Initiatives in these areas are fundamental to the future growth and success of our business.

proudly south african
We are a proudly South African company that is invested in the future of our country. In 2019, we joined Proudly South African, a well-known organisation that aims to influence local procurement in both the public and private sectors, increase local production and influence consumers to buy locally to stimulate job creation. Members of Proudly South African share a commitment to an uplifting ethos that promotes social and economic change and progress. We make a meaningful contribution to building South Africa's economy, alleviating unemployment, and retaining existing employment opportunities.
B-BBEE Certification
We are proud of our South African heritage and are the only versatile wood-based panel manufacturer in South Africa to achieve level 3 as a broad-based black economic empowerment contribution.
PG Bison Cares
Our success is closely tied to the sustainable growth and requirements for the development needs of the communities where we operate. Socio-Economic Development (SED) is an integral part of our culture. We have invested, and will continue to invest, in programmes that empower our communities through their development.
Many of our corporate social investment initiatives focus on the youth of South Africa, such as the PG Bison 1.618 STUDENT DESIGN Competition for students in the interior design and architectural industries.
We create thousands of direct and indirect opportunities in and around our operations. By supporting the development of small enterprises, they grow to become a vital part of our supply chain and thriving businesses in their own right.
