We do the heavy lifting that makes supplier development actually work.
Meko is an ESD facilitation partner. We prepare suppliers to meet corporate requirements and match them into the supply chain — so corporates hit their B-BBEE targets with confidence, and suppliers win real, lasting work.
From unready to onboarded.
Meko sits between the corporate and the supplier, doing the preparation work neither has time for.
One partner, two outcomes.
ESD fails when corporates don't have time to develop suppliers and suppliers don't know what's required of them. Meko closes that gap from both sides.
Meet your targets without the admin burden.
We take supplier development off your desk. Meko prepares your beneficiaries to the standard your scorecard and supply chain demand — and gives you audit-ready evidence at the end.

The preparation, handled.
Diagnose
We assess the supplier against the corporate's real requirements and map every gap — compliance, financial, operational, capability.
Prepare
We do the heavy lifting: documents, B-BBEE affidavits, systems, pricing, and the capability-building that closes each gap.
Match
We place the ready supplier into a supply chain where they fit — a genuine commercial relationship, not a once-off transaction.
Report
The corporate receives clean, verification-ready evidence of the development — and the supplier keeps growing.
ESD only delivers when someone does the work in the middle.
Enterprise & Supplier Development is one of the most heavily weighted, highest-stakes parts of the B-BBEE scorecard. It's also where good intentions most often fail — because nobody owns the preparation between the corporate and the supplier. That's the gap Meko exists to fill.
A priority element
ED, SD and Preferential Procurement carry a sub-minimum. Miss 40% of it and a corporate drops a full B-BBEE level — regardless of the rest of their scorecard.
Of profit, at stake
Corporates are expected to direct a meaningful share of net profit after tax into supplier development. That spend only counts if the development is real and evidenced.
Suppliers who need a bridge
Beneficiaries are black-owned EMEs and QSEs — capable businesses that often lack only the preparation and access to win corporate work. Meko is that bridge.
Let's make your supplier development real.
Whether you're a corporate with targets to meet or a supplier ready to grow, the conversation starts the same way.
