Who is the BIG IMPACT GROUP ?
Big Impact Group (BIG) is a specialist consultancy dedicated to creating a sustainably transparent, conscious, and intentional corporate South Africa and beyond. With experts from both the B-BBEE and sustainability fields, we have innovatively formulated our own B-Impact Grouping™, which maps B-BBEE with ESG to encompass one BIG sustainability strategy. We have carefully identified 14 sustainability elements.
Affordable, Responsible Housing
Biodiversity
Carbon Footprint
Circular Economy
Clean Energy
Diversity
Education
Ethics & Compliance
Financial Inclusion
Healthcare
Quality Employment
Sustainable Agriculture & Food
Sustainable Business Development
Water Use
These elements comprehensively cover all areas of sustainability and are mapped to your B-BBEE Strategy, GRI Standards, UN Sustainable Development Goals and the ISSB Standards. We have formulated our B-Impact Grouping™ which enables us to cover 65% of your sustainability elements via our unique data point mappings to your current B-BBEE elements. Sustainability measures your impact as well as the impact of your business on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters. The aim is to meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the needs of the future generations.
BIG Impact Group reduces the cost of compliance by utilising our B-Impact Analysis to integrate your ESG and B-BBEE strategy. We have put the B into ESG. Just like B-BBEE, sustainability will soon become your license to trade. More than this, it is the future of our planet and its very existence. We are a 51% Black-owned, Level 2, EME, Designated Group Supplier and all our sustainability consultants are GRI accredited.

The BIG Story
The LLC way is based on a track record of sustainable business development. In the beginning (2003) a new and energetic legal firm was established that grew into a market leader in its field of law. Lanham-Love Attorneys (now LLGV) has grown tremendously under the able leadership of Bobby Lanham-Love. They embarked on their first sustainable business development when Lanham-Love Consulting “LLC”(2013) approached them to enter the B-BBEE consulting world from a legal perspective. LLC was born out of the legal stable and has grown into a sustainable company offering integrated solutions to its impressive client base.
In the spirit of sustainable business development, LLC identified a gap in the market for building leaders and skilling up “leaders of self”, “leaders of others” and “leaders of leaders”. To this end, The LLC Academy “LLCA” was born out of the LLC stable in 2016. LLC and LLCA have continued to grow under the leadership of Angie Lanham-Love and Eileen Thornhill. At this point, the two companies have continued with their sustainability goals by having:
- 95+ active clients, some of which have been with us for more than 10 years.
- implemented 130+ ownership interventions.
- trained and developed 5000+ clients’ staff
- trained and mentored 150+ Early Childhood Development teachers
- supported multiple schools in under privileged communities via our Support-A-School outreach programme
- regularly raised B-BBEE compliance levels and at the same time reduce the cost of compliance
- impacted 230+ individuals this year via our creation and continued support of the Strenue Foundation
The Legal Framework
Our BIG metrics have been formulated from the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We report in line with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These standards are the most prolific universally adopted sustainability frameworks in the sustainability world. On a local scale, our BIG reporting elements map back to the B-BBEE codes and the South African Green Taxonomy.
