Business travel
Miles and kilometres per means of transportation, travelled by Sasol employees, collected by third-party travel agencies.
Derived from the United States EPA’s Climate Leaders programme and DEFRA.
Emissions from the
transportation of employees
for business-related activities
in vehicles owned or operated
by third-parties.
Methodology and assumptions
Miles and kilometres travelled together with appropriate conversion and emission factors were used per mode of transport for business-related activities.
Value-chain engagement
Further engagements with the appointed consultant to improve accuracy.
Changes to data 2022
Increased emissions due to lifting of COVID-19 measures and increased business travel for face-to-face meetings.
Employee commuting
Activity data
Number of employees per region delineated by employee type obtained from internal business data management systems.
Emission factors
Obtained from EPA’s Emission Factor database for North America, Europe and South Africa.
Methodology and assumptions
Distance travelled together with the appropriate emission and conversion factors were used.
Value-chain engagement
Not undertaken.
Changes to data 2022
Increase in emissions due to increased employee head count.
Activity data
Leased office and storage space obtained from internal business data management systems.
Emission factors
Emission factors obtained from the GaBi database and IEA.
Methodology and assumptions
Leased space and the annual energy consumption per square meter were used.
Value-chain engagement
Not undertaken.
Changes to data 2022
Decrease in emissions due to updated grid emission factors for global assets and lower electricity consumption for leased assets.
Activity data
Quantities and types of products sold, as well as their means of transportation obtained from internal business data management systems.
Emission factors
Derived from various sources, including internal calculations.
Methodology and assumptions
Distance travelled together with appropriate emission and conversion factors and quantity of product carried were used per mode of transport.
Value-chain engagement
Continued supplier engagement programme as part of continuous improvement initiatives.
Changes to data 2022
Increase due to changes in transportation and distribution routes.
Upstream leased assets
Downstream transportation
and distribution
Emissions from transportation
and distribution activities
through the value-chain
where suppliers (upstream) or
customers (downstream)
arrange transporters.

OUR FUTURE SASOL STRATEGY
Processing of sold products
Emissions from processing of
sold products by customers
subsequent to sale.
Covers almost all chemical products. This category is complex to estimate since many chemicals have multiple applications with details of chemicals processing and conversion by customers not
always known. Efforts are focused on active engagement with our customers to understand their target setting for these emissions. Where customers request focused engagements, we collaborate
and innovate on process improvements.
Most material categories are those with emissions of more than 1 Mt CO2e
