Sasol FY26 Climate and Sustainability Highlights

Category	Highlight Summary
Emissions Reduction Roadmap	An integrated approach to innovation and profitability continues to drive this optimisation, supported by strategic roadmaps that ensure regulatory compliance while unlocking resilient and attractive growth pathways. International Chemicals has reached a significant milestone in its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by entering into several biomethane purchase power agreements (BPAs) with CH4T and farmers, Italian producers of biomethane.
Emissions Performance	Sasol achieved an approximately 15% net reduction off the combined 2017 scope 1 and 2 baseline. Scope 3, Category 11, Sasol’s largest Scope 3 category, decreased by approximately 9% compared with FY25, and emissions from the use of sold products remained 24% below the 2019 baseline.
Low-carbon Operations	A key milestone in FY26 was the successful transition to low carbon steam generation at Natref, with all three low carbon boilers achieving beneficial operation and replacing coal derived steam supply. This transition supports compliance with evolving emissions standards, while delivering a meaningful reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Renewable Energy and Partnerships	This progress included the commercial operation of renewable energy projects, the building of a scalable power portfolio, the obtaining of an electricity trading licence, and the launch of market partnerships such as Ampli Energy. Milestones in sustainable products included ISCC+ certification for Renewable Diesel (RD), SAF, and certified monomers, along with commercial-scale production of RD and SAF.
Carbon Management	Sasol retired approximately 3,84 million carbon credits against its carbon tax obligation, supporting verified emissions-reduction projects and South Africa’s carbon market. Sasol continues to strengthen its carbon market capabilities to support future compliance, decarbonisation and value creation, with FY27 focused on expanding market participation and assessing strategic opportunities.
Biomethane Progress	International Chemicals continues to make progress toward its 2030 emissions reduction target through a revised portfolio of projects, including the United States VPPA concluded with Akuo in June 2025 and the biomethane purchase agreements implemented in Italy.
Climate Adaptation	Sasol made meaningful progress in strengthening its adaptation response and aligning with emerging global disclosure expectations. Sasol updated and expanded the climate change adaptation risk profiles across the Southern African value chains, with a specific focus on supply chain infrastructure, critical logistics corridors and key operational assets.
Policy and Disclosure	Sasol remains committed to ongoing collaboration with the DFFE as the carbon budget Sasol’s climate commitments are underpinned by science-based principles and demonstrate a clear level of ambition.
Sustainable Fuels and Products	Sustainable fuels and products have been de-risked through early-stage milestones, including ISCC+ readiness, progression of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at Natref and the establishment of technology partnerships, creating credible development pathways.
Regulatory developments	South Africa’s air quality regulatory framework continued to evolve during the reporting period, increasing both compliance complexity and implications for the company’s integrated operations. The revised Highveld Priority Area Air Quality Management Plan was gazetted, introducing strengthened emission reduction requirements for both Sasol Mining and Secunda Operations.
Gas strategy execution	The PSA project achieved important operational milestones, with the Integrated Processing Facility (IPF) reaching beneficial operation in March 2026 following a revised execution timeline.
