2.1. COMMITMENT TO OUR PEOPLE
Matsamo Industrial Equipment share equity is held by its Founders in-line with its hands on philosophy. The diversity of the people in the organisation in terms of their cultures, values and beliefs makes the company a truly South African company. Aware that the organization owes its success to the resourcefulness of its staff, we acknowledge that our greatest assets are indeed the people who work together in the company to create value for all stakeholders. For this we will ensure that the value created in the company is shared with the employees and the chosen communities through various Staff and Community Trusts funded by the company.
2.2. COMMITMENT OF OUR COMPANY
Matsamo Industrial Equipment aspires to use the experience and success of its Founders to benefit not only the company and its employees, but also the wider community of the sub-region.We will encourage the organisation to support a culture of entrepreneurship and leadership development in the supply chain and trading sector and amongst a broader base of the South African community. This will enhance the image of the company and improve the general perception of the company which will in turn attract more business support from our clients.
2.3. EMPOWERMENT PHILOSOPHY – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Matsamo Industrial believes in complying with, and promoting all related internationally accepted Codes of Conduct and Practice. The company believes that a broad spectrum of South Africans ought to benefit from empowerment, and that ownership alone does not translate into empowerment. In the words of one of the founders, “It’s incumbent on all of us to bring out the best in people. No person is born a failure or a success – we are all shaped by our environment”. It is for this reason that Matsamo Industrial places a great deal of importance on training and development.
