COMMITMENT
Sasol is committed to respect and uphold human
rights by:
Avoiding adverse human rights impacts that
Sasol may cause or contribute to, through its
business activities and relationships, including
employees, communities, joint venture (JV) and
business partners, suppliers, customers and
service providers
Doing business based on fair, lawful and
transparent practices
As a signatory of the United Nations Global
Compact (UNGC), Sasol has aligned its business
and human rights framework (BHR framework)
with the UN Guiding Principles on Business
and Human Rights (UNGPs). Sasol achieves its
commitments by ensuring the integration of human
rights principles into its business processes and
practices in accordance with the UNGPs.

APPROACH
rights in line with Sasol’s Human Rights Policy. The Safety, Social and Ethics Committee, a delegated
sub-committee of the Board, is responsible for, among others, the implementation of Sasol’s BHR
framework and the overall approach to human rights. The framework supports the integration of relevant
human rights considerations into Sasol’s business processes and activities.
• The approach to human rights is aligned with international standards and guidelines such as the UNGPs
and the UNGC, and national laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the company operates.
Sasol’s BHR policies and procedures encompass its own operations, supply chain, JVs, customers and
other business partners.
The BHR framework, which
is an overarching framework
to the Sasol’s human rights
approach, supports the
integration of relevant human
rights considerations into
business processes and
activities, and therefore supports
Sasol’s commitment to align
its practices with the UNGPs.
A key aspect is the incorporation
of human rights due diligence
into Sasol’s overall enterprise
risk management approach,
underpinned by Sasol’s
Enterprise Risk Management
(ERM) Framework. The ERM
Framework sets the foundation
for business units to effectively
manage their respective
risks in a systematic and
standardised manner.
It is the responsibility of every employee to know and understand Sasol’s human rights
commitments, expectations and responsibilities as set out in the Sasol Human Rights Policy
and remain vigilant to ensure third party’s compliance with this policy.
Human rights impacts which have been identified as being most salient to Sasol, are
broken down to the following categories:

procedures, and embedding
relevant actions in the business
resides with the leadership of the
various business units.
