Our community affairs programme seeks to promote people-centred, needs-driven sustainable development of communities.

During 2012, the Sasol group committed R345,9 million to socioeconomic development globally, with most of this (R332,3 million) invested in South Africa, our principal host country.

Our key priorities are determined by regulatory, business and community needs and are focused on the following five areas:

  • Education with the emphasis on improving school-based education in science, technology and literacy; facilitating access to higher education; enabling quality higher education; and developing critical and scarce work skills.
  • Job creation, focusing on the sustainable creation of employment particularly for unskilled or marginalised groups such as women and youth.
  • Health and welfare, with a priority emphasis on addressing key social challenges such as HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria.
  • Arts, culture and sport development with a focus on local talent development.
  • Environment, by pro-actively engaging communities to reduce their impact on the natural environment.

Our community engagement principles are centred on:

  • Community involvement and ownership
  • Strengthen community leadership
  • Targeted impacts-driven interventions
  • Addressing key community priorities
  • Strategic research informed interventions
  • Monitoring and evaluation
  • Building capacity through partnership
