SASOL INTEGRATED REPORT 2023 67 INTRODUCTION ABOUT SASOL STRATEGIC OVERVIEW CREATING VALUE PERFORMANCE GOVERNANCE AND REWARDS ADMINISTRATION GOVERNANCE CONTINUED Policy on diversity The Board’s diversity and skills ensure that it guides Sasol to deliver a sustainable organisation. Directors are chosen by the Board with the support of the Nomination and Governance Committee for their corporate leadership skills, experience and expertise. A combination of different business, geographic and academic backgrounds as well as diversity in age, gender and race allow for robust debate and more considered decision-making, supporting the sustainable growth of the business. It is the Board’s policy that broader diversity at Board level is promoted; all facets of diversity are considered in determining the optimal composition of the Board and, where possible, are balanced appropriately. All Board appointments are made on merit, having due regard for the benefits of diversity, which the Board as a whole requires to be effective. Tenure, independence and succession All non-Executive Directors are considered to be independent. The Board has determined that Directors may serve on the Board for up to nine years, extendable annually up to a maximum of 12 years. The Board’s succession plans aim to achieve an optimal balance between independence and continuity on both the Board and its Committees. It is for this reason that the Board extended the terms of Mr S Westwell and Ms NNA Matyumza following a review and confirmation of their independence. Their experience, knowledge and independent judgement continue to benefit the Company. The Nomination and Governance Committee is of the view that no Director is over-committed. The Nomination and Governance Committee considers the other commitments of Directors when they are first appointed, as well as annually, or at any other time when a Director’s circumstances change and warrant re-evaluation. This is done to determine whether a Director has sufficient time to discharge his/hers duties effectively and is free from conflicts that cannot be managed satisfactorily. Should the Nomination and Governance Committee be of the view that a Director is over-committed or has an unmanageable conflict, the Chairman will meet with that Director to discuss the resolution of the matter to the satisfaction of the Committee. Focus areas of the Board and its Committees The Board Charter and the terms of reference of its Committees are reviewed as and when required but at least every second year to ensure they remain relevant and aligned with all relevant regulatory requirements and governance best practices. The Board uses its meetings to discharge its governance and regulatory responsibilities. Its work plan and those of its Committees outline the matters which should be dealt with at meetings and are aligned with the responsibilities and requirements set out in the Board Charter and the terms of reference of its Committees. Matters considered include safety, operational and financial performance, matters of strategy, risk and opportunity, ESG and compliance. The Board has purposefully assumed direct responsibility for the governance of risk. To support the Board in ensuring effective risk management oversight, not only one Committee, but all Board Committees are responsible for ensuring the effective monitoring of risks within the ambit of each Committee’s scope. In monitoring and providing oversight on Sasol’s risks, each Committee will consider potential opportunities as appropriate. There are seven Board meetings a year. The Board also meets twice a year to discuss strategy. For the reporting period, the Board held eight meetings, two strategy meetings and three additional special meetings.

