In addition to the Weighting points assigned to each Element, the Codes of Good Practice have attached Weighting points to different indicators within each Element. The main reasons for these indicator Weightings are to make the B-BBEE scorecards for different enterprises and sectors easier to understand and interpret as well as allow a comparison of progress across sectors and industries while working from an equitable baseline.

Based on the reasons set out in paragraph 11.3, the CA sector has adjusted the recommended indicator Weightings of the Codes to take account of the unique conditions of the CA sector and the advantages such an adjustment would have in the long run.
