Footnotes
1.
Production – external sales – The boundaries of this figure only include a product that is destined for sale to Sasol customers, and does not include a product utilised
or sold between the Sasol Group of companies. A decrease in production was noted in FY20 as a result of decreased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. Production – external sales - Secunda Operations - A methodology change is noted for FY21 to avoid double accounting as a result of the Sasol 2.0 restructuring
process.

3. GHG emissions have been calculated and reported in accordance with the GHG Protocol (www.ghgprotocol.org) and the IPCC 2006 Guidelines. In our GHG
measurements, we have included 100% of the emissions for the following JVs: Natref in South Africa and Gas Sourcing and Operations in Mozambique. Data for those
JVs where we do not have a significant influence or operational control is not included. An external assurance provider has once again independently verified our direct
and indirect emissions levels. Our GHG emission intensity (tonnes CO2e per tonne of production – external sales) decreased to 3,69 in 2021 from 3,90 in 2020, due to
an increase in the production – meant for external sale.
4. Two reporting changes relating to Secunda Operations were implemented in 2021. Scope 1: As part of a methodology correction from July 2019, the boiler coal emission
calculations in Secunda have been updated accordingly to include percentage ash content. Scope 2: It recently came to Sasol's attention that Air Liquide is also
reporting the electricity consumption for Train 17. It was therefore decided that Sasol will stop reporting this consumption and make a corresponding correction to the
reported figure going back to the start of operation in January 2018.
5. The GHG emissions for Americas have decreased by 25% from 2020 as a result of the divestment of 50% of the LCCC since December 2020.
6. The sum of GHG emissions from methane, nitrous oxides and carbon dioxide (Scope 1 and 2) expressed as CO2 equivalence emitted and reported as CO2e. Sasol’s GHG
emissions increased in 2021 due to the fact that no Secunda shutdowns took place this year. This anomaly was due to having two shutdowns in 2020, taking advantage
of depressed production during the COVID-19 which allowed additional maintenance to be undertaken at our Secunda Operations facility. In 2021, a maintenance
shutdown was therefore not required. As a result the entire Secunda facility operated for 12 months out of the year, compared to normal operations of a plant on
shutdown within the facility only operating 11 months out of the year, noting 2020 had both East and West plants only operating for only 11 months out of the year.
7. A specific emissions factor relating to the LCCC was made available for emissions calculations. The inclusion of this factor as opposed to the generic Americas
emissions factor has resulted in changes to emissions from 2018 to 2020.
