Forward-looking statements disclaimer
Photography disclaimer
Sasol may, in this document, make certain statements that relate to analyses and other information which are
based on forecasts of future results (related to the future rather than past events and facts) and estimates of
amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to our future prospects, expectations,
developments, analysis of potentially applicable regulations (national and regional) and business strategies
specifically related to climate change, sustainability, ESG matters and GHGs. Examples of such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our climate change strategy generally, “Future
Sasol”, our energy efficiency improvement target, our three-pillar emission-reduction framework, our absolute
GHG emission-reduction target, our development of sustainability within our Sasol Energy and Sasol Chemicals
Businesses and our estimated carbon tax liability. Words such as “aim”, “estimate”, “believe”, “anticipate”,
“expect”, “intend”, “seek”, “will”, “plan”, “could”, “may”, “endeavour”, “target”, “forecast”, “committed”,
“project” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the
exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve
inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific and there are risks that the predictions, calculations,
forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. Therefore, you should not
place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. If one or more of these risks materialise, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. You
should understand that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the
plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements specifically related to this Climate Change Report include, but are not limited to, changing
regulatory requirements, technology advances, interpretations and definitions of renewable energy and/or
renewable energy sources, economic and political environments relating to climate change, sustainability,
severe weather, ESG and/or GHGs in the countries in which Sasol operates; potential liability of the Sasol’s
operations under existing or future environmental regulations, including international climate change related
agreements regarding GHGs calculations, reduction methods, and/or offsets and the nascent and continued
development of Sasol’s Climate Change Report, including the metrics and assumptions used by management
in the preparation of this report. These factors and others are discussed more fully under the heading “Risk
Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed on or about 31 August 2022 and in other filings we
make with the SEC. The list of factors discussed therein is not exhaustive; when relying on forward-looking
statements to make investment decisions, you should carefully consider both these factors and other
uncertainties and events. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date on which they are made and
we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.

approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) such as wearing of masks in public place and social
distancing. All initiatives and related photographs done during the pandemic were carried out in line with
country-specific requirements.
