INTEGRITY AND
RESPECT
We respect human rights
We recognise that respect for human dignity and the rights of all people, as explained in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, is critical for the sustainability of our business.
We respect, uphold and protect human rights, and conduct business based on fair, lawful, efficient and
transparent practices. Our approach is premised on compliance with applicable legal requirements including on
child labour and the abolishment of modern slavery and human trafficking in all the jurisdictions in which we
conduct our business. Our compliance programme in all the jurisdictions in which we operate is a key enabler in
this regard. We have a Business and Human Rights Framework to ensure that Sasol’s human rights performance
is optimally aligned with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in the near-term.
Our performance is disclosed in a transparent manner in our suite of annual reports .
