CMSA maintains its commitment and role toward transformation in South Africa, through embracing BBBEE throughout its operations. The company strives to:

· Be an equal opportunity employer, giving preference to, and aiming to increase, the number of employees from previously disadvantaged communities;

· Foster an awareness of diversity; and

· Empower employees through incentive schemes and upliftment projects, such as numeracy and literacy training.

The group has achieved a BBB-rating from SANAS-approved economic empowerment rating agency Empowerdex, verified in terms of the Department of Trade and Industry's Codes of Good Practice, thus solidifying the group as a 'Level 5' contributor to BBBEE in the country. The current accreditation represents a slight reduction in the rating with the group having achieved an A-rating or 'Level 4' contribution status in the previous scorecard.
