Sasol’s Commitment to Sustainability and EUDR Compliance

At Sasol, we prioritize environmental responsibility and sustainability across our supply chain. In line with this commitment, we are actively addressing the requirements of the European Union’s (EU) Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products (EUDR), set to take effect on December 30, 2025.
The EUDR aims to combat deforestation by restricting the importation of products linked to deforestation, including those derived from palm oil. We fully support this critical regulation, recognizing its importance in safeguarding global biodiversity and addressing climate change. Sasol remains dedicated to meeting its provisions and contributing to a more sustainable future.
