We respect human rights
We recognise that respect for human dignity and the rights of all people, as explained in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, is critical for the sustainability of our business.
We respect and uphold human rights in accordance with the Sasol Human Rights Policy. Our approach to human
rights is premised on compliance with applicable legal requirements in all the jurisdictions in which we conduct
our business, and we seek to align our practices with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
and UN Global Compact.
We engage in fair labour practices consistent with local legal requirements and the International Labour
Organisation Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
We:
Respect diversity, ensure equal opportunities and eradicate discriminatory practices;
Prohibit all forms of modern slavery including forced or compulsory labour and child labour;
Uphold freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining and seek to maintain
constructive relationships with trade unions and works councils where we operate;
Provide safe, secure and healthy working environments that do not infringe on human rights; and
Provide conditions of employment and remuneration that are fair and competitive.
We respect the rights of our other stakeholders including local and fenceline communities, and indigenous
people by complying with law, observing internationally accepted standards including the IFC Performance
Standards, and by aligning our practices to voluntary codes such as the Voluntary Principles on Security and
Human Rights.
We seek stakeholder feedback to enhance our performance on human rights. We expect our joint venture and
business partners and suppliers, to uphold our Human Rights Policy and encourage them to implement similar
policies.
