The following extract from the DTI B-BBEE Implementation Guidelines summarises the requirements for CSI:

“…Statement 700 adheres to the principle that socio-economic development initiatives should strive to facilitate access to the mainstream economy for black people. It does so by encouraging socio-economic development contributions linked to improving the financial circumstances of beneficiaries….”

The process to implement the DTI requirements is known as social entrepreneurship. Altered Attitudes cc was founded and is led by an acclaimed social entrepreneur, who has gained national and international recognition and awards. Social entrepreneurs have the same qualities as their conventional counterparts, but rather than focus on trade only, they transform societal problems into business solutions. We use her tried and tested strategies to accelerate our clients’ compliance with B-BBEE.
