Story
Sasol partners with the National Research Foundation
(NRF) to support a just energy transition
As part of our investments in society for research and technology, especially with
universities, who are key in developing and shaping our global competitiveness
in new and innovative technologies, we have partnered with the National Research
Foundation (NRF) in our tertiary programmes.
This allows us to develop the capacity of our postgraduate students and also build and maintain
the research skills pool and resources in these universities in support of our strategy.
In our quest to continue supporting innovation, research and skills development, we partnered
with the NRF and the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) to respond to just energy transition
challenges and opportunities. This is important not only for the country but for the sustainability
of our fenceline communities.
▪ Over 140 delegates attended the summit held at Sasol Place (80 in person and 60 virtually).
▪ The CEO of Sasol, Mr Fleetwood Grobler, highlighted Sasol’s support to deliver on a low-carbon
economy as well as partnerships that are key enablers in the role played by both academia and
industry to ensure the success of the green economy.
