Sasol, a technology-driven alternative fuels and chemicals company, was formed in 1950 in Sasolburg and celebrated 60 years of operations in 2010. Today Sasol has grown to become South Africas leading fuel provider and an international player in the energy and chemicals sectors. Sasol converts gas and coal into liquid fuels, fuel components and chemicals through our proprietary Fischer-Tropsch processes. We mine coal in South Africa and produce gas in Mozambique and oil in Gabon, and have chemical manufacturing and marketing operations in South Africa, Europe, Asia and the Americas. In South Africa, we refine imported crude oil and retail liquid fuels through our network of retail convenience centres. We also supply fuels to other distributors in the region and gas to industrial customers in South Africa. We are focused on commercialising our gas-to-liquids (GTL) and coal-to-liquids (CTL) technology internationally. In partnership with Qatar Petroleum we started our first international GTL plant, Oryx GTL, in 2007. Sasol is also exploring GTL opportunities in Uzbekistan and a CTL plant in China. We continue to advance our upstream oil and gas activities in Mozambique, Nigeria, Gabon, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Canada and South Africa. Sasol produces electricity for internal use as well as for sale externally. Sasol operates in 38 countries and employs about 33 000 people. We are listed on the JSE Limited in South Africa and on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States of America (USA).

Gas production
The main Sasol coal-to-liquids (CTL) process at Secunda commences in the multi-unit gasification plant where we convert coal, with the aid of heat, pressure, steam and oxygen, into crude synthesis feed gas (syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide). Once cooled and recovered from the gas stream, the gasification condensates yield the first generation of co-products: tars, oils and pitches, as well as ammonia, sulphur and phenols.
Note: On the following three pages we illustrate Sasol's integrated business model in detail (diagrams 1, 2 and 3 on pages 13, 15 and 16). All diagrams have been colour coded alike to assist in the identification of the various processes and products. Similarly, where appropriate, the content has also been flagged with colour bars which refer back to the diagrams.
Exploration and production Sasol obtains its raw materials through its coal-mining activities, oil and gas exploration, and purchases from the open market. Some raw materials are sold directly to external markets.

Chemical products
Chemical intermediates from the FT process are separated, purified and, together with conventional chemical raw materials, converted into a range of final products such as polymers, solvents, olefins and surfactants and waxes.
section
Through proprietary Sasol technology, we recover and purify three alpha olefins from the oil stream (comprising a broad slate of hydrocarbons with carbon numbers ranging from C4 to C20) from the SAS reactors: 1-pentene, 1-hexene and 1-octene. Some international customers use the hexene and octene as co-monomers for making speciality grades of polymers, while a few customers use the smaller quantities of pentene mostly as feedstock for producing certain agrochemicals. We purify the SAS oxygenates in our chemical workup plant to produce alcohols, acetic acid, ketones and ethyl acetate, all of which are solvents. On behalf of Sasol Olefins & Surfactants, Sasol Solvents also converts some of our higher alpha olefins (C11-C12) into Safol detergent-range alcohols.
Oil refining Our joint-venture Natref oil refinery at Sasolburg uses conventional refinery processing units to convert imported crude oil into petrol, diesel, jet fuel and illuminating paraffin, as well as ethylene and propylene feedstock, fuel oil, bitumen and sulphur.

In 2007, operations began at our Oryx GTL joint venture with Qatar Petroleum. Today, it is the worlds largest operating commercial-scale GTL facility. Oryx GTL is recording exceptional performance, at times in excess of 35 000 b/d produced. Marketed mostly as a blend stock in Europe and Asia, Oryx GTL diesel has notably superior properties. Recent technology developments in the cost-effective extraction of shale gas and resulting lower gas prices present an opportunity for expansion of our GTL facilities. Following agreements with Talisman to acquire a 50% stake in their Farrell Creek and Cypress A shale gas assets respectively, we have embarked on a joint feasibility study with Talisman to look at the potential for a GTL facility in Canada. In Nigeria, the development of the Escravos GTL plant is advancing, in partnership with Chevron and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Completion of the project is due in 2013. A feasibility study is under way to establish a GTL plant in Uzbekistan, in partnership with Petronas and Uzbekneftegaz, with an estimated capacity of 1,5 million tons of GTL product a year.
SSI is progressing well with its plans to develop Sasols first CTL plant outside South Africa. In China, the feasibility study for a plant at the Ningdong Energy and Chemicals base has been completed, with encouraging results. The project will be undertaken with Sasols partner in China, the Shenhua Ningxia Coal Group, and we await the Chinese Governments approval for the project to go ahead. Sasol is conducting a pre-feasibility study into a CTL facility in India. The Indian government has awarded the SSI and Tata Group joint venture long-term access to the Talcher coalfield in Orissa.
Some of the leading car manufacturers are investigating the potential of using more efficient homogenous charge compression ignition in their new-generation engines and we believe our Fischer-Tropsch fuels will support the technology.

