Payments made under duress (extortion)
The safety of its employees is Sasol’s primary concern and we understand that there may be circumstances
in which we have no alternative but to make an inappropriate payment in order to protect ourselves or others
against loss of life, limb or liberty. Any request for such payment or actual payment made under duress,
should be disclosed on the Sasol Declaration System, or the Business or Corporate Centre gift register, and to
the relevant Sasol Legal Advisor as soon as possible, including sufficient details regarding the circumstances
surrounding the payment and providing evidence why you felt your life or liberty was threatened.
We prevent money laundering
Money laundering happens when money or other assets that were gained through illegal or criminal
means, such as drug trafficking, or weapons sales, are hidden or mixed with legal funds or assets
to conceal the origins of those illegal funds/assets and make it look like it came from a legitimate
business activity. Money laundering also involves the use of legal funds to support crime or terrorism.
We never become involved in any type of money laundering and we ensure that we know who we
are doing business with at all times, by conducting due diligences and continuous screening on our
customers, suppliers and partners.
If we are concerned about the legality of any funds or assets, we raise our concerns with our line
managers, Group Forensics or the EthicsLine.

We compete fairly and avoid competition law violations
We compete fairly and comply with competition law regulatory requirements.
Competition law regulatory requirements promote or seek to maintain market competition by regulating anticompetitive conduct by companies.
We compete on the merits of our products and services, on the prices we charge and on the customer loyalty
we earn, but never in an anti-competitive way. We treat our customers fairly and we do not share competitively
sensitive information with competitors.
