Value creation
“At Bidvest, we have never applied a uniform template to our business. No newcomer is required to unlearn what they
know and start from a zero base. Bidvest provides new resources, wider infrastructure and access to a broader
customer base. Newcomers are encouraged to make the most of these opportunities and seek out prospects for
renewed growth, and the sooner the better.”
Brian Joffe, Group chief executive
As an employer of 143 828 people,
Bidvest’s annual integrated report
contains information on a number of
people-based sustainability indicators.
The resources used within the Bidvest
environment centre around our
human capital; our people with their
competencies, experience and expertise.
Our strategic focus is one of growth
and returns, through our people
and businesses within their specific
industries and in their geographies.
