Economic transformation
and local content
More than 615 community
members attended 25 Sasol-supported
certification workshops – some from womenand minority-owned businesses.
This resulted in more than
US$2,7 million revenue
generated and 137 jobs created.
The World Bank Environmental Overview 2019 Report states that;
“Biodiversity is an essential element of life,
the very fabric of "natural capital". The enormous
variety and complex interactions between species, no matter how
small or insignificant they might seem, keep our ecosystems
functional and make our economies productive. Supporting
biodiversity targets and efforts within countries of business
operations is important to Sasol. In our North America fenceline
communities, we responded to key initiatives in 2019/2020.
Environmental
stewardship
Through ‘Partners in Parks’ programme,
we supported the City of Lake Charles in hosting
12 educational events focusing on
nature walks, biodiversity, and bird watching.
The park hosted two field trips at Tuten Park as
part of environment-based outdoor classroom
programmes to educate groups on natural
habitats and ecosystems.
288 students attended.
We support The Longleaf
Legacy Project dedicated
to the heritage, restoration
and sustainability of
endangered longleaf pine
forest. The initiative’s
objective is to help restore
the longleaf pine habitat in
Sam Houston Jones State
Park near Sasol’s site in
Southwest Louisiana.
The project achieved a
major milestone with the
mulching of Phase 3 of the
project site.
Approximately
21,5 acres was
mulched, representing
the final area to be
mulched as part of the
project.
