| Scope of our report | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This report, which has been published with reference to the G3 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reviews Sasol's economic, social and environmental performance for the period between 1 July 2006 and 30 June 2007. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The report covers the activities of all the Sasol operations globally
in which Sasol holds a minimum of 50% shareholding, and/or has operational
control. Data is reported on a 100% basis even where the Sasol shareholding
is less than 100%. On 1 July 2006, a decision was taken by the group executive
committee (GEC) not to include full sustainable development data from our
Olefins & Surfactant facilities (O&S), as the planned divestiture was expected
to be completed by August 2006. Accordingly, only data for fatalities,
recordable cases, fires, explosions and releases (FERs) and logistics incidents
for 0&S have been included, while environmental data for O&S has been excluded,
even though the planned divestiture of these facilities was terminated
in March 2007. The non-inclusion of these facilities in this year’s
report has had a bearing on some of our environmental data for comparative
purposes, and environmental data for O&S for previous years has been excluded
to ensure valid comparison. Tables throughout the report show the necessary
footnotes explaining what was included and what was not. We will be including
these operations within our quantitative performance reporting from the
beginning of the 2008 financial year. Seperately owned non-Sasol organisations
within our boundaries (rented or leased) are excluded for reporting purposes.
Although excluded, Sasol seeks to influence their performance – particularly
on safety – through training and sharing best-practice. Our readers should also keep in mind that our operations were affected by a major planned shut down during the course of the reporting period. This might have had impacts on our environmental performance and should be taken into account when comparing year-on-year data. As about 80% of our workforce is based in South Africa, which is the site of our head office and our most significant operations, the report has a predominant focus on our activities in South Africa.These maps indicate our global operations.We also have a GRI index available. |

| Assurance | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As outlined in the assurance statement, some of the data in this report has been independently assured by KPMG. To facilitate comparability with our previous reports, we have endeavoured to be consistent in the parameters reported against year-on-year. In some instances, however, these have been amended and updated to ensure greater integration of reporting practices throughout our increasingly globalising company, as well as to implement world best-practice. Changes in the reporting parameters are explained in relevant sections of the report. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
