Green Riders is a company which is disrupting and revolutionising the last-mile delivery space for fast food and small goods in South Africa. They have introduced cargo e-bicycles (e-bikes) to be used for the deliveries and these e-bikes are environmentally friendly (green), cost-effective (much cheaper to operate than ICE vehicles) and far better received by South African youths.
Our enablers provide access to market
We enable corporates to procure services from micro-suppliers via successful digital platforms – or what we call enablers.
SDI Trust ensures the micro-suppliers have the necessary finance and guidance to provide quality products and services, and have appropriate company documentation (for example tax status, B-BBEE documentation).
Participants are ranked and vetted according to their experience and incentivised to implement the highest standards.
We work with corporates to get the platforms onboarded as fully B-BBEE compliant enterprise and development suppliers.
