7. Includes Mining. Natref, Mozambique and some strategic business units
are excluded from Sasol Energy’s 2030 GHG target. Target setting for
Natref will be undertaken in consultation with our JV partner.
8. GHG reduction due to production variances and mitigation (see alongside).
Energy Efficiency
Sasol’s Group energy efficiency improved by 2,1% from the
previous year mainly due to higher production and lower
energy consumption.

Scope 3 emissions
Relative to 2023, there was a slight reduction in Category 11
emissions due to decreased fuel sales volumes. In total,
emissions decreased by approximately 20% when compared
to our 2019 baseline.

Sasol Energy scope 1 and 2 target tracking excluding Natref
Chemicals scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions
The International Chemicals Business saw a GHG reduction
of 18,8% from 2017, slightly higher than emissions in 2023.
Persistent low utilisation rates and weak product volumes,
as a result of a depressed global chemicals sector, continue
to negatively affect production and consequently lowered
GHG emissions.

In 2024, we maintained an approximate 5%
reduction off the combined Sasol Energy
and Chemicals 2017 scope 1 and 2 baseline.
Energy scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions
Focused efforts to recover production from the foundation
business to sustainable levels, aligned with our ERR, resulted
in marginally higher GHG emissions for the Energy Business.
Product volumes were, however, lower relative to 2017,
resulting in the 3,8% lower GHG emissions from 2017.

3. Represents 95% of total Group emissions, includes Mining, excludes
Mozambique, Natref and some strategic business units.
4. Represents a combined Sasol Energy and Chemicals restated 2017 baseline
due to divestments and methodology improvements (see our 2022 climate
change report).
5. GHG reduction due to production variances and mitigation (see alongside).
Scope 1 and 2 emissions (ktCO2e)
1. GHG emissions have been calculated and reported in accordance
with the GHG Protocol ( www www.ghgprotocol.org) and the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2006 guidelines,
data breakdown provided PD refer to performance data.
2. Group scope 1 and 2 emissions do not equal our scope 1 and 2 targets.
