Sustainability
Stefanutti Stocks has an established culture of investing in people. We are committed to this organisational value which provides the framework for the sustainable development and personal growth of our employees, colleagues, peers, and the local communities within which we operate.
We are passionate and committed to our sustainability initiatives, as well as to the people, businesses and organisations with whom we partner and often establish long-term relationships with.
We have shared some of our skills development, socio-economic development, enterprise development and other sustainability initiatives below. More in-depth case-studies, as well as information or background on what we do, can be found in our annual Sustainability Reports. For information on historical initiatives, please view the Sizimisele, a magazine published by the group until 2019.
People
Our culture of investing in people provides the framework for the personal growth and development of our employees, our colleagues and our peers, while also empowering them to take responsibility and ownership within the work place.
By creating an employer brand with which people strive to be associated, we attract talent that is highly skilled and energised by the challenges and opportunities that we provide. Our remuneration packages are very competitive, however, we place emphasis on performance-related benefits as well as the opportunity for individual growth.
Our HR service to all Stefanutti Stocks’ employees focuses on ensuring employee well-being, training, induction, recognition and reward, and leadership development. Our aim is to foster a culture based on superior performance that enables everyone to realise their full potential.

Procurement
At Stefanutti Stocks we strive to enable viable B-BBEE suppliers to participate in the main stream of the economy. We do so by facilitating access to procurement activities in line with our needs and project requirements.
We encourage current non-compliant B-BBEE suppliers to become B-BBEE compliant and to adopt a supportive culture when engaging and/or doing business with black empowered, EME or QSE suppliers.
In pursuit of our group’s preferential procurement objectives, and because small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) play a crucial role in job creation and economic growth in South Africa, we consider B-BBEE-compliant vendors who are able to guarantee performance, quality and safety standards while delivering competitive prices. We encourage our vendors to be a B-BBEE contributor level six or better.
Enterprise Development
Our group’s strategy is to foster strong working relationships with competent black-owned companies, and to develop them in a tangible and meaningful way to ensure that they become sustainable, while increasing their capacity to take on larger and more complex projects.
Some recent enterprise development initiatives are profiled below. For more case-studies, information or background on what we do, please view our annual Sustainability Reports as well as the Sizimisele, a magazine published by the group until 2019.
