CMC Networks, a global Tier-1 service provider, has secured the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Level 1 status in South Africa for the fifth year running. This achievement demonstrates the company’s commitment to delivering inclusive business opportunities, enhancing customer experiences and promoting a fair economy.
The Level 1 B-BBEE status provides several benefits for CMC Networks’ stakeholders in South Africa, including a procurement recognition of 135 percent. This enables CMC Networks’ customers to claim 135% of their spend toward their own B-BBEE score and improve their compliance. It also provides key competitive advantages in terms of brand reputation, recognition and growth potential.

“We are delighted to once again achieve the B-BBEE Level 1 status,” said Marisa Trisolino, CEO at CMC Networks. “Securing this recognition for the fifth year in a row reflects our dedication to inclusive growth and improving experiences for our customers. It’s not just about compliance. It’s about making a real difference to local communities, businesses and wider society.”
B-BBEE is a South African government policy that promotes a greater participation of black people in the economy through areas such as increased business ownership, management, skills training, supplier development and community involvement. CMC Networks actively invests in skills development and career growth initiatives, with a strong focus on supporting unemployed youth. The company’s Bursaries, Learnerships and globally recognized short courses are designed to build a highly skilled workforce, equipping individuals with the certification and hands-on experience required to accelerate their careers and support customers end-to-end.
“Real progress can only be made by empowering people with the right skills and opportunities,” said Trisolino. “That’s why we prioritize skills development, leadership coaching, mentorship and continuous learning at CMC Networks to provide ongoing opportunities and support. We put customers at the center of everything we do, and our B-BBEE Level 1 status is a vital component of our overall business strategy. Together, we are creating an even stronger team of experts that are ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow for our customers and partners.”
