WHAT SUSTAINABILITY MEANS FOR SASOL
Our sustainability approach
Our sustainability approach is holistic, where environmental, social and economic aspects are integrated, balanced and prioritised according to our material matters.
Sasol applies the three pillars of sustainability (People, Planet and Profit) in our strategy and business activities.
Sustainable development is the process whereby the needs of the present generation are met without compromising future generations9 ability to meet their own
needs. We understand that this process requires accountability. Sasol, therefore, adopts an integrated management approach to facilitate effective decision-making
that will ensure long-term continuity/sustainability for the company.
