COMMITMENT
At Sasol, Sustainability Data Reporting
encompasses Safety, Health and Environment
(SHE) as well as Sustainable Development
(SD), which is governed through its integrated
combined assurance model.
Sasol is committed to enabling effective strategy
execution by providing reliable decision ready
sustainability data to its internal and external
stakeholders. This commitment is embedded in
Sasol’s governance framework, ensuring that
sustainability data is consistently managed,
independently assured and aligned with Sasol’s
strategic objectives.
GROUP
APPROACH
Through the Sasol Group Procedure for Sustainability
Data Reporting, Sasol has established a unified
sustainability reporting framework which provides clear
guidance on reporting processes and defines the suite
of Group key performance indicators (KPIs) that drive
consistency and accountability across the organisation.
Structured reporting timelines and disciplined
execution underpin the delivery of accurate, validated
data across the Group, with independent assurance
embedded at its core.
Data completeness and accuracy are reinforced
through tightly managed data collection cycles,
supporting both efficient internal management
reporting and credible external disclosures. Leveraging
the company’s existing Group data management
platform, SAP Sustainability Performance Management
(SuPM), sustainability data is captured at Operating
Model Entity level. The system enables robust
governance by facilitating structured review and
approval workflows in line with Group requirements.
Independent assurance further strengthens confidence
in the integrity, reliability and quality of Sasol’s
sustainability disclosures. This year marked KPMG’s
third consecutive year as Sasol’s independent third
party auditor, providing assurance over both financial
and non-financial information. As global sustainability
reporting standards continue to evolve, including those
issued by the International Sustainability Standards
Board (ISSB), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Directive (CSRD), and the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), alignment across
all internal processes has become increasingly
critical. In-depth knowledge of internal processes
now forms the foundation for an even stronger third
year assurance process with KPMG, with actionable
improvements being embraced across all facets of
the business.
PROGRAMMES AND PERFORMANCE
Performance through transformation
Significant focus has been placed on strengthening
Sasol’s readiness to respond to evolving reporting
demands. To navigate the rapidly changing
sustainability reporting landscape, the work done
through the New Reporting Requirements (NRR)
Working Group continues to play a central role. This
cross functional team drives alignment between
emerging global disclosure standards and Sasol’s
systems, processes and controls. Through an
in-depth gap analysis of Sasol’s current suite of
sustainability KPIs, four KPIs were developed and
enabled to close potential identified gaps. These are
now being reported at a Group level.
The Group has officially kicked off the next phase of the system replacement project to phase out SAP SuPM, replacing this with a new reporting platform. This new platform
will be designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of sustainability data collection, analysis and reporting.
