Corporate Patrons

Acknowledgements

From our humble beginnings in 2004, CGF Research Institute (Pty) Ltd has steadily grown to become a recognized brand amongst many corporate businesses, specializing in producing quality, peer reviewed desktop research in topics that cover corporate governance, risk and compliance. Clearly, our successes cannot singularly be attributed to the company alone, neither its individuals. CGF’s success has been assisted through the growth of its customer base, as well as the steadfast support of its Corporate Patrons.

Our Corporate Patrons are committed to support and encourage the corporate governance aims and initiatives being promoted by CGF, specifically toward sustainable and sound business practices across all South African businesses - large and small. They support CGF’s core business philosophy which is built upon trust, respect and solid business relationships. Our Corporate Patrons themselves are also committed to sound business practices of governance and business ethics within their own organisations.

CGF is delighted to have DQS South Africa (Pty) Ltd on board as another one of its Corporate Patrons, and equally pleasing is the fact that DQS South Africa is part of a much wider fraternity, with 60 offices in over 40 countries and truly a global player. DQS South Africa fulfils many functions, however their main competencies are found within their ability to assist companies of all sizes to verify their adherence to international and accredited standards, particularly around the SHEQ disciplines. DQS South Africa also specialises in ISO (International Standards Organisation) and Occupational Safety, Health and Environmental training and assurance. The company also provides software -- DQS Auditor -- in response to the need for an interface to a centralised database containing all audit results conducted by auditors within a specific organisation. Through this software, auditors are able to ascertain the validity and reliability of information, compliance with legislation within a specific operational framework, and/or adherence to generally accepted standards set by governing bodies regulating businesses. DQS South Africa is certainly no stranger to CGF, and our relationship goes back a number of years.
