Committed to delivering
sustainable value
Future Sasol embodies our intent to
create sustainable value for all our
stakeholders. This we do through the
delivery of our strategy that takes into
account the six capitals, the views of our
stakeholders, the risks and opportunities
that are presented by our operating
environment, together with the changes
in our material matters.
Our sustainability focus areas shape how
we manage our business and execute our
strategy to deliver sustainable growth
and accelerated shareholder returns.
In this report, we share detail on Sasol’s
sustainability performance in terms
of People and Planet within our four
sustainability focus areas and specifically
in relation to three of the six capitals.

Material matters
LABOUR
Our material matters have the potential to help or hinder the execution of our strategy thereby impacting
our ability to create value in the short, medium and long term. They are derived from considering inputs
from our stakeholders and our enterprise risk management process. The manner in which we manage
our material matters directly influences our ability to become sustainable which is underpinned by
the People, Planet and Profit approach. Content that addresses the information requirements of our
stakeholders that are linked to our material matters are identified throughout this report by the relevant
material matters icon. For more detail on our approach to determining our material matters refer to IR .
