Dube TradePort Recognised for Driving Transformation

Durban, South Africa – Dube TradePort recently was recognised by the KwaZulu-Natal government for its overall outstanding contribution to transformation in the province through the B-BBEE Compliance Awards 2021/22. This comes after the organisation’s transformation initiatives over the last year saw it improve its B-BBEE scorecard to a Level 2 B-BBEE contributor.

The B-BBEE Awards presented Dube TradePort Corporation with three awards for the most Improved B-BBEE Scorecard, Outstanding B-BBEE Scorecard and Overall Winner at Friday’s event.

Dube TradePort Corporation CEO, Mr Hamish Erskine said “As an organisation, we continue to focus our efforts on driving transformation through preferential procurement, enterprise development, employment equity initiatives and skills development through all our daily operations. Over the last seven years, Dube TradePort Corporation has implemented policies and programmes that have seen our B-BBEE scorecard move from a seven to a two, demonstrating our commitment to promoting meaningful economic participation of previously marginalized groups in all facets of our business.”

South Africa’s journey towards transformation and economic prosperity has been deeply intertwined with the implementation of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment. Designed to address historical injustices and create a more inclusive society, B-BBEE has emerged as a critical tool in reshaping South Africa’s economic landscape. By promoting equal opportunities and increasing the participation of previously marginalized communities, B-BBEE has played a pivotal role in fostering sustainable development, social cohesion, and long-term prosperity for the nation.
