Social advocacy,
community health
and payroll giving
Sasol partnered with five organisations
advocating against gender-based violence
(GBV), hosting the "#It’s-MyResponsibility Too" campaign.
Sasol continues to invest in organisations who are front liners in advocating
against GBV, inclusion and other social justice issues and has contributed over
R10 million to these organisations over the past few years. We believe
diversity and inclusion are more effective when driven as an integral part of the
business strategy as clearly demonstrated by our HR plans and policies. Extending
this mindset to our employees and fenceline communities is an imperative.
In addition to the campaign we hosted a
market day to raise funds
for social enterprises and
non-profit organisations who work in the
GBV environment. We invited them to sell
their products to Sasol employees in order to
raise funds and expand their market. This
initiative was a great success and created
the awareness while raising funds in the
fight against GBV.
Over
R720 000
was contributed by Sasol
employees and Sasol added
R631 000 to about
137 organisations to enable
them to deliver value in
communities.
In support of annual CANSA Shavathon, employees raised over R89 000 from
donations and sale of various items. Funds were donated to organisations that
offer cancer-related support. R45 000 was from Sasolburg Operations and R44 000
from Secunda Operations.