SASOL INTEGRATED REPORT 2023 68 INTRODUCTION ABOUT SASOL STRATEGIC OVERVIEW CREATING VALUE PERFORMANCE GOVERNANCE AND REWARDS ADMINISTRATION Key issues the Board focused on in 2023 and remains invested in going forward Safety of our people Making sure our people return home safely is the top priority of the Board. Fatalities are unacceptable. Significant time is devoted to monitor processes implemented to ensure Zero Harm. Transforming for resilience Resilience, operational stability and performance and cash flow improvement remain essential, especially in view of continued market volatility, geopolitical uncertainty and disruptions, and the deepening global energy crisis. Progressing Sasol 2.0 is a priority. We are also re-focusing on Sasol Mining’s performance and on improving the stability of our South African value chain. Caring for our planet We have invested significant time in implementing our air quality improvement plans, including the development of an integrated air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction solution, and plotting our path to deliver on our GHG emission-reduction targets. It is essential that we align with an integrated just transition programme and incorporate localisation and economic empowerment in our journey. We need to expand our growth opportunities through partnerships and source affordable feedstock; for this we need capital to invest in new technologies and attract suitable talent. Strengthening relationships with stakeholders and regulators Our people are the cornerstone to realising our ambitions, thus capability retention is a key focus area. Strengthening our partnerships and co-developing sustainable solutions with our stakeholders for economic transformation and localisation remain crucial. Delivering on our commitments is essential and we are committed to maintain regular and transparent communication with our stakeholders. GOVERNANCE CONTINUED Board effectiveness Newly appointed Directors are apprised of Sasol’s business and their duties and responsibilities as Directors. Our Directors are also given the opportunity to visit Sasol’s plants and operations. The development of industry and Group knowledge is a continuous process and Directors are briefed on legal developments and changes in the risk and general business environment on an ongoing basis. The Board, its Committees and Directors are entitled to seek independent professional advice concerning the Company’s affairs and to gain access to any information they may require in discharging their duties as Directors. The Board formally evaluates its performance and effectiveness, and that of its Committees, Directors and the Chairman, every second year. A formal evaluation was conducted this year, firstly to assess whether there had been improvement in the areas identified during the evaluation conducted in 2021 and secondly, to identify any further areas to enhance. The Board concluded that it is effective and the Directors are satisfied that the evaluation process is contributing to the improvement of the Board’s performance and effectiveness. Progress was made on the following key considerations identified to be addressed during the previous formal evaluation in 2021: • The quantity and focus of material being provided to the Board and its Committees were reviewed to ensure the material enables constructive dialogue and prioritisation during meetings. The number of meetings has also been increased to ensure that Directors are kept abreast of developments. • Key skills and competencies have been identified that would be required for Future Sasol. The succession plan takes into consideration these required skills and competencies. As a first step, Mr Andreas Schierenbeck has been appointed and we are comfortable that his past experience as a Chief Executive Officer in charge of an energy company’s transition will greatly benefit the Board. • The Board determined that the maximum number of Directors will be 14 for the time being. The ideal size of the Board is an ongoing matter for consideration, especially given the key skillsets and competencies required, the composition of the Committees, as well as international footprint and complexity. • Respect and open and honest discussions enhance trust. Team dynamics and culture remain key focus areas for the Board. A number of engagements took place during the year to strengthen cohesion among Directors and promote engagement with executives. OUR COMBINED ASSURANCE MODEL Management Internal assurance providers External assurance providers INTERNAL CONTROL FRAMEWORK AND ASSESSMENT The Board, with the support of the Audit Committee, is ultimately responsible for Sasol’s system of internal control, designed to identify, evaluate, manage and provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement and loss. We apply a combined assurance model, which seeks to optimise the assurance obtained from management as well as internal and external assurance providers while fostering a strong ethical context and mechanisms to ensure compliance. Through the Risk Policy and strategic intent of risk management approved by the Board, management identifies key risks facing Sasol and implements the necessary internal controls. The process is monitored and evaluated under the direction of internal audit, while external audit teams cover key controls and accounting matters in the course of their audits. Other levels of external assurance are obtained as and when required. The consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the period. However, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective due to the continued existence of the material weakness with respect to the South African Integrated Value Chain impairment process, identified during financial years 2020 and 2021. PEOPLE 1 2 3 4 PLANET PROFIT Some key questions considered to ensure the Board remains effective and adds value included: • What can be done to ensure the success of our current and future leaders? The Board should ensure that there is focus not only on the succession of executives, but the level below them. Our people are the cornerstone to realising the Company’s ambitions. • What are we missing? The Board will continue to focus on the nature and extent of risks faced by the organisation, the impact of these risks on the strategy, performance and sustainability of the Company and the effectiveness of the risk management process. • Are we agile enough and solutions driven? Adaptation of our strategic direction taking into consideration risks, opportunities, market dynamics and performance is crucial to ensure the sustainability of the Company. Another key consideration identified to further enhance the value of the Board going forward was: • Further evolving the Board’s role of overseeing the effective execution of strategy and ensuring that the strategy translates into adding value to shareholders and building a sustainable business. Enhancing data based strategic decision-making and the outside, diverse perspective provided by Directors to add value to management’s integrated thinking is crucial to ensure resilience. AFS Refer to the report from the Audit Committee in the Annual Financial Statements for more information in relation to the material weakness that was identified in financial year 2020.
