ATIO is a certified Level 2 Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) contributor which on its own entitles ATIO’s customers to claim 125% recognition of their procurement spend with ATIO for their own B-BBEE certification (under “Preferential Procurement”). ATIO has been recognized as a Value-Adding Supplier (VAS) which entitles our customers to an additional 156.25% recognition of their procurement spend. In addition, as ATIO is classed as a black owned company, a further 156.25% of our customers spend will be recognized as Preferential procurement. What this ultimately means for ATIO’s customers, is that because they are making use of us, our customers can claim a total of 312.5% recognition of their procurement spend with ATIO for their own B-BBEE certification.
