Reach ESG Goals

Throwing Money at Compliance
Without Seeing Results?

Most businesses see B-BBEE compliance and sustainability as separate challenges—one driven by regulation, the other by ethics.
● B-BBEE Managers struggle to tick all the right boxes
efficiently.
● Sustainability Managers fight to reduce landfill waste with no budget to act.

Real Transformation (without the burden) Starts Here.

Save time and eliminate complexity by handling all your B-BBEE and ESG compliance needs with one trusted partner.

Your investment goes further - transforming textile waste into valuable products that directly achieve your compliance goals.

Achieve measurable B-BBEE points and ESG goals by empowering communities to
produce sustainable products from your textile waste.

Compliance Should Create Change,
Not Just Check Boxes.

We understand compliance can feel frustrating—like you're ticking boxes without seeing real results. You're not alone; most businesses struggle with disconnected, costly solutions that don’t deliver meaningful impact.

At Knoop Academy, we believe compliance shouldn’t be a burden—it should be an opportunity for transformation.

B-BBEE
That Works

We tick every box any textile business needs to achieve long-term impact. Knoop Academy is evidence that B-BBEE can work.

Beyond
Compliance

We utilise textile waste to produce
high-quality products and give graduates
market access to generate sustainable
income.

Lasting
Transformation

Most B-BBEE programs don’t result in
long-term change. We turn your spend into
a sustainable impact strategy instead of a
bottomless money pit.

“Knoop Academy has successfully trained over 100 SETA-accredited learners, repurposed hundreds of kilograms of textile waste, and empowered hundreds of  graduates to generate sustainable incomes.”
