1 2 3 4 5 6 Chief Financial Officer’s statement to increasing use of renewable energy as well as additional gas feedstock by 2030. By that stage we also intend to reduce our scope 3 emissions by 20% through a reduction of commercialisation of fossil fuels. Our clear objective is to deliver a more sustainable business, but also a business that generates attractive and resilient shareholder returns. In order to do that we will maintain a disciplined and shareholder-focused capital allocation framework alongside our financial targets. The next phase of our strategic and financial plan runs to FY25, by which time Sasol 2.0 should be fully in place. During this period the most immediate priority remains to finish our journey of deleveraging the balance sheet and resume dividends as we increase free cash flow and fund our sustainability initiatives. By FY25 the intention is to have an ROIC of 12 – 15% (assuming a US$55/bbl oil price), with net debt to EBITDA of 1,0 – 1,5 times. Restoring dividends is a key priority and we intend to restore the dividend and step-up payout level. Business resilience remains critical through this phase and we are confident that we can operate our assets optimally and effectively within the planned capital allowance and maintain Secunda’s breakeven level at US$30 – 35/bbl. The transform capital required to deliver the GHG reduction targets will only step-up at the latter part of the next phase and will likely be in the order of R15 – R22 billion in aggregate for the period up to 2030 and will form part of the R20 – R25 billion per annum capital guidance. In the following phase through to financial year 2030 we will look to offer enhanced shareholder returns, while implementing the changes across the business to deliver GHG reduction and generating incremental cash flow to support high returning growth initiatives across the portfolio. We are confident that the ROIC for the portfolio will be competitive compared to our peers. During this period the intention will be to keep net debt/EBITDA levels at 1,0 – 1,5 times levels but bring absolute net debt levels below US$4 billion. As free cash flow increases through the period we will maintain discipline for the allocation of discretionary capital according to the best risk-adjusted return, including the potential for special dividends and share buy-backs. Our disciplined approach will limit exposure to any single project for adequate risk diversification; optimise funding sources including partnering options where appropriate; and regularly review the portfolio to ensure we keep our capital focused in the assets that offer our shareholders the risk-adjusted, long-term returns. After a critical period of delivery we are confident that Sasol has a very bright future. We have set clear goals across our People, Planet and Profit priorities and we have a strategy to deliver them. There remains much uncertainty in the world around us and we may need to adjust course as circumstances evolve, but over the past few years we have proved that Sasol can adapt quickly and we have the resilient team and portfolio we need to head into the future with confidence. going forward. This change has already been implemented as have the early stages of the Sasol 2.0 transformation programme. This is a ground-up reassessment of how the business functions with systems in place to identify and leverage best practice right across the Company. Some of the most challenging elements of the programme have already been implemented with the workforce transition completed and the benefits of that leaner cost structure will flow through in the 2022 financial year. Given the Sasol 2.0 work we also have confidence that we will be able to keep sustenance capital expenditure within a R20 – R25 billion per annum range through to the 2025 financial year without compromising asset integrity. The implementation of the asset divestment programme has also been designed around our strategy, increasing focus on the areas where Sasol has differentiated ability to add value over time and releasing value from other areas of the portfolio. These elements all come together to enable us to deliver competitive returns going forward even in volatile markets. Difficult decisions are, however, still required. The Board sees the restoration of dividends as a priority, but at the moment the dividend remains suspended while we go through the final deleveraging phase. As we work towards resuming the dividend as soon as possible, we hope that we will get support from normalising demand levels as the impact of COVID-19 eases. This should see improved volumes in the South African Energy Business as well as the Eurasian Chemicals Business. Alongside this we anticipate the benefits from the Fulco transition in mining and the ramp-up of the derivatives units at the Lake Charles Chemicals Project (LCCP). There are, however, also some factors that will slow some of this expected recovery, notably coal quality and lower gas supply, which will impact Secunda and maintenance across the Chemicals Business. As a result of these efforts we believe that our balance sheet can provide firm support to execute our Future Sasol strategy without being distracted by further short-term deleveraging imperatives. Five-year accelerated balance sheet deleveraging 2021 represents an important year of delivery for Sasol. Deleveraging the balance sheet was a particular priority in the face of the substantial macro headwinds faced from early 2020. Our ambitious plan has been delivered in full without funding from our shareholders. Gearing has decreased from 117% in the 2020 financial year to around 61% at 30 June 2021, and net debt to EBITDA is now down to around 1,5 times with net debt of US$5,9 billion. All of this was achieved through