Tiger Brands Limited integrated annual report
2015
Transformation
In South Africa, we promote social transformation in the
interest of nation building, most notably through the
continued advancement of broad-based black economic
empowerment (B-BBEE) initiatives. Compliance with B-BBEE
and employment equity legislation is a business imperative
and our B-BBEE data and reporting is independently
assured. Tiger Brands retained its Level 3 contributor rating
for the year, as shown below.
The implementation of revised B-BBEE codes will have a
significant effect on Tiger Brands, in common with most
South African companies. Although our group falls under
the agricultural scorecard, for which new targets are still
to be published, we conducted an impact assessment in
December 2014 to prepare for the change. In a phased
action plan, closely tied to our strategic targets, we aim to
return to a level 4 rating within three years and regain our
level 3 status by 2020.

International employees are accounted for only where Tiger Brands is the majority shareholder.
The increase in the number of permanent employees is largely due to the permatisation of temporary employees.
The increase in temporary employees is due to a change in legislation regarding the classification of casual workers whose
working hours exceed a minimum threshold.
