Empowerment status

GuruHut is a BBB rated company

GuruHut’s primary focus as a small company has been to find and retain good people, irrespective of their background. By doing just that, when we first embraced the scorecard process last year, we had already achieved a rating of B. Using the same hiring philosophies ahead of our second rating, we’re delighted to have achieved a BBB.

This means that companies who spend their money with us are able to count 80% of that expenditure in the Procurement category on their own scorecards.

Most companies focus on equity levels as the core of their empowerment activities, but often neglect to acknowledge other parts of the scorecard. At GuruHut we are focused on achieving consistently high scores across all categories, embracing the broadest possible view of empowerment.

Beyond ownership of the company, we believe that previously disadvantaged staff within the organisation should also have the power to influence the day-to-day running of the business. Because it is difficult to influence the activities of some of our suppliers for a score in the Procurement category, we have increased our focus on socio-economic development, contributing to various charitable organisations every year. We are constantly exploring new ways to actively play the role of good citizens.
