our commitment to meaningful transformation and economic empowerment. BBBEE aims to create a more equitable business environment by providing opportunities for historically disadvantaged individuals to participate in the economy and share in its benefits. Ciro’s achievement is a testament to the company’s dedication to fostering inclusivity and uplifting marginalised communities.
The Impact of BBBEE Level 2:
Ciro’s BBBEE Level 2 status offers numerous advantages and benefits. Firstly, it signifies that Ciro has attained a high level of compliance with the country’s BBBEE Codes of Good Practice, reflecting its commitment to contributing to South Africa’s economic growth and prosperity. This achievement also positions Ciro as a preferred partner for businesses looking to fulfill their own BBBEE requirements.
Furthermore, achieving Level 2 BBBEE status enhances Ciro’s ability to form alliances and collaborations with other BBBEE-compliant entities, further fostering economic growth and transformation. By actively promoting empowerment and diversity, Ciro is leading by example and inspiring other businesses to prioritise BBBEE compliance, ultimately fueling a more inclusive and prosperous South Africa.
A Symbol of Transformation and Progress:
Ciro’s achievement of Level 2 BBBEE status is a proud moment not just for the company but the entire South African coffee industry. It illustrates the positive impact that businesses can make when they prioritise economic empowerment and inclusivity. Through our internationally certified barista training programs, support services, and innovative product offerings, we have been instrumental in creating opportunities for employment, skills development, and career advancement within the coffee industry.
As we continue to grow and innovate, we remain steadfast in our commitment to driving positive change and making a meaningful impact. By actively engaging in initiatives that promote economic empowerment and social upliftment.
As we celebrate this achievement, we are inspired to continue to work together to build a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
