INTERNATIONAL: South Africa

 

As the fastest emerging economy in Africa, with a large number of small and family-run businesses, the South African market was identified as needing international recognition for its business methods, and particularly for its care of the environment.

As a result, IMSM's first South African office was set up in 1996, in Cape Town, supported by a South African sales team and fully qualified (IRCA) assessors.