successful execution of our comprehensive US$6 billion Response Plan. This had a combination of self-help measures and asset divestments to reduce our net debt to an acceptable level. In FY21 we again significantly exceeded our savings target, by delivering over US$1 billion of savings. Asset divestments were a further significant component and by 30 June 2021 we had announced divestments of around US$3,8 billion, with around US$3,1 billion of proceeds already banked. The strengthening of the balance sheet also went beyond the reduction of net debt levels with US$1,5 billion of new bonds issued at very competitive rates. This provided cost effective funding and balanced our maturity profile, ensuring that we maintained the robust liquidity position that was so important in allowing us to trade securely through recent uncertainty. A more resilient business The Response Plan was intended to go beyond near-term balance sheet deleveraging and deliver a business that was more efficient and effective. The past financial year demonstrated significant progress towards this objective with a remarkable turnaround of our financial position, despite the headwinds we faced. Our adjusted EBITDA increased by 38% year-on-year to R48,4 billion compared with a 4% increase in the rand per barrel oil price. Free cash flow before growth capital improved by 75% to R19,4 billion, building on the free cash flow inflection point that we reached earlier this year. There are a number of important elements to building a more resilient business including delivery against the operating and capital cost discipline targets. This has progressed well and in FY21 we achieved R2,4 billion in cash fixed cost savings or a normalised real improvement of 4,2% year-on-year. Besides cost savings we have now introduced a new operating model. This has placed decision-making closer to our customers and should enable more agile and customer-focused decisions Delivering ambitious climate change targets and attractive shareholder returns Building on the firm platform that we have created, Sasol has set ambitious new climate change targets. We have set a target to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030 and an ambition to move to net zero by 2050. In order to achieve this, we will look to build on our unique chemistry and core energy segments and shift Paul Victor Chief Financial Officer 22 September 2021 Sasol Integrated Report 2021 NELC12 D:20210915220821+02'00'9/15/2021 1:08:21 AM --------------------------------------------Delete section indicator NELC12 D:20210915220834+02'00'9/15/2021 1:08:34 AM --------------------------------------------Delete page number and report name 16 Dear stakeholders FY21 reflects the significant turnaround of our business since the collapse of the oil price in early 2020 coupled with the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. The comprehensive Response Plan that we designed to mitigate the impact of these developments has been extremely effective. The balance sheet was substantially deleveraged through a combination of cash conservation, capital and operating discipline and strategic asset divestments. More recently there has been support from an improving macro environment and, despite a negative impact from adverse weather events, the business has continued to show good momentum. The Response Plan has achieved much more than deleveraging the balance sheet. The asset divestment programme has focused the portfolio in areas where we can drive attractive long-term returns; the new operating model takes our business closer to the customer on a more agile basis; and the Sasol 2.0 transformation programme is already demonstrating progress in making the business more efficient and effective. There is more to come over the next few years. From these strong foundations Sasol is now laying out a pathway to achieve a new climate change approach with a significant step-up in our goals. The intention is to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030 and then reach net zero by 2050. This will make Future Sasol a truly sustainable business. There are now numerous initiatives underway across the Company to deliver this. Sasol’s differentiated capabilities, technologies, team and market positions provide the firm platform required. Capital and operating discipline enhanced by the Sasol 2.0 transformation programme create the prospect of highly attractive long-term returns. We have an exciting future ahead of us. Team Sasol delivered an excellent performance in 2021, leading to a strong balance sheet and solid cash flow generation. As we continue with our business transformation programme, we are excited about Future Sasol’s prospects as a greener, more sustainable business that protects and grows shareholder value in a lower-carbon world. KEY MESSAGES ▪ Successful execution of Response Plan to deliver accelerated balance sheet deleveraging ▪ More resilient business through strategic divestments and Sasol 2.0 transformation ▪ Clear framework to meet ambitious new climate change targets and generate sustainable, attractive shareholder returns Paul Victor Chief Financial Officer |

The restructuring HOW WE RESPONDED/WERE IMPACTED OUTLOOK We expect global demand to exceed the 2019 level in Q2 CY22 as COVID-19 restrictions have largely been removed in the United States and are easing in much of Europe. Compared with global demand, we expect a supply shortfall for 1H FY22. However, the stock draw is expected to be small, and for this reason, we do not see further sharp oil price increases unless OPEC+* keeps output at July 2021 levels for the rest of the year. COVID-19 strains and weaker vaccine efficacy, a slower vaccine uptake and a faster return of OPEC+* and Iranian volumes pose a downside price risk.

