PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP
Our commitment
We are committed to ensuring safe chemicals
management through continuously mitigating and
improving the Safety, Health and Environment (SHE)
impacts of our products. This is done while actively
managing safety and security across the product
lifecycle, in collaboration with suppliers, customers and
other stakeholders.
Our group approach
Through our well-established product stewardship approach, we aim to ensure safe chemicals management
throughout a product’s lifecycle, while also ensuring that the chemistry contributes to society and benefits
the environment. This is addressed by:
z Establishing trust in the Sasol brand:
We do so by consistently fulfilling our commitment
to product stewardship across the entire value
chain;
z Maintaining a team of global technical experts:
Our team possesses a deep understanding
of product hazards, risks and regulatory
requirements. They actively drive continuous
improvement to prevent product-related
www
incidents and minimise health and environmental
exposure; and
z Engaging with partners and stakeholders:
We collaborate with our partners and
stakeholders along the value chain, promoting
safe and responsible practices related to storage,
use, conversion and end-of-life management of
our products.
Product stewardship approach is stipulated in the Sasol Group Commitment to the Safe Management of Hazardous Products, refer to www.sasol.com/esg
PERFORMANCE
HIGHLIGHTS
Sasol awarded four EcoVadis® medals.
Designing safe products
Toluene free thinners
Our commitment to providing a safe and competitive product portfolio involves an
ongoing review process. Through our global team of Sasol experts, we proactively
and continuously scan regulations, screen peer-reviewed scientific research on
chemical safety, and engage in product development. This enables us to anticipate
any legal changes that may impact products ahead of formal regulatory adoption.
Sasol Chemicals has introduced a safer, internally sourced
hydrocarbon to replace toluene in our thinner solvent
formulations. This innovation enhances health and environmental
safety, supports sustainability, and reduces reliance on external
raw materials – delivering smarter, more responsible solutions.
