BE ACCOUNTABLE
Accountable
We each take accountability for our deliverables
We actively manage conflicts of interest
We actively manage actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest. This represents an important ethical
consideration impacting the way we manage Sasol’s business.
What does a conflict of interest look like?
A conflict of interest may occur when a decision of a Sasol employee may be influenced by his or her personal
considerations, such as a relationship or outside interests, or even the interests of friends or family. Directors
and employees of Sasol are required to always act in Sasol’s best interests.
If a Director or an employee of Sasol could be influenced by private interests when doing their job, this must be
declared immediately.
Here are some examples:
Using Sasol information and/or
time to do unauthorised and/or
private work.
Working for or advising a
competitor of Sasol.
Having a personal relationship
such as a family, a commercial/
financial, a romantic/sexual
relationship with another Sasol
employee who can influence
your salary, performance
review or promotion.
Having a personal relationship
with a competitor, supplier,
partner or customer of Sasol
which could impact the
objectivity of your decisions
within your work environment
at Sasol.
We manage conflicts of interest, ensuring that we conduct ourselves objectively. If there is an actual, potential
or perceived conflict of interest, it must be declared immediately.
