PERFORMANCE
Our human rights programme remains dynamic
and adaptable, continuously evolving in response
to the shifting regulatory environment and insights
gained from ongoing human rights impact
assessments and improvement opportunities.
Our Human Rights Policy was updated to ensure that
we align with best practice and communicate our salient
human rights, as prioritised by Sasol. The policy further
sets out our human rights governance and management
approach and the grievance mechanisms in place to
remediate any identified human rights impacts. In
addition to the Sasol Human Rights Policy, Sasol Germany
GmbH in line with local regulatory requirements has
approved and published a Declaration of Human Rights
Principles 2025.
Sasol continues to maintain BHR due diligence processes
in terms of which potential human rights impacts are
assessed, managed and reported in accordance with the
Sasol BHR framework. Due diligence processes in place
include:
• Self-assessments: used to identify potential human
rights issues that might arise in connection with each
business unit’s operations and business relationships.
• Supply-chain due diligence: Sasol’s BHR supplier
onboarding and monitoring procedures, applicable to
Sasol suppliers, implemented to identify and monitor
potential human rights impacts that may arise as a
result of the business relationship concluded between
Sasol and a supplier, supported by applicable BHR
contractual provisions that are appropriate to the
level risk exposure assessed per supplier.
• Sasol M&A Due Diligence Guidance on Human
Rights: human rights-focused due diligence guidance
for mergers and acquisitions, incorporated into the
internal Sasol Mergers and Acquisitions Handbook, to
ensure that potential human rights issues associated
with acquisitions and sales of corporate entities
by Sasol are identified and managed appropriately
in accordance with the Sasol Human Rights
Policy. Furthermore, potential JV partners are
required to complete a human rights due diligence
questionnaire to be able to do business with Sasol.

Training and awareness
Sasol promotes a culture of continuous learning and
development to ensure its employees have a greater
understanding of the business risks and opportunities
associated with upholding and protecting of human
rights in line with the Sasol Code of Conduct and
Human Rights Policy.
To enhance a stronger health and safety culture within
Sasol as well as ensuring compliance and/or adherence
to human rights related principles and regulations, our
internal BHR training programme was revised and updated
in FY24 to ensure its continued relevance and to align it
to current business processes and procedures.
The training material, which was revised to incorporate a
pre-assessment optionality among other functionality
improvements, dealt with:
• The implications of forced labour and human trafficking
within a corporate organisation.
• Identification of red flags and measures in place to
address such red flags.
• Implementation of due diligence processes to prevent
forced labour in the supply chain.
The updated Sasol BHR global employee training programme
was rolled out with effect from 1 July 2024 and as at
30 June 2025, 99% of targeted group of employees
have successfully completed the training.
Sasol provided awareness training to our suppliers who
support our South Africa and Mozambique Operations, on
human rights related matters including matters specifically
highlighted in the Sasol Slavery and Human Trafficking
Statement. As at 30 June 2025, approximately 1 045
registered suppliers participated in the FY25 awareness
training program. To access Sasol’s Slavery and Human