THE PAST YEAR In anticipation of a recovery in demand and limited supply growth, oil prices continued to strengthen during the year, up from US$43/bbl in July 2020 to US$73/bbl by June 2021. The average FY21 oil price was US$54,20/bbl, 5,8% higher than financial year 2020 (FY20). Demand improved due to the economic recovery and stimulus programmes, widespread vaccination campaigns and the easing of mobility restrictions. OPEC+* has gradually increased production as the demand recovery became more evident, while United State’s oil production growth was limited as oil majors pursued financial discipline and prioritised investor returns.

We continue to execute our mandated FY22 exchange rate programme. OUTLOOK The global outlook has improved, but further COVID-19-waves and variants, and the pace of vaccine rollouts still threaten the global recovery. It is expected that monetary and fiscal stimulus, rising consumer and business confidence, and better employment prospects are likely to support the global growth recovery in the latter half of calendar year 2021 (CY21) and into calendar year 2022 (CY22). World GDP was expected to have reached pre-COVID-19 levels by mid CY21 but recovery remains uneven the United Kingdom and South Africa are expected to lag in recovery. Vaccine rollout challenges, pre-existing structural constraints, policy inconsistencies, corruption, low confidence levels, risk of civil disobedience and strained government reaching pre-COVID-19 levels by late CY22/early calendar year 2023.

South Africa’s economy contracted by 7%, the worst contraction since Reserve Bank records began in 1946. Real per capita GDP essentially recorded its sixth year of decline. As the South African economy reopened following strict lockdowns, growth prospects improved. However, quarter was still 3,2% below pre-pandemic levels. The rand/US$ averaged R15,40/US$, about 2% stronger than the R15,69/US$ recorded the prior year. COVID-19 and vaccine rollout related considerations, global risk sentiment and commodity price trends were the main drivers of rand trends and volatility. Economic growth and exchange rate Our ability to preserve and create value is closely connected to the macroeconomic environments of the countries in which we operate and depends on a number of key economic drivers, our response to them as well as their impact on our stakeholders. We generate almost half of our turnover in South Africa, followed by Europe and then North America from our asset base that is largely distributed across these countries.

Through national policy, businesses have demonstrate how their activities and investments are HOW WE RESPONDED/WERE IMPACTED The total chemicals external sales revenue was 11% higher compared to the prior year with the average sales basket price increasing by 17% compared to the prior year. The higher prices were due to a combination of factors. Despite adverse weather events in both the United States and South Africa impacting production, the previously reported divesture of US Base Chemical assets in Q2 FY21 and the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the total chemical sales volumes were only 3% lower compared to the prior year. We hedged 4 million barrels of our ethane exposure for FY22 at an average swap level of US$c23,18/gal. We continue to execute on the balance of the ethane hedging programme as ethane prices fall within mandated levels. We rose to the challenge to meet the significant demand for Sasol solvents in sanitisers to support efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19. The utilisation of appropriate biomass, circular feedstocks and carbon dioxide utilisation chemistry are all being explored to support net reductions in GHG emissions and growing concerns regarding resource scarcity. OUTLOOK THE PAST YEAR Chemical prices continued to strengthen into 2021 due to a combination of improved demand, higher oil challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. climate change and other key sustainability imperatives within the chemicals industry. COVID-19 has led products. Increased packaging demand driven by both health concerns and higher levels of e-commerce were needs in the automotive sector and many other chemical markets. Chemicals OUTLOOK Chemical demand remains strongly linked to with evolving mega-trends including changes to the way we work and live in a post COVID-19 world. With the expectation of rising oil prices in FY22 and financial year 2023, chemical prices are expected to follow, albeit with a lag. Commodity chemicals prices will also be impacted by changes in supply and demand with the expectation of over-supply in the next 18 to 24 months as new capacity come online, particularly in China. This supply is expected to be balanced with demand in the next three to five years. HOW WE RESPONDED/WERE IMPACTED We tripled our original scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction target to 30% (off a 2017 base and excluding Natref) across our Energy and International Chemicals Businesses, and committed to an ambition for Net Zero by 2050, supported by roadmaps that have built-in flexibility and optionality. We also in scope 3: Category 11 emissions for our We are positioning ourselves to lead the energy transition in South Africa and have developed in a just transition way by creating shared value. hydrogen and contribute positively to jobs and economic growth. We are on the pathway to procure 1 200 MW of renewable electricity by 2030 of which 900 MW is with Air Liquide. Further, we have partnered with the LEN consortium to bid in concept for the production of SAF. We are also looking at opportunities to incubate new low-carbon businesses using our FT technology in our quest to transform our Company into a sustainable enterprise. HOW WE RESPONDED/WERE IMPACTED Our integrated value chain benefitted from higher oil prices in the last quarter of the financial year, strict cost control and disciplined capital