OUR COMMITMENT
OUR GROUP APPROACH
We are committed to high ethical standards
and combating corruption throughout our
sphere of influence. This is an important part
of our drive to deliver social value through
our core activities.
Sasol’s ethics strategy is principles based and anchored in the Company‘s shared values,
especially the value of accountability.
The Sasol ethics programme has two main focus areas:
One being proactive – to advance and promote
an ethical culture across the Sasol Group.
The other being reactive – which ensures that all
reports of potential transgressions are appropriately
received, investigated, and resolved.
The success and longevity of the Sasol ethics
programme relies on the correct tone at the
top of the organisation, which includes a
visible demonstration of leadership’s belief in,
and commitment to, an ethical organisation.
PERFORMANCE
Holding a strong ethical culture
Whistleblower policy
24-hour EthicsLine
Sasol conducted an externally run Ethics
Opportunity and Risk Assessment, to improve
the management of ethics within Sasol.
This comprehensive assessment has identified
opportunities to improve our ethics management
program and included an Ethics Management
Maturity Assessment. The Ethics Management
Assessment scored Sasol’s ethics program at
83% which confirms “good compliance with
minor improvements that can still be made.”
Sasol promotes a culture in which all stakeholders and employees
are encouraged to speak up and report unethical, illegal, or
undesirable conduct involving Sasol and those implicated,
without fear of retaliation and reprisal. Sasol has zero tolerance
for any victimisation or retaliation against any whistleblower
who in good faith makes a report or against any witnesses who
supports an ethics investigation.
The Sasol EthicsLines are confidential and independent
systems which ensure the anonymity of callers. Separate
systems are operated for callers from South Africa, Mozambique
and US, vs callers from China and Europe to ensure that the
local whistleblower laws and data privacy laws are adhered to.
Anti-corruption, anti-bribery
and competition (anti-trust) law
We provide annual training on compliance
and ethics. Our guidelines, standards and
procedures are updated regularly in line with
changes in the law.
Sasol rolled out three separate compliance
training modules in FY24. The compliance training
included competition law, anti-bribery and
sanctions. This training is provided to employees
identified as posing a higher risk of being exposed
to compliance risks. The process targets
employees on role category execution and above.
