Unlocking Ethical Business Growth: Join the Launch of the Ethical Supplier Project
May 20 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, ethical practices and accountability are the cornerstone of sustainable growth and societal trust. Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) are the backbone of South Africa’s economy, yet they often face systemic barriers to participating in ethical procurement and compliance frameworks. Without equitable access to knowledge and resources, these challenges can perpetuate inequality and hinder economic inclusion.
The National Business Initiative (NBI), in partnership with the GIZ, is excited to invite you to the official launch of the Ethics Coalition for Business (EC4B): Ethical Supplierproject– a transformative initiative aimed at actively equipping SMMEs with tools, knowledge, and cross-sector partnerships to thrive with integrity.
As a leading organisation driving transparency and accountability, the NBI is proud to deliver this key initiative under our Building Trust and Accountability (BTACC) Pathway. Through capacity building, deepened dialogue, and thought leadership, we’re contributing towards strengthening responsible business practices that contribute to societal well-being.
Event highlights:
• The launching of “Tips and Tales Guide and Learning Digital Platform’’ aimed at building SMME capacity.
• Showcasing the Integrity Talks Podcast Series with Sappi, bp and Aurex.
• Insightful research on SMMEs’ ethical procurement challenges.
• SMME experience in ethical business, compliance, and sustainability.
• Strategies for cross-sector collaboration to strengthen ethical business practice.
We believe your voice and expertise are critical to shaping an inclusive, ethical, and sustainable business ecosystem in South Africa. Together, we can build the foundations for a more equitable economy and a trusted private and public sector.