expenditure. This performance was however masked by the COVID-19 impact on demand, coal quality and minor plant instabilities. At Secunda Synfuels Operations we benefitted from the postponement of the September 2020 phase shutdown which was replaced with a ‘pitstop’ shutdown in May 2020. However, the increase in volumes was partly offset by some operational challenges. At Natref, together with our partner, we reduced our run rates to respond to lower market demand. Liquid fuel sales volumes were 3% higher than the prior year due to a strong recovery in demand and the easing of lockdown restrictions. We continue to strategically target margin maximisation by placing our products in the highest yielding channels and opened 10 new retail convenience centres. The outlook on sales volumes is expected to be slightly depressed as a result of the third COVID-19 wave and unrests in certain parts of South Africa. In the past year Sasol refreshed its mobility strategy in order to respond to customer needs and strengthen value propositions. At the same time, Sasol’s wholesale value proposition was strengthened to improve reliability of supply. Additional import infrastructure could accelerate a market conversion to cleaner fuels, potentially resulting in unsaleable Sasol product as there is limited market demand. OUTLOOK Refinery margins will track global liquid fuels demand recovery, which face risks as the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic is met with an uneven return to personal mobility. Demand COVID-19 variants, particularly in countries where stocks and more refining capacity than needed during FY22 as new capacity additions outpace THE PAST YEAR Sasol continues to come under pressure to address our emissions profile. We have also been responding to the need to enhance our adaptation response, to increase the physical resilience of our communities, employees and our facilities to the impact of a changing climate. This has been amid numerous severe weather events globally as well as the release of the latest science relating to climate change. With our largest emissions originating in a developing country, it is essential that we transition in a just way. Stakeholder expectations are factored into our response from our diverse stakeholder grouping. and contribute positively to them. This past year saw the South African government approve the establishment of a Presidential Climate Commission to coordinate the country’s Just Transition. It also increased the national target for higher emission reductions by 2030. THE PAST YEAR Excess capacity and high inventories kept refinery margins under pressure. For individual products, petrol margins started to recover during the year as global stocks returned to normal levels on improved mobility as vaccine rollouts in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe progressed. Despite coming down, distillate stocks remained higher than usual as refinery runs to support increasing petrol demand exacerbated diesel oversupply, while air travel remains restricted. Driving patterns shifted from conventional peak traffic hours to a flatter distribution across the day due to work from home policies. The South African refinery landscape continues to evolve with the announcement by Engen that it would convert its refinery into an import terminal. This puts South Africa into a bigger net importer environment. New entrants into the market are beginning to experiment with mobile fuel delivery and sales to tap into customer needs for convenience. In all channels digitalisation continues to play a key role to improve the customer value proposition. On 31 August 2021, the Clean Fuels II Regulations were gazetted with an implementation date of 1 September 2023. In terms of the new Regulations, fuels that do not comply with the Clean Fuels II prescribed specification may not be sold or produced for domestic consumption. Sasol, together with industry bodies, have been engaging with the DMRE as we firmly believe that the country would require five years to be fully compliant with the CFII specifications. Our implementation of the Clean Fuels II solution in Secunda is progressing and well on track to deliver on-specification product in calendar year 2025. A decision on the future of the Natref refinery is still pending. Climate change pressure Energy |

1 2 3 4 5 6 Strategically managing our Group top risks Our Enterprise Risk Management process Our process, principles and practices help us deal with uncertainty by minimising any downside potential and capitalising on the upside potential of those issues that affect our business objectives. Our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process focuses on ensuring the adequacy, appropriateness and effectiveness of our key responses to mitigate potential significant business impacts and ensure that we deliver on our targets. The ERM process is enabled through our risk management fundamentals which direct all risk management behaviours, actions and decisions and are implemented in accordance with our values. Integrated into day-to-day decision-making, these fundamentals provide the foundation of effective risk management. Sasol’s ERM Framework (Framework) has been independently assessed to confirm alignment with various external frameworks, including King IV, ISO31000 2018 and COSO 2017 ERM. In addition, we take care to institute and document regular reviews of the Framework so that it remains in accord with best practices for corporate risk management. The Board’s vision for Sasol’s commitment to risk oversight, ethics and avoiding compliance failures is set out clearly in the Framework and communicated throughout the organisation. Managing our Group risk appetite and tolerance We proactively manage risks within set Group risk appetite and tolerance levels. In the short-to medium-term we anticipate that we will continue to operate with risk appetite metrics outside tolerance levels. We are actively