SICCI

The Business Opportunities in the South African Automotive Industry

South Africa has emerged as the economic powerhouse of Africa, leading the continent in industrial output and mineral production besides generating a large proportion of Africa’s electricity.

The establishment of the India-South Africa Joint Ministerial Commission and the India-South Africa CEOs forum were some of the measures to ensure that the bilateral economic relations were enhanced, and the trade between the two were boosted further. The India- South African Customs Union Preferential Trade Agreement was one such measure that would enhance economic ties by reducing tariffs on severalkey products.

The India South Africa trade now has the potential to surge from the current level of US $14 billion
to touch US$ 25 billion in the next three years.

Therefore, the Southern India Chamber of Commerce & Industry is organizing an Interactive Meeting

The Business Opportunities in the South African Automotive Industry

at 4.30 pm on Tuesday, the 1st July
2014 at the M.A.Chidambaram conference hall of the SICCI premises.
Mr. Sake van der Wal, Investment Promotion, Department of Trade & Industry,

Overview


CSR is linked to business sustainability and is the sustainable development of the communities we live and work, including the environment in which we operate. A time has come that we are confident to make a difference with effective CSR practice in place. On introduction of the recent company’s bill 2013, business houses tend to think in the lines of what could motivate them to devote their employee’s time and resources in sustaining effective CSR initiatives. Challenges faced while implementing the new company’s bill will include or many not be limited to CSR inclusion, implementation and reporting. We also believe that there is a need for adequate knowledge and skills for thoughts and implementation effective CSR practices.
