Environmental & Social Performance

The numbers, once a year, whether they flatter us or not.

What we run, what we measured, what we're changing — reported with the discipline we apply to client delivery: real numbers, stated assumptions, named owners. Re-issued every twelve months, including the numbers that moved the wrong way.

People, skills and transformation

Workforce & skills

~250–300 people across South Africa, India and Romania, with SA our home base and largest talent pool.
Every consultant carries a company-funded certification path in Salesforce and cloud platforms.

Building African tech talent

Junior South African talent is paired with senior architects on live financial-services work — production experience, not bench time.
The three-hub model transfers skills into South Africa as SA teams grow up the value chain.

Transformation

A B-BBEE Level 1 contributor — full procurement recognition for our clients.
B-BBEE is a business imperative for Cloud23, not a form-filling exercise; detailed metrics are reported in the full annual statement.

Labour compliance

Registered Compensation Fund employer; UIF and SDL registered; POPIA-compliant.
Full adherence to the BCEA, LRA and Employment Equity Act, and equivalent labour law in India and Romania.
