AO Group achieves Level 1 B-BBEE contributor status

AO Group achieved Level 1 B-BBEE Contributor status in February 2025, marking an important milestone in the continued development of the Group and our South African operations.

For AO, transformation is about more than achieving a scorecard outcome.

It reflects our commitment to building a business that creates opportunity, develops skills, supports participation in the technology economy and contributes meaningfully to the markets in which we operate.

Technology continues to play an increasingly important role across every sector of the economy, from financial services and telecommunications to retail, logistics, infrastructure and government.

That growth creates a corresponding responsibility to broaden access to the skills, experience and opportunities being created by the digital economy.

"Transformation should create sustainable capability, opportunity and participation in the digital economy."

AO Group's Level 1 B-BBEE Contributor status strengthens our ability to support customers that place transformation, supplier diversity and responsible procurement at the centre of their own strategies.

It also complements our broader investment in technology talent through AO Connect and our wider Group activities across software engineering, digital transformation, infrastructure and business technology.

As AO continues to grow, we remain focused on creating sustainable capability rather than treating transformation as a once-off compliance exercise.

That means continuing to develop talent, expand opportunity and build a business capable of delivering complex technology outcomes while contributing positively to the economies and communities in which we operate.

Achieving Level 1 Contributor status represents an important milestone on that journey.

It is also a responsibility to continue progressing.
