for Good
WHAT WE ARE DOING
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
local communities and co-create
sustainable livelihoods.
The causes benefit from employee
giving, while employees are enriched
with a greater understanding of
community issues, which makes them
advocates on those issues.
We also support Non-Governmental
Organisation (NGO) capacity
building and philanthropic giving
to support community NGOs.
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
gifts and volunteer grants.

A As the traditional Chinese solar term ‘Chu Shu’
arrived, marking the end of the hot and humid
season, Sasol China’s Handicraft Club, in
collaboration with the Amity Foundation,
organised a unique cultural event at the
Haolaiwu Senior Home. Held on the afternoon
of 24 August 2024, the event featured a
cultural heritage activity – a tie-dyeing
workshop that brought together the elderly
residents of the senior home and Sasol
employees and their families.
A The workshop was designed as an intergenerational
experience to preserve and promote traditional
Chinese crafts. Parents and children worked
alongside the elderly residents to create beautiful
tie-dyed fabrics, a craft that has been passed
down through generations in China.

A The event aimed not only to showcase the
beauty and skill of tie-dyeing but also to
promote the values of respect, care, support,
and assistance for the elderly, aligning with the
Chinese cultural emphasis on filial piety and
community care.
A “By engaging in this hands-on activity, we hope
to foster a sense of community and mutual
respect,” said Qin Zhang, the event organiser.
“It’s a small step toward raising awareness
about the importance of caring for our elders
and preserving our cultural heritage.”
A The workshop was warmly received by both
families and elders, who expressed delight in
learning a new skill while contributing to a
meaningful cause. This event highlights ongoing
efforts to keep traditional Chinese crafts alive
and to integrate them into modern life, ensuring
that the wisdom of the past continues to
enrich the present and future generations.
