| Our safety, health and environment policy and targets |
|
| All our operations are governed by an integrated SH&E policy
and by a series of group-wide SH&E performance targets that
supplement existing commitments made at the level of the
individual company and/or plant. |

Each Sasol business is required
to track their performance against these targets and to submit
quarterly reports to their respective boards. These quarterly reports
outline each business's major risks and liabilities, identify progress
against the group's sustainability targets and report on any major
incidents and events of non-compliance. A review of ourperformance against each of these targets is available .
An important milestone this year has been the approval of
management plans by all our existing business units outlining how
they propose to meet our globally applicable SH&E minimum
requirements. These minimum requirements, which are based
on World Bank Group standards, apply to all new and existing
Sasol projects and all joint ventures (JVs) under Sasol's
managerial control.
With regard to new projects, our research, development,
engineering, construction and operation process goes through a
thorough stage-gate business development and implementation
model. This has several sequential decision-gate criteria - including
SH&E considerations - aimed at ensuring that we comply with
the regulations of the countries in which we operate and with
our SH&E minimum requirements. |

| Adopting integrated management systems |
|
We have continued to make progress towards achieving the group
goal of having ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation)
14001 and OHSAS (Occupational Health and Safety Management
System) 18001 certification for all our businesses by the end of
2007. The ISO 14001 standard is an internationally accepted
standard for the development and implementation of
environmental management systems, while OHSAS 18001 is an
international occupational health and safety management system.
We are working hard to develop and adopt integrated management
systems throughout the organisation.
Certification to these standards entails regular audits by an
independent, accredited third party. Our businesses in South Africa
have received more than 40 ISO 14001 certifications and most of
our US and European businesses are also ISO 14001 certified.
We have recently started to obtain OHSAS 18001 certification at
some of our South African, USA and European sites. Our integrated
management systems also make provision for behaviour-based
safety and Responsible Care requirements.
A summary of the status of certification against these standards
throughout the organisation is presented in the accompanying table. |
