goods and services sold.
12
Activity data
Complete combustion of all products sold to our customers to generate energy in their operations.
Emission factors
Derived from internal analysis and also sourced from DEFRA and the GaBi database.
Methodology and assumptions
The direct use phase emissions of sold products over their expected lifetime was considered from combustion of natural gas, diesel, petrol and exported coal.
Value-chain engagement
Not applicable
Changes to data 2023
Decrease in emissions largely due to production variances and lower coal sales.
END OF LIFE TREATMENT OF
SOLD PRODUCTS
Emissions from waste
disposal and treatment of
products sold at the end of
their life.
13
Sasol’s scope 3 emission categories
Not yet calculated 3 baseline being developed for future reporting.
DOWNSTREAM LEASED
ASSETS

of owned assets but leased to
other entities and not

Methodology and assumptions
Total area and annual energy consumption per square meter of franchises were assessed.
Value-chain engagement
Monthly engagements with the Sasol Franchisee Regional Development Network.
Changes to data 2023
Slight decrease in emissions due to lower South African grid emission factor.
Activity data
Scope 1 and 2 emissions of Sasol9s equity-accounted JVs and associated companies obtained from the respective companies.

Engagements with respective JV companies.
Changes to data 2023
Slight increase due to increased contributions from our investments. Emissions are expected to decrease in future reporting years due to renewable energy
installations at some of our investments.
Most material categories are those with emissions of more than 1 Mt CO2e
