BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
The board of directors acknowledges the importance of BEE in the transformation of South Africa and has adopted a Broad-Based BEE Tourism Sector Charter that will secure and potentially increase Cullinan’s competitive advantage into the future.

The company has developed an internal scorecard approach with a 7 factor enabling framework, based on the Tourism BEE Charter and Scorecard as published by the Department of Trade and Industry and the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA), in order to both set objectives and track progress. Cullinan’s BEE contribution can be measured against this Scorecard.
