If a company does not meet at least 40% of the target for any Priority Element, it will get discounted one level down from its final achieved B-BBEE recognition level.

An entity can score over 100 points on the B-BBEE scorecard through bonus points; however, these do not directly change the official recognition level structure.

The Recognition Table shows how a company’s Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) score translates into a B-BBEE recognition level. It indicates how much credit an entity receives for its efforts in promoting economic empowerment within B-BBEE and the property sector.

Derived from the Property Sector Code (PSC) the Complex Structure is a table that guides entities in the sector on how to measure compliance using the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) scorecard.

Property Sector Code (PSC) follows the principle of Priority Elements within the B-BBEEE framework. Priority Elements are specific areas where entities are encouraged to make a concerted effort to achieve a set minimum threshold.
