To BEE or not to bee?
If I was to ask you about BEE, you might think I was referring to those "Yellow & Black" striped creatures that are single minded in finding their way into your Coke can and then buzzzzzing around once they have landed in your sweet cola. But that's not really what's on my mind today. It's has far wider reaching repurcussions. BEE, that of Black Economic Empowerment. Just this past weekend, I helped a friend return an orphaned baby to an orphanage 40 mins out of Johannesburg, after a "weekend outing", and what struck home was the severity of those that need our help, from very grassroots level. I tell you from first hand experience it can easily reduce a grown man (or woman) to tears. We as Christensen Tools, would like to contribute to a better South Africa, for all of us and our children. We feel its more than just complying with the regulations & guidelines set out by government. We feel we have a responsibility. When fans meet on a Saturday to cheer on the Springboks (especially now that our trophy display is bulging), it's as if the lines of the country don't matter, everyone gets behind the team for the country. We have embraced BEE in the same light. We regularly make donations to Oliver's House, Cotlands, Kids Haven, Sparrow Schools Educational Trust - They are needs that touch our hearts. We have just recently been audited by a SANAS accredited rating agency and we have achieved a "LEVEL 4 contributor" Status. At first glance we are happy with this rating but we will be trying even harder in this coming year to continuously improve our score card.
