English | Code Of Conduct - Book - Page 30
We positively engage our stakeholders
We respect the rights, customs and cultures of the fenceline communities and indigenous people we work or
interact with.
That means we:
minimise negative effects on
local communities as informed
by due diligences or impact
assessments
acknowledge land rights and
avoid involuntary resettlements
through our project designs
adopt flexible ways of doing
business in line with the Code
balance cultural heritage,
community expectations and
economic development
contribute to the stability and
prosperity of communities
through various social initiatives
If we have to resettle a community, we follow internationally accepted performance standards of the
International Finance Corporation, the United Nations and voluntary guidelines on land tenure rights and
any other laws that apply to the country we are working in.
We work openly with governments and assess political contributions and activities
When working with governments, we act in line with the Code, knowing that our behaviour can affect our
reputation and global operations. Some countries have strict limitation on the gifts, training, accommodation
and travel expenses that can be accepted by their public officials and Sasol takes these into account.
Gifts other than modest gifts to public officials can only be offered in exceptional circumstances and must
be approved by the Sasol Centre of Expertise for Governance and a Vice President or in instances where the
gift is offered by a Vice President or Senior Vice President, it must be approved by the Centre of Expertise for
Governance and an Executive Vice President.
