IOCO has held Level 1 B-BBEE Contributor status for an eighth consecutive year, with 56.47% Black ownership and 21.64% Black women ownership on the certificate — a stable position rather than a change. The filing quantifies no contract, revenue or cost effect from that status, so it gives no basis for re-rating the business.
