Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 | Conflict Minerals Disclosure |
Sasol is an international integrated chemicals and energy company. We develop and commercialise technologies and build and operate world-scale facilities to produce a range of high value product streams, including liquid fuels, chemicals and lower-carbon electricity.
In accordance with our Sasol Code of Conduct and the Sasol Supplier Code of Conduct, Sasol adheres to trade controls and international sanctions. We conduct due diligence on customers, suppliers and partners. Suppliers are also expected to operate in accordance with values and behaviours comparable to ours and in a manner which is consistent with prudent business practice. For further information please consult www.sasol.com/suppliers/ethics
Sasol conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry that it believes was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “Covered Countries”), for the period January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. The minerals considered were columbite-tantalite (source of tantalum), cassiterite (source of tin), gold and wolframite (source of tungsten).
It was determined that certain products manufactured by Sasol Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, “Sasol”), or which Sasol contracted to be manufactured, contained tin and tungsten which are necessary to the functionality or production of such products.
Sasol’s supply chain tiers are far removed from conflict minerals mining activities, with no direct business relationship with any such mines or metal processing facilities. In order to conduct its reasonable country of origin inquiry, Sasol identified first-tier suppliers that supply Sasol goods containing Conflict Minerals used in, and necessary to the functionality or production of, products manufactured by Sasol or products that Sasol contracted to be manufactured. Sasol verifies that the origin of Conflict Minerals used in its production processes, excludes both the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Covered Countries by relying on the publicly available Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policies of suppliers, the supplier’s listing on the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) Conformant companies published on Responsible Mineral Initiatives (RMI) website or by obtaining written representations from affected suppliers confirming that the country of origin of the Conflict Minerals excludes both the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Covered Countries.
Based on its reasonable country of origin and confirmation of smelters inquiry, Sasol has determined that it has no reason to believe that its necessary Conflict Minerals may have originated in both the Democratic of Congo and the Covered Countries.
We will continue to raise awareness of Conflict Minerals across our supply chain, and should there be any changes, we will endeavour to communicate such changes accordingly.
