| Suppliers | | | Our procurement policies seek to encourage sustainability and broad based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) by helping existing vendors to achieve the ratings required for sustainable economic development. This necessitates regular interaction with vendors so as to communicate important information such as required service levels and standards. | |
