FY23 OUTCOMES
ETHICS TRAINING AND AWARENESS
MANAGING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
We provide our employees with ethics training
and awareness to foster a resilient ethical
culture, where ethical behaviour is the norm and
is reflected in everything that we do and in every
business decision.
We manage conflicts of interest in accordance
with the Sasol Conflicts of Interest Policy and the
Process Guidelines. Employees are always
encouraged to avoid any actual, potential or
perceived conflicts of interest. Should a conflict
of interest arise, this must be declared,
mitigated and approved using the Sasol
declaration system (SDS) or manually in the
jurisdictions which do not have access to the
SDS. If the conflict is approved then, mitigation
actions must be captured and agreed in writing.
We provide ethics training and ongoing
communication to employees including a course
called 8Exploring Ethics and Economic Crime9
jointly presented by the Group Ethics Office
and Sasol Assurance Services. We also provide
targeted training on Sasol9s Conflict of Interest
Policy. To increase the discourse on ethics, our
CEO includes ethics messages in his webinar
addresses to employees.
2 354 employees elected to complete the conflict
of interest training.
MANAGING GIFTS, ENTERTAINMENT
AND HOSPITALITY
By managing gifts, entertainment and
hospitality we work to reduce possible fraud or
corruption by our employees and stakeholders
and ensure adherence to the Prevention and
Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, 12 of 2004.
We require the pre-approval of all gifts,
entertainment or hospitality received or given
with a value exceeding a specified limit, or which
are offered or received from public officials, or
which may create a conflict of interest for
Sasol employees.
2 118 employees elected to complete the
managing gifts, entertainment and hospitality
computer based training.
We provide training to Board members on
Sasol9s Code of Conduct, as well as on our
policies related to conflict of interest and gifts,
entertainment and hospitality.
