As the fastest emerging economy in Africa, with a large number
of small and family-run businesses, the South African market
was identified as needing international recognition for its
business methods, and particularly for its care of the environment.
As a result, IMSM's first South African office was set up
in 1996, in Cape Town, supported by a South African sales
team and fully qualified (IRCA) assessors.
