Multinationals with local representation will implement B-BBEE strategies according to the guidelines set out in this SS Code. These will be encouraged to sell equity in their local operations.
If the multinational is unable to sell equity due to a global practice preventing this, they should consider an Equity Equivalent Programme. The guidelines for this programme are set out in Code 100 of the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice.

Sub minimum impositions:

The sub-minimum imposition is 40%, and is imposed on each indicator.
Essentially, this means that unless a sub-minimum of 40% of the indicator’s target is achieved no points will be allocated for that indicator.
This applies to both the Generic and the Qualifying Small Enterprise scorecard, as well to the adjusted recognition for gender calculation.
