Sustainability Summary
- This is an unclaimed profile. YES has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
YES, the Youth Employment Service, is a private sector-led initiative focused on youth employment and social impact in South Africa. Its ESG-related activity centres on creating work experiences for young people, supporting inclusive economic development, and linking corporate social responsibility to measurable community outcomes. The programme is described as a way for businesses to integrate youth jobs into ESG and SDG strategies, with a particular emphasis on SDG 8. YES also works through host partners and awards programmes that recognise organisations driving social impact through job creation and sustainable business practices.
