SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Holomatrix (PTY) LTD is a company duly registered in terms of the companies act with registration number: 2003/014859/07 and we qualify as a small to medium enterprise, with a broad based black economic empowerment plan,    as contemplated in section 11(2)(c) of the broad based black economic empowerment act, 2003 (act no. 53 of 2003).

We acknowledge the importance of BBBEE in the transformation of South Africa, as well as long term organisational and shareholder benefits. Our main place of business is situated at: 17 Grasmere Road, Windermere, Durban, 4001.

We are committed to the objectives of BBBEE and we endeavor to explicitly integrate these principles into our business. As a company we have recommitted ourselves to implementing the New Codes of Good Practice promulgated in May 2015.

We will continue to support this uniquely South African system of social accounting and its intent to remedy imbalances of the past and ensure equal opportunities for all South Africans.

Our efforts will include robust staff retention and succession planning strategies, continued skills development of all employees, changing the face of our suppliers and through creating opportunities for small black owned and black female owned businesses. We also work in the development space through socio-economic development interventions aimed at enhancing quality of life.

We propose to facilitate inclusivity through Skills Development, Ownership, Management Control, Enterprise and Supplier Development, as well as removing economic barriers for black people.

This envisaged empowerment process will be addressed in a holistic and systematic manner which will continue to be driven at management and directorship level.

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

We aim to empower our employees using specialised service providers who are accredited by MERSETA.

We will arrange for the targeted number of learnerships which will engage the following:

Off-site and on-site learnerships

Disabled and able-bodied

Mix of race and gender to meet demographics

Mainly Manufacturing, finance, business and administrative-related.

SOCIO ECONOMIC INITIATIVES

As part of our CSR program we have implemented socio-economic contributions mentioned above as well as in the form of compensation of the school fees of previously disadvantaged staff members’ children by the company.

We are also committed to the environment by recycling all our metal, plastic and paper within the organisation. We are a proudly South African company and continue to provide employment to our local community first and foremost. Our product is manufactured in South Africa and most components are sourced from neighboring companies that meet our supplier requirements. Holomatrix is committed to educating and upskilling our internal staff wherever possible and aligned with specific learnership programs relevant to our Industry. Each year at least two employees will graduate.

We embark on specific volunteer projects each year. We have proudly transformed two homes that house 6 people each in an orphanage called “LIV”. We continue to assist by volunteering at our local baby home, Ray of Hope, through providing love, support, food and maintenance. We have provided jungle gyms to under-privileged schools in the area through a local NPO organisation called “We are Durban” who are committed to uplifting communities in the KwaZulu-Natal area.

We are passionate about supporting Children with Cancer and each year one of the Directors raises at least R5000 – R7500 by swimming the Midmar Mile for a local charity called CHOC which is an NPO that houses children with cancer during their treatment.

Our Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment transformation and CSR Program will always continue beyond legal compliance. This journey is set to positively impact on the development and participation of our staff, the communities we work with and to transform South African society.
