Enterprise & Supplier Development

Our Enterprise and Supplier Development programme is dedicated to empowering small, medium and micro-enterprises and black-owned businesses. We provide comprehensive support through training, mentorship and access to markets, ensuring that our partners and suppliers have the tools and resources needed to succeed.

By fostering a diverse and inclusive supply chain, we contribute to job creation, economic growth and social transformation in South Africa. Our ESD initiatives promote sustainability, innovation and competitiveness among SMME partners, driving positive impact and shared value for all stakeholders.

Where an opportunity requires funding, we structure it — pairing preferential procurement commitments from corporate and mining clients with development finance, and holding the supplier's hand through compliance, delivery and growth.

Mining, industrial and public-sector clients carry ESD obligations. Machipu turns those obligations into functioning businesses with real order books — not compliance certificates.
