The year in review: global impact continued
Community development
(Infrastructure, health and disability support)
Our community development
programme is premised on
understanding our symbiotic
relationship with fenceline
communities – more so
because our employees live
in these communities.
Investing in the infrastructure
surrounding our operations
and the health of our
communities indirectly
benefits our business.
We invest in programmes that support and improve systems that
are able to sustain our communities. It is often the most
marginalised members of a community that are impacted by lack
of access to service delivery, often leaving them exposed to health
and safety risks. We recognise that it is not the primary role of
Sasol to provide municipal services. However, as a partner in the
regions in which we operate, particularly in South Africa and
Mozambique, we understand that we have a role to play in
supporting local government efforts to create an enabling
environment for not only communities to thrive but our business
as well. Our collaboration with local governments in providing
access to basic healthcare services and infrastructure facilities
supports our business activities.
We invest in:
Infrastructure
development
Health
and wellness programmes for healthier
communities who will be productive and in turn
contribute positively to society
Disability
programmes
By investing in these programmes, we contribute towards the
creation of healthy, sustainable communities.
Globally, over 200 000 community members were
positively impacted by our community development programmes.
