commemoration of International Day of PwD. We also strengthened PwD
representation through external recruitment and the absorption of PwD
learners, upon programme completion, into permanent roles.
Employment equity (EE) and skills development
Advancing our Employment Equity and Broad-Based Black Economic
Empowerment objectives in South Africa, alongside our commitment
to localisation in Mozambique, remains a strategic priority, with targets
embedded into performance contracts of Sasol leaders. Our five-year
EE Plan through FY28 is a critical lever in addressing transformation
barriers and enabling the achievement of our EE goals. The plan is primarily
focused on enhancing the representation of African and Coloured men
and women, as well as people with disabilities (PwDs), across all
occupational levels to close current gaps, while ensuring balanced
and equitable representation across all population groups.
The empowerment of women addressed barriers to gender inclusion and
placed emphasis on equitable representation, skills and capability building.
Through our talent management processes, we improved diversity in
our succession pools across all talent segments. The health of our
pre-investment pools remains critical to ensuring the sustainability of
our talent pipelines. Our Graduate Development Programme comprises
of 44% women. Bursars comprises of 51,3% women while our learnerships
comprises of 44,6% women.
In support of our commitment, our Group Executive Committee revisited
and increased our Global Gender ambition across the different regions
where we operate.
Our commitment to building a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable
workforce is further supported through targeted learning and development
initiatives aligned with our FY28 five-year EE plan. These initiatives are
designed to foster a culture of belonging across Sasol and include focused
efforts to strengthen our talent pipeline through structured development
programmes such as learnerships, apprenticeships, and bursaries. These
pre-investment interventions are critical in nurturing future-ready talent
and advancing transformation across all levels of the organisation.
People with disabilities (PwD) inclusion
For FY25 we hired 932 employees globally from the
external market across all role categories. Sasol has a
global employee turnover rate of 6,18% (FY24: 9,84%)
which includes employees retiring.
We continued our dedicated efforts to promote the inclusion of People with
Disabilities (PwD) in South Africa through an ongoing awareness campaign
encouraging voluntary disability declaration, line manager empowerment
sessions to enable the reasonable accommodation of PwD, as well as the
South African workforce diversity*
