GROWING SHARED VALUE
Centre for Shared Value Management (CSVM)
We see ourselves as a force for good and our shared value partnership approach
is core to contributing to SDG 17 and to the role we play in our communities.
WHAT WE ARE DOING
OUR APPROACH
Shared value is an enabler of our Purpose and strategy and brings to life “Innovating for a
Better World”. In this context, the CSVM was established as an execution vehicle to realise our
shared value aspirations.
The purpose of the CSVM is to facilitate the creation of socio-economic value for the Sasol
ecosystem by leveraging partnering opportunities and collaborating with stakeholders while
creating business value for Sasol. We seek to attract and galvanise partners to leverage funding

The CSVM coordinates various shared value
programmes including our Just Transition impact
initiatives relating to the increased use of gas,
renewables and carbon offsets, together with those
relating to green hydrogen as we transition to a
lower-carbon world.
The existing Sasol social impact investments and
plans and programmes will be reviewed, adjusted
and re-aligned, and managed to maximise economies
of scale and create greater impact than the
individual programmes.
The Ntsika entrepreneur development programme
was launched in 2021 to support those South Africabased employees impacted by Sasol 2.0.
This programme has since been
concluded in 2022 with the rollout
of the remaining four phases of the
programme resulting in 25 business
start-ups being created which in turn
has led to the creation of 60 jobs
(permanent and temporary).
These start-ups span 12 different
industry sectors, with professional
services featuring strongest, followed
by the education and agriculture sectors.
With the changing energy landscape in South Africa,
Ntsika is reflective of Sasol’s commitment to
achieving a just transition that enables inclusive
growth and job creation with the intention that
no one is left behind.
Fostering a Just Transition requires long-term,
ambitious interventions with collaboration at
multiple levels. In this regard, the CSVM has
established a partnership with The Impact Catalyst
as it is a transparent, efficient and effective
platform that will enable collaboration on Just
Transition initiatives particularly in Mpumalanga.
The vision and purpose of the Impact Catalyst is
to establish inclusive, collaborative, cross-sectoral
platforms, initiatives and partnerships to achieve
systemic socio-economic impact through public
private partnerships. The initiatives are designed
to leverage collaboration for collective impact,
be cross sectoral and selected for impact beyond
the scale of individual participants.
Sasol continues to work with business
associations such as the Energy Council,
BUSA and NBI to coordinate efforts and devise
workable implementation plans for the Just
Transition in addition to leveraging funding for
Just Transition programmes.
