Driving meaningful transformation through empowerment, localisation, and skills development for a sustainable South African future.

B-BBEE:

Empowerment, Localisation and Skills Development
Transformation is not about compliance, it is a business imperative. We are committed to transformation not only as a business goal but equally as a national economic necessity.

As a B-BBEE Level 3 Contributor, Lesedi believes that black economic empowerment is an essential ingredient in facilitating the meaningful participation of the historically disadvantaged persons at all levels of the South African economy.

Through proactive initiatives and partnerships, we continually seek to innovate and adapt, ensuring that our practices align with evolving social and economic realities Being a South African company also enables Lesedi to master an excellent understanding of localisation in the context of executing power infrastructure projects.This model will continue as Lesedi expands its footprint to Africa.

EMPOWERMENT:

Our people are our major asset, thus creating a diverse work environment with a culture of teamwork, strong and accessible leadership, and high-quality standards throughout business processes is vital. For this reason, the company invests heavily in selecting, retaining, and empowering employees, as well as maintaining an equitable corporate culture in which everyone can thrive.

LOCALISATION:

The localising of its engineering know-how receives a major emphasis in the business. This includes encouraging foreign project partners operating in Southern Africa to do the same. Lesedi maximises the use of in-house expertise and local resources in South Africa, for design, supply of material, manufacturing, testing and administration activities. This approach fosters local economic development, builds trust with the community, and ensures efficient project execution.

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT:

At Lesedi we are dedicated to capacitating our employees to achieve quality and high standards of delivery on all projects by providing skilled engineers, project managers, and support services. Our commitment to continuous learning helps our teams stay competitive and innovative, we also focus on transforming through training and development, creating opportunities for our people to grow and succeed while supporting the long-term goals of the company.
