Submission on the Companies Amendment Bill 2021

The Institute for Economic Justice submits that the Companies Amendment Bill 2021 introduces essential legal requirements for wage gap disclosure, binding votes on executive pay, and company ownership transparency to combat South Africa's severe socio-economic inequality.

• Civil society organisations support the Companies Amendment Bill 2021 for introducing legal requirements regarding transparency in company ownership, binding votes on executive pay, and the disclosure of wage gaps.
• Inequality in South Africa is described as widespread, multidimensional, and the country's most significant socio-economic challenge, with minimal progress made since the end of apartheid.
• The submission criticizes sectors of the business community that oppose wage gap transparency, noting that South Africa is the most unequal society in the world.
