Global Tier-1 service provider CMC Networks has secured the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Level 1 status for the fifth year running.
The Level 1 B-BBEE status provides several benefits for CMC Networks’ stakeholders in South Africa, including a procurement recognition of 135%.
“We are delighted to once again achieve the B-BBEE Level 1 status,” says Marisa Trisolino, CEO of CMC Networks. “Securing this recognition for the fifth year in a row reflects our dedication to inclusive growth and improving experiences for our customers. It’s not just about compliance. It’s about making a real difference to local communities, businesses and wider society.”
CMC Networks actively invests in skills development and career growth initiatives, with a strong focus on supporting unemployed youth. The company’s bursaries, learnerships and short courses are designed to build a skilled workforce.
“Real progress can only be made by empowering people with the right skills and opportunities,” says Trisolino. “That’s why we prioritise skills development, leadership coaching, mentorship and continuous learning at CMC Networks to provide ongoing opportunities and support. We put customers at the centre of everything we do, and our B-BBEE Level 1 status is a vital component of our overall business strategy. Together, we are creating an even stronger team of experts that are ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow for our customers and partners.”