managing exposures related to debt covenant breaches and implementing key responses aimed at deleveraging the balance sheet. Our risk appetite and tolerance metrics: • return on invested capital; • earnings growth; • net debt-to-EBITDA; and • gearing. Our ERM fundamentals Our risk management process is iterative and applied in a dynamic operating context Review of risk metrics considers the changes in: • business conditions; • economic environment; • ESG requirements; • strategic priorities and portfolio; • credible risk scenarios; and • competitive conditions. Sasol ERM practice Directing our behaviours, actions and decisions Business knowledge Accountability more information on the Board-approved responses to assist with mitigation of risks associated with breach of risk appetite and tolerance metrics. We understand our business context so that we proactively identify and analyse relevant uncertain future events. Leadership sets the tone and provides clear direction for effective risk management by risk owners, who in turn are held accountable for managing their risks. Governance and oversight of risk management The Board’s and management’s risk, assurance and reporting responsibilities are informed by our Risk Policy, Board Charter, governance framework and King IV™ requirements. We enhanced governance, in line with Sasol 2.0 transformation programme, through reviewing and updating Board and management Committees’ terms of reference with respect to the governance of risk. We assess and understand the potential impact on our top risks, through materiality lens and managing the impact on our defined Group risk appetite and tolerance levels. We commit to the tone for risk management which is set by the Board and Group Executive Committee (GEC) in accordance with our values. Event-based risk management Assurance GROUP TOP RISKS We review and report on the effectiveness of our risk management practices. We identify and manage uncertain future events that can materially influence the achievement of our strategic and business objectives. We prepare regular assurance reports to mandated governance and oversight structures. We communicate and report significant risks to external stakeholders in accordance with both statutory and non-statutory requirements. Risk-based responsiveness Our key business imperatives, in line with our strategy, guide and inform our top risks. We regularly review our top risks considering our dynamic operating context. We benchmark our top risks against global, industry and peer company risk views. We respond effectively to uncertain future events that can materially influence the achievement of our strategic and business objectives. BUSINESS TOP RISKS We understand our capability to respond to our top risks by identifying and regularly reviewing the appropriateness and efficacy of our key responses.

The Board receives regular assurance on the significant risk areas facing the Group and plays a pivotal role in ensuring appropriate responses to the top risks and current heightened risks facing Sasol. The Board appoints independent advisors, as necessary, to assist with obtaining assurance on select key responses and management actions related to the heightened short-to-medium-term financial and operational risks facing the Group. Applying the ERM process to identify, assess, manage, govern, assure and report our top risks and respond to risks faced in the short, medium and long term 1 2 Define risk appetite and tolerance Embed principles for managing risk appetite and tolerance Monitor application of risk appetite and tolerance Review risk appetite and tolerance metrics Refer to ’Our Group top risks‘ on pages 25 – 26 for Process in managing Group risk appetite and tolerance Risk appetite: Extent and type of risk we are willing to take in order to meet our strategic and capital deployment objectives. Risk tolerance: Level of uncertainty we are prepared to accept. It identifies the maximum boundary, beyond which we are unwilling to operate. In preserving and creating value we proactively manage risks and capitalise on the opportunities in our operating environment, leveraging input from our stakeholders. In 2021 we faced various challenges, including the impact of both COVID-19 and macroeconomic volatility on our business. We worked to mitigate these risks and focused on containing costs, easing pressure on the balance sheet and addressing environmental concerns to reposition the Group for a sustainable future. Changes in our operating context, strategy and operating model necessitated the revision of our Enterprise Risk Management framework, which aims to enhance our ability to respond to longer-term sustainability risks and bolster our resilience. |

Asset impairments related to our Secunda liquid fuels refinery (R24,5 billion), Wax (R7,9 billion) and Chlor Alkali and PVC (R1,1 billion) cash generating units (CGUs) were recognised in FY21. These were mainly due to our stronger outlook on the rand/US dollar exchange rate and lower long-term oil price outlook for the Secunda refinery and higher future feedstock prices for the Chemicals CGUs. Macro-economic volatility presents a significant challenge at period end when performing impairment assessments. The South Africa value chain CGUs impairments were offset by reversals of prior year impairment of R4,9 billion, (US$0,3 billion), relating to the US Ziegler Alcohols, Ethylene Oxide/Ethylene Glycol (EO/EG) CGU and Canadian shale gas assets R521 million, (CAD45 million). Turnover Turnover increased by 6% mainly due to: Higher Brent crude oil prices and a strong recovery in chemical prices. The Energy Business saw a strong recovery in liquid fuels demand following the easing of lockdown restrictions. The Chemicals Business also started to benefit from LCCP, post all units achieving beneficial operation. Sales volumes were negatively impacted by weather events in United States and South Africa with a combined impact of 300kt. |
