Lower production volumes contributed to a reduction in gross greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions of 13,5% compared to our 2017 baseline.
The year-on-year emissions decline is primarily due to lower pure gas
throughput, reduced steam production, and enhanced operational stability
within the gas circuit at Secunda Operations (SO). The planned recovery of
production volumes to >7,4mt from SO will result in an increase in emissions
from 2026. This reduction was partially offset by prioritisation of natural
gas to support production output over power generation.
In line with our optimised ERR, sustainable market mechanism's are now
included in our portfolio of GHG mitigation levers. In 2025, South Africa
Energy and Chemicals retired 3,8 mtCO2e carbon credits, contributing to
the total net GHG reduction of 19%.
International Chemicals scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions
International Chemicals GHG emissions were ~23% lower than the 2017
baseline, ~5% lower than FY24 emissions. Lower emissions were driven
by a 12% cut achieved through the Emissions Reduction Roadmap and
the balance attributed to lower utilisation rates amid a subdued global
chemical market.
Scope 3 emissions
Category 11 emissions increased in FY25, primarily due to increased sales
of natural gas and coal. The rise in natural gas sales was largely driven by
the commencement of our Product Sharing Agreement (PSA) asset in
Mozambique. This contributed to an increase in gas volumes supplied to
South Africa. Coal sales also increased mainly due to lower internal coal
consumption by our Synfuels operations, creating surplus volumes available
for sale. In total, use of sold products’ emissions decreased by
approximately 17% compared to our 2019 baseline.
For more detail on our scope 3 emissions, refer to page 85.

4. Group targets includes Secunda, Sasolburg, Mining, North America, Eurasia and our
pipelines, which is a portion of our strategic business units from a 2017 baseline.
5. A revision to the gas production unit in Secunda's emissions calculation methodology
contributed to an emission reduction and a restatement of FY24 emissions from
62 744 to 62 080kt CO2eq. The FY17 baseline remains unchanged.
6. Aligned with the optimised ERR strategy presented at Capital Markets Day (CMD),
targets are defined on a net basis, inclusive of sustainable market mechanisms.

The Group energy efficiency for FY25 improved by 2,9% from the previous
financial year, mainly driven by significant plant improvements at SO
following the annual shutdown, which resulted in improved stability and
substantial lower energy consumption despite lower production volumes.
Chemicals Eurasia also contributed positively towards this result.
Despite some improvements, we are slightly behind on our 30% reduction
from the 2005 baseline, delivering 18,3% to date. Re-established stable
plant operations with committed production volumes in combination with
full implementation of our EnEf improvement roadmap up to 2030, will
ensure achievement of the 30% EnEf target by 2030.
