1.
GHG emissions have been calculated and reported in accordance with the GHG Protocol
(www.ghgprotocol.org) and the IPCC 2006 Guidelines, data breakdown provided on page 45.
2. See text in 'Reducing Emissions' below for an explanation of our emissions increase.

Set a new 2030 GHG emission target for our
International Chemicals Business to reduce scope
1 and 2 emissions by 30% and committed to Net
Zero ambition by 2050 for these emissions.

6. See text in 'Reducing Emissions' below for an explanation of our improvements.
7. Numbers have been restated due to re-baselining related to asset changes (FT
Wax Expansion Project and Lake Charles). Production volumes have been
normalised to accommodate for these changes.
MEASURING PROGRESS AGAINST OUR THREE-PILLAR EMISSION-REDUCTION FRAMEWORK
REDUCE EMISSIONS
TRANSFORM OPERATIONS
Progressing development opportunities
and implementing short and medium term
reductions.
• H
igher GHG emissions due to more operating
days, higher production and no shutdowns
(see page 5).
• Reported emission reductions are 1% below
the 2017 baseline.
• Increased overall energy efficiency
improvements to 22,8% for Group operations,
moving closer to our Energy Productivity
(EP100) target of a 30% improvement by
2030. For 2021, the improvement was 8,5%
because of an increase in net production
volumes and using energy more efficiently.

SHIFT THE PORTFOLIO
Continue
to evaluate integration of cleaner
alternative feedstocks.
Driving value creation with low- and lowercarbon businesses.
• I ssued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to
procure 600 MW of renewable energy by 2025
in partnership with Air Liquide.
• Evaluated the feasibility of using Liquefied
Natural Gas (LNG) before 2030.
• Developed plans to convert Secunda Operations
to more gas, moving away from coal.
• Advanced four proof-of-concept green
hydrogen projects for decarbonisation (see
page 13).
• Committed to no investments in new coal
mines.
• I dentified opportunities to reduce absolute
scope 3 emissions.
• Started setting up a FT sustainable
solutions business.
• Started exploring demonstration of PtX
assets with partners.
• Formed a partnership with Linde PLC,
ENERTRAG AG and Navitas Holdings (Pty)
Ltd (LEN) Consortium to demonstrate
production of Sustainable Aviation
Fuel (SAF) in Secunda.
• Formed a private-private partnership
to explore a green hydrogen mobility
ecosystem.
