SASOL CODE OF CONDUCT (THE CODE)
Dishonesty includes:
•
Bribery and corruption – this includes offering, giving, promising, requesting, agreeing to receive or
accepting a benefit from anyone with the intention of receiving an unfair advantage, even via a third-party.
We will not use our positions within Sasol to obtain undue benefits from external parties, for example
employment for family members.
•
Money laundering – trying to hide an unlawful source and direction (including supporting terrorism) of
monies, as well as withholding an interest in such activities.
•
Accepting or offering facilitation payments – these include payments meant to speed up routine things like
releasing goods from customs.
•
Intentionally lying or distorting the truth – this includes not doing the things we should, such as allowing a
false perception to continue while knowing the truth.
.
We never ask for, offer, give or accept bribes, directly or indirectly. We will never pay facilitation payments.
This applies to our employees, partners, suppliers, customers, regulators and shareholders. If you notice
any suspicious activity, report it to Sasol Forensic Services or the Sasol EthicsLine.
Payments made under duress (extortion)
Safety is Sasol’s primary concern and we understand that there may be circumstances in which we have no
alternative but to make an inappropriate payment in order to protect ourselves or others against loss of life,
limb or liberty. Any request for such payment or actual payment made under duress, should be disclosed on the
Sasol Declaration System, or the Operating Model Entity’s (OME’s) gift register, and to the OME’s legal advisor
as soon as possible, including sufficient details regarding the circumstances surrounding the payment and
providing evidence why you felt your life or liberty was threatened.
We ensure ongoing compliance with applicable regulatory requirements
We identify key legal and regulatory risks in jurisdictions in which OMEs conduct business, following a risk-based
approach.
We compete fairly and avoid competition law violations
We compete fairly and comply with competition law regulatory requirements.
Competition law regulatory requirements promote or seek to maintain market competition by regulating anticompetitive conduct by companies.
We compete on the merits of our products and services, the prices we charge and the customer loyalty we earn,
but never in an anti-competitive way. We treat our customers fairly and we do not share competitively sensitive
information with competitors.
