Black Lite profile

Page 3

Black lite (Pty) Ltd is a management consulting company that advises on integrated strategies which aim to address Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) and sustainable development in a value-adding manner.  In addition to this, we pride ourselves in being principal investors in green energy. Black lite consulting is a 100% Black owned, managed and controlled company as per the DTI’s Codes of Good Practice.  Our clients include ABSA Capital, Xstrata South Africa, Anglo American South Africa, Tsogo Sun, Sasol Limited Group, National Empowerment Fund, Kagiso Group Limited, and Department of Trade and Industry, amongst others. Black lite consulting was established from day one on the basis of sustainable empowerment as we believe strongly leaving a world for our children and their children that is habitable and that sustainability and empowerment are two sides of the same coin.  We view ourselves as being the primary drivers of this policy, not only theoretically in the form of the advisory work that we do for our clients, but most importantly we have taken a practical approach in this regard in our own business.   In our bid to reduce our carbon footprint we have taken a practical approach to sustainable empowerment in the following ways (amongst others):We have an environmental clause in all our mandates that require meetings (where possible) not to be held during peak hour traffic and allow staff to work flexible hours Our office is situated in a “green” building with evaporators not individual air conditioners;We have undertaken to plant a tree for every piece of furniture that we buy for our offices;We do not receive our news papers delivered to the office instead we read all our newspaper publications online;When travelling to client sites, we travel in one vehicle;We do not print any reports or post any invoices to clients instead we e-mail them

We, at black lite, believe that a fundamental principle of an empowered business is one that not only views success through the prism of profit but also appreciates the need to focus on environmental sustainability while addressing BBBEE, transformation, climate change and renewable energy in an integrated manner.

He has advised us on our BBEEE strategies in a value-adding way and his insights have also included strategies to improve our current scores over time. His advice often broadened to include the wider and deeper aspects of transformation including perspectives on the Mining Charter, DTI Codes, the new Mining Codes and connecting the dots back to the Minerals and Petroleum’s Development Resources Act (MPDRA). His advice nearly always tracked back to the fundamental issues of alignment, balance and sustainability. As someone who has been trained in reporting on sustainability issues, he often uses this lens to look at the key issues and this provides a powerful angle to the overall reporting. During this five year period he has become a strategic partner and adviser to Anglo’s SA businesses. He has always done so with tremendous enthusiasm and energy and an excellent drive for results. His work has been of a high quality and he is enormously aware of the customer imperatives. Ajay has always acted with honesty and integrity in his dealings with Anglo SA. It is fair to say that because of this our dealings progressed excellently because of the “trust relationship” with Ajay.
