Boxer has a dedicated mandate to support, uplift and create opportunities for Small and Medium Businesses across Southern Africa through empowerment of local individuals and organisations. BBBEE remains a top priority along with the efforts to educate and assist the creation of suppliers that can contribute to the Boxer brand.
Sowing the Seeds of Growth:
Boxer helps local small to medium enterprises within the various communities in which we trade, by providing a ready market for their products to be sold at reasonable prices. By doing this, Boxer creates entrepreneurship opportunities, job creation and improves the economic state of the towns and areas in which they trade.
Enterprise & Supplier Development Programme:
Boxer’s ESDP assists selected diverse and ethical small businesses to enter the retail market by putting their products in front of our customers. Our ESDP provides a platform for small businesses to become successful and sustainable suppliers to the retail sector.
Information Toolkit for Small Suppliers
Boxer has a comprehensive guide for small businesses that intend on supplying retail with their goods. The aim of the Toolkit is to increase local procurement by accelerating small suppliers into the Boxer Supply Chain. In addition we want to improve and develop a great quality and range of local products at competitive prices.
Eastern Cape Farmers Project:
Working with W&R SETA, Boxer has assisted more than 300 farmers in the Eastern Cape as part of the Boxer Agri-Project. The project up-skills and trains farmers in the methods and processes aligned to retail ready farming practices, ensuring a bright future for the many hard working farmers who want to create a business out of their farming efforts.
Progressive Business Support:
Boxer has always been one with our various communities; therefore, fully embracing the BBBEE requirements set out by Government was not a difficult task but merely a continuation of the intertwined work we have been doing for decades. This is evident in the many enterprise development projects being done and supported by the Boxer Company throughout South Africa. We strive to support companies that are BBEEE certified. We invest time, skills and effort to those businesses and people who were previously disadvantaged to help grow their businesses and in doing so help grow South Africa.
Helping SMME’s Grow:
Boxer helps local small to medium enterprises within the various communities in which we trade, by providing a ready market for their products to be sold at reasonable prices. By doing this, Boxer creates entrepreneurship opportunities, job creation and improves the economic state of the towns and areas. Growing together with our local SMMEs is something of great importance to Boxer. We have a Boxer team dedicated to providing much needed financial and business advice to grow existing and new businesses in an effort to ensure that they become viable contenders within the retail market place.
