GHG EMISSIONS
Sasol achieved an approximately 15% net reduction off the combined 2017
The combined scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions show an 8,5% gross
reduction compared to the FY17 baseline. Production volumes increased from
the previous year as operations stabilised, resulting in a corresponding increase
in GHG emissions. Higher production volumes were supported by coal quality
improvement and improved operational stability.

Sustainable market mechanisms, introduced as part of the GHG mitigation
portfolio in 2025, enabled the retirement of 3,8 MtCO2e of carbon credits in
FY26, contributing to an overall net GHG emissions reduction of 15% against
the FY17 baseline.

GROUP GHG PERFORMANCE FOR 2026
Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for IC decreased by 0,2% in FY26 vs. FY25,
despite an overall production increase of ~10%. The main drivers of the GHG
reduction were the shutdown of the HF-LAB unit (Italy) as well as successful
energy efficiency initiatives, primarily in Lake Charles (America), which reduced
natural gas consumption and, consequently, Scope 1 emissions. Additionally,
an increase in renewable electricity in Sasol Italy supported the FY26 Scope 2
GHG reduction.

IC has achieved approximately 24% GHG reduction compared to the FY17 baseline,
from a combination of structural levers (16%) and lower asset utilisation, and is on
track to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030.

SCOPE 2 MARKET- BASED REPORTING
Sasol is developing its market-based Scope 2 reporting capability for its South
African Operations to reflect the increasing contribution of renewable electricity
procured. Sasol secured 345,9 GWh of renewable electricity through its
wheeled Power Purchase Agreement portfolio in FY26, resulting in an estimated
0,37 MtCO₂e reduction in market-based Scope 2 emissions. Market-based
Scope 2 reductions are not included as part of Sasol’s Scope 2 emissions reporting
for FY26 as Sasol continues to develop and formalise the reporting approach.

SASOL INTEGRATED REPORT 2026
The Group energy savings increased marginally from FY25, supported mainly
by improved energy efficiency performance from Sasolburg Operations and
International Chemicals.
