It doesn't seem that registration with the Yes4Youth programme is a requirement for compliance. My reading of the information contained on their website , specifically this document tells me that it's another programme that corporates can get involved in. It's not THE YES programme. Its success is dependent on corporates paying a subscription and then contributing a percentage of NPAT to the programme. I would imagine that that NPAT contribution is used for enterprise and supplier development.
I have my reservations about this. It just doesn't seem to have the will or desire to succeed. We do however have a programme that we have launched. The only thing we need to finalise is how the tax incentives are going to work. In the absence of tax incentives I can't see the YES taking off at all. We are all jaded now – I like what Cyril's doing with corruption but he needs to demonstrate a little more commitment to this.
I retract my statement in my last YES post (the definitive YES outline I must stress). You don't need to register on the Yes4Youth website to get started. Talk to us first.
