Sasol and UNGC Day
In July 2023, the Global Compact Network South
Africa (GCNSA) led by the Executive Director,
Dr Achieng Ojwang joined Sasol at our headquarters
in Johannesburg for a collaboration session with the
Group Executive Committee (GEC) and members of
the Business team. The sessions focused on thought
leadership and enablement to embed the shared
values and principles of the UNGC. The GCNSA
provided insights on Global Compact Gap Analysis
Tools, the availability of Think Labs, Coalition
opportunities and the value of the Accelerator
programmes which Sasol is currently participating in.
Our GEC reaffirmed our commitment to the Ten
Principles as well as promoting gender parity and
providing equal opportunity to all. The teams also
accompanied artist, Patrick Rulore, winner of Sasol

FEATURE STORY
ABLC ROUNDTABLE
DISCUSSIONS AND RELEASE OF
THE CLIMATE STATEMENT
Our CEO together with experts
supporting sustainability at Sasol
participated in the Johannesburg
regional roundtable held in
August 2022. The contributions were
considered as part of the ABLC Climate
statement that was accepted at COP27
in Egypt. Mindful that the African
continent has special circumstances
that require a common but
differentiated approach, Sasol supports
the commitments in the climate
statement by upholding the Ten
Principles, improving adaptive capacity
and upholding the guiding principles
of a just transition. We are continuously
pursuing viable opportunities to
increase the share of renewables in our
energy mix. Our continuous efforts to
form partnerships globally enable us to
exchange knowledge with our partners,
further facilitating the achievement
of our decarbonisation targets.
