This nomination is not just for businesses that empower women; it’s for companies that embrace multiculturalism and inspire their employees to create an inclusive workplace. We were proud to stand among these remarkable leaders and organisations driving impactful change. This recognition underscores Mariswe's unwavering commitment to building an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. At Mariswe, we believe that true success lies in empowering every employee and fostering a culture rooted in equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Bravo to all the winners! We remain dedicated to creating opportunities for all and are honoured to be part of the collective effort shaping a more inclusive future in our sector.

"The civil engineering consulting sector has continued to face significant hurdles, including limited project opportunities, delayed payments, and heightened competition. Mariswe has felt the full impact of this environment but has responded by drawing on our governance and management expertise, ensuring we remain engaged and proactive in navigating these times. Despite the challenges, this year has also been exciting. We made significant progress in laying the foundation for a more sustainable company, one that will better serve both our external and internal stakeholders. We made strategic investments that will propel the business forward, and we’ve implemented these initiatives with full commitment, looking forward to corresponding results." Read full message...
