Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 2003 (Act No. 53 of 2003)

Industry aligns itself with the national Codes of Good Practice on management control by committing to substantially increasing the number of black people, including black women, exercising management control over the forest industry. The industry as a whole is working from a low base and a concerted effort will be made by all sector role players in promoting the image of the Forest Sector, succession planning, implementing skills development programmes and recruiting suitable management staff, which are necessary to achieve these targets.
