Sasol
for Good
Why we invest
At Sasol, volunteerism is paramount.
As an effective tool to change the world,
we encourage volunteering as a way
of contributing to the growth of local
communities, as well as working towards
the achievement of the government’s
Sustainable Development Goals.
Through Sasol for Good, we give our employees 40
hours of paid leave per annum in which to volunteer.
We also complement their financial contributions
to fundraising initiatives of their choice via payroll
deductions by matching volunteer contributions.
We encourage our employees to get involved in their
communities by volunteering their time, skills and
resources through company and employee-initiated
social development causes. By doing so we leverage
the considerable, diverse abilities and expertise
of our employees as volunteers in causes that
empower fenceline communities and co-create
sustainable livelihoods.

SASOL IN SOCIETY 2023
What we invest in
▪ Employee giving – where employees give time
or money to causes who benefit from employee
giving, while employees are enriched with a
greater understanding of community issues,
which makes them advocates on those issues.
▪ NGO capacity building and philanthropic giving
to support community NGOs.
▪ Philanthropy activities – linked to our fenceline
communities where we donate to small
fenceline community initiatives to enable them
to continue implementing programmes to
uplift their communities.
▪ Community initiatives – various community
development initiatives are done, including
Mandela Day, CANSA Shavathon, School
Shoes Drive, Festive Drive, etc to assist our
fenceline communities and also work with
our franchisees on programmes closer to
their forecourts.
