It evaluates performance across key elements such as ownership, management control, skills development, enterprise and supplier development, and socio-economic development, assigning a score that determines the business’s B-BBEE level.
The B-BBEE scorecard comprises the following key elements:
- Ownership: 25 points
- Management Control: 19 points
- Skills Development: 20 points (+5 bonus points)
- Enterprise & Supplier Development: 40 points (+4 bonus points)

These elements collectively determine a company’s B-BBEE compliance level.
