Why we invest
Sasol’s community development programmes are premised on the needs of those closest
to our fenceline communities and guided by our desire to strengthen relationships with our
stakeholders and regulators, which is a material matter.
While we recognise that it is not the primary role of Sasol to provide municipal services, it is often the most
marginalised members of a community that are impacted by lack of access to service delivery. As a partner in the
many regions in which we operate (particularly in South Africa and Mozambique), we understand that we have a
role to play in supporting and collaborating with local government efforts to create an enabling environment in
which both communities and businesses can thrive.
What we invest in?
▪ Infrastructure development;
▪ Health and wellness programmes for healthier
communities who will be productive and in turn
contribute positively to society;
▪ Programmes which promote mental and physical
health, including gender-based violence, disability
programmes, and drug abuse.
What we delivered
▪ Completed significant building and repairs
of water and sanitation infrastructures in
flood-affected schools in KwaZulu-Natal.
▪ Partnered with Pink Drive and the Department
of Health to conduct wellness screenings
and cancer awareness in Katlehong, Bethal,
eMbalenhle, Leandra, Zamdela, Refengkgotso
(Deneysville) and Ekangala.
▪ Reached over 15 000 youth with the gender-based
violence campaign What About the Boys
to empower boys to stand against GBV.
▪ Completed a study for GBV with Sonke Gender
Justice to assist us to intervene effectively in
our fenceline communities working through the
Thuthuzela Centres to prevent GBV.
