"When businesses and communities work together, we build a stronger future."
Applying for a Royal Customary Charter any organization—including businesses, professional associations, and charities—needs to meet specific requirements that demonstrate their dedication to responsible business practices and community values. Requirements include:
Proper Registration and Compliance: Organizations must be registered with all necessary regulatory bodies such as the CIPC and SAR`s and adhere to relevant national laws including labor, tax, and health and safety regulations.
Financial Health: Organizations must have up-to-date tax clearance certificates, have filed annual returns with the CIPC, and comply with other financial obligations like UIF and SDL payments.
Community and Cultural Engagement: Demonstrating a commitment to supporting traditional cultural communities and values, recognising the role of South Africa’s royal and traditional leaders, and investing in rural community initiatives are crucial.
Ethical Practices: Upholding high standards in areas such as worker protection, anti-slavery policies, and corporate social investment is essential.
Continuous Compliance: Maintaining these standards is a continuous commitment; failure to do so may result in the revocation of the Charter.
