SASOL CODE OF CONDUCT (THE CODE)
Practically, this means:
•
being constructive, open and cooperative;
•
never offering benefits to public officials, where such benefits could be perceived to influence decisions
or behaviour;
•
avoiding party politics in any country; and
•
refraining from accepting a position of leadership in any political party.
A payment to a political figure or party can be interpreted as asking for future favours or interfering in a
democratic process and Sasol will therefore not make any payments to political parties or political party
officials.
If we make donations or get involved in political activities, we do it as private citizens and make it clear
that we do not represent Sasol in doing so.
