At Sasol, we work to create a positive and measurable socio-economic impact, responding to key societal challenges in our operational geographies and fenceline communities.

What can the broader society expect from Sasol?

Our investment results in enhanced economic participation, contributing to growth and improved quality of life within our operating geographies and fenceline communities.

Our social investment (SI) approach is brought to life through a multi-pronged, multi-year methodology to respond to the priorities or our fenceline communities. This is to ensure that we deliver impactful and relevant programmes which create shared value among various stakeholders.

This is accomplished through the intersection of Sasol's intent with our fenceline community priorities and national, provincial and local priorities in our operating geographies and fenceline communities.

• Improving the quality of educational outcomes for our learners, from early childhood development to entrepreneurship and employment, and investing in research and development in the country.
• Increasing the pool and quality of relevant skills to bridge the education gap for our fenceline community members, in order to increase the employability, with particular focus on youth, women and mothers excluding men.
• Enabling economic inclusion opportunities for small businesses to contribute to the economic growth in our operating geographies through our economic transformation and local content, which promotes small business development and preferential procurement programmes and sourcing from local suppliers. 
• Contributing to improving the quality of life of our local communities through better access to quality health systems and community service infrastructure and building resilient community infrastructure to improve healthcare, sanitation, electricity and roads for our fenceline communities through our community development programmes.
• Investing in community health infrastructure to ensure improved quality of life and to reduce the inequality gap caused by a lack of access to health care services and by improving the quality of life and health of communities by reducing health and environmental risks through our water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programmes.
• Increasing environmental awareness through environmental stewardship programmes which contribute to building a sustainable community, and circular systems recycling.
• Creating mutual partnership connections between Sasol employees, civil society and non-profit organisations who do good in our communities through our Sasol for Good programme, including voluntary payroll donations, once-off donations and disaster relief contributions.
