What you get
Know where to start
Across South Africa, corporates spend millions on ESD, yet programmes stall in Month 4 when classroom theory fails to translate into purchase orders. This diagnostic gives procurement heads an honest audit of programme design, supplier retention, and B-BBEE scorecard integrity.

- A view across six areas, from procurement alignment to SANAS audit readiness

Programme dimensions
The 6 areas we check
Dimension 2
Beneficiary Selection & Due Diligence
Example check: Suppliers are recruited based on commercial viability and growth hunger rather than compliance tick-boxes.
Dimension 3
Mentorship Efficacy & The Month-4 Stall
Example check: Our programme replaces passive classroom lectures with hands-on, 1-on-1 operational coaching on real bottlenecks.
Dimension 4
Working Capital & Payment Term Architecture
Example check: Our corporate procurement policy enforces early payment terms (e.g. 7 to 14 days) for verified ESD beneficiaries.
Dimension 5
Monitoring, Evaluation & Verifiable Impact
Example check: We track audited economic impact metrics quarterly: turnover growth, net profit margins, and permanent jobs created.
Dimension 6
SANAS Audit Readiness & Scorecard Integrity
Example check: All ESD grant agreements, loan contracts, and service confirmations are archived continuously in an audit-ready cloud vault.
How scoring works
Score each question 0, 1 or 2
Not yet (0): traditional tick-box approach. Partly (1): informal, without standard tracking. Yes (2): an embedded operating standard with auditable evidence. Add your points for a total out of 36, then find your tier.
0 – 12 points
Compliance-Only / High-Attrition
ESD deployed as a compliance tax. High dropout rates, buyers don't trust cohort graduates, and SANAS files are at risk. Overhaul beneficiary selection and tie curriculum to buy-books.
13 – 24 points
Operational / Vulnerable
Good intent and budget, but operational value leaks. Few suppliers graduate into active procurement vendors due to payment terms or lack of working capital bridging.
25 – 36 points
High-Impact Sustainable Supplier Engine
Gold standard! Aligns transformation spend with core procurement, builds real supplier capability, and ensures seamless SANAS compliance.
