TOWARDS OUR CULTURE
Message from Fleetwood Grobler
Fleetwood Grobler
President and Chief Executive Officer
At Sasol, we are connected by our Company values and related behaviours. This defines who we are and helps us
establish and maintain trusted business relationships across our organisation: on projects, in operations, retail
forecourts, distribution warehouses, and our offices globally.
The word ‘behaviour’ is key. We have deliberately shifted away from a Code of Ethics to a Code of Conduct because
conduct is about how we act in various of situations and is integral to our values and culture.
Through our actions, we uphold Sasol’s reputation and ensure our long-term success. Respect for human dignity
and rights, in particular, are critical for the sustainability of our business. It is how we interact with and represent
Sasol to our colleagues, customers, shareholders, suppliers, partners, regulators, governments and communities.
We help shape their impression of us, as individuals, and create a positive perception of our Company.
Before we ask, ‘how should we behave?’ we should ask ‘what do we value?’, because our actions are always
consequences of what is most important to us. For example:
•
•
•
•
If we value our safety, health and environment, we’ll take care of ourselves and each other at work and behave
in a way that respects our natural resources.
If we value our people, we’ll support their growth and development, show respect and promote collective
diversity.
If we act with respect and integrity and ensure legal compliance, we’ll have the courage to walk the talk and
speak up when we see an injustice.
If we value ownership, accountability and delivering what we promise, we’ll take responsibility for our own
performance and the performance of our teams.
Our seven values, supported by various Company policies, underpin our Code of Conduct and define our
organisation. When we act according to these values, we ensure the sustainability of a business we can all be
proud of – one that is successful, ethical, contributes to economies and society, and where integrity and respect
are non-negotiable.
Let’s all drive towards our culture together – the right way.
Best regards
Fleetwood Grobler
President and Chief Executive Officer