Appraisal drilling in the Inhassoro field if part of the 2010/2011 Mozambique well campaign and if successful will be followed by en Extended Well Test to establish the economic viability of a liquids (light oil/condensate) development project. This project could also improve the viability of a potential LPG project. In November, 2009 SPI acquired two offshore licenses in Mozambique, 100% of the Sofala Block and a 50% equal share with Petronas in Block M-10. ENH has now been assigned a 15% carried interest in both the M-10 and Sofala concessions. Potential success in either of these two new concessions would possibly allow for this entire area, including the Njika discoveries in EPC Blocks 16 and 19, to be developed further. On 21 September 2010, the Exploration and Production Concession Contract (EPCC) for the on-shore block Area A was signed by the Mozambique Ministry of Mineral Resources and the concessionaires SPI (90%) and ENH (10%).
8 In Gabon, SPI has 27,75% equity in the Etame Marin permit, operated by Vaalco Energy. Gross oil production of about 22 000 b/d is realised from the Etame, Ebouri and Avouma oil fields.
The CA$1 025 million (R6 950 million) acquisitions include 51 000 acres of land with an estimated contingent resource of 9,6 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas. Talisman Energy retain the remaining 50% interest and continue as operator of the Farrell Creek assets, that include gas gathering systems and processing facilities. On 8 March 2011, SPI exercised an option and signed a letter of agreement with Talisman to acquire a 50% stake in their Cypress A shale gas asset. This CA$1 050 million (R7 413 million) acquisition is also located in the Montney Basin and offers particularly thick productive shale formations. The transaction covers over 57 000 acres of land with an estimated contingent resource of 11.2 TCF.
chemical cluster
48-62
The chemical cluster represents another important part of the Sasol portfolio, in addition to the businesses in the South African and international energy clusters. In South Africa, the chemical businesses are closely integrated in the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) value chain and produce a wide range of chemical products as co-products of this process. Outside South Africa we operate related chemical businesses. The chemical cluster supplements our CTL and GTL growth through three growth areas FT, cracker and syngas platforms. The most common products produced by companies in the chemical cluster are polymers, monomers, waxes, fertilisers, mining chemicals, explosives, alcohols, linear alkylbenzene, surfactants, inorganic specialities, speciality gases and phenolics.
sasol oil
39
Sasol Oil markets fuels blended at Secunda and refined through its 63,6% share in Natref oil refinery at Sasolburg. Products include petrol, diesel, jet fuel, illuminating paraffin, liquefied petroleum gas, fuel-oils, bitumen and lubricants. It imports fuels to balance its product slate and meet contractual commitments. Sasol Oil operates 418 Sasol- and Exel-branded retail convenience centres in South Africa and exports fuels to Southern Africa. In 2010 we continued to upgrade Natref and improve its stability. Throughput has increased since revamping the existing diesel unifiner, which was completed in April 2010. We also commenced construction of a pipeline between Sasol Oil facilities at Secunda and Natref at Sasolburg.
The petrol retail price is regulated by the government and changed every month on the first Wednesday of the month. The price is calculated by the Central Energy Fund (CEF) on behalf of the Department of Mineral Resources. The petrol pump price is composed of a number of price elements that can be divided into international and domestic elements. The international element, or Basic Fuel Price (BFP), is based on what it would cost a South African importer to buy petrol from an international refinery and to transport the product to South Africa.

Sasol Gas transmits, distributes, and trades in natural gas from Mozambique and methane-rich gas (MRG) produced by Sasol Synfuels at Secunda. It delivers gas through approximately 2 000 kilometres of pipeline to about 550 individual and commercial customers in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal. In KwaZuluNatal it also supplies gas to Spring Lights Gas, its empowerment initiative with Coal Energy & Power Resources. At Sasolburg, natural gas is sold to Sasol Chemical Industries, which reforms natural gas into syngas for producing waxes, ammonia, solvents and other chemicals. At Secunda, Sasol Synfuels uses natural gas as a complementary feedstock to coal for producing synthetic fuels, MRG and chemicals. Sasol commenced natural gas production in the onshore Temane field in Mozambique in 2004. Through its partnerships, Sasol Petroleum Temane (SPT), a subsidiary of Sasol Petroleum International, established
production wells in the Temane field, where it produces and cleans natural gas, and maintains an exploration programme. In 2009, SPT and its partners brought several wells into production at the Pande gas field. The gas is processed and compressed at the Temane central processing facility (CPF) and the pipeline is operated by the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Investment Company (Rompco), which is 50% owned by Sasol Gas, 25% by iGas and 25% by Companhia Moambicana de Gasoduto. During 2010, construction on a new compressor station was completed at Komatipoort on the border between South Africa and Mozambique. The new station increases by around a fifth the capacity for natural gas deliveries along the 865 kilometre pipeline and has achieved beneficial operation. Able to deliver 20% more natural gas from Mozambique, it will ensure a sustainable future supply.
cutting-edge technology
64
Since 1950, when we developed our unique blend of coal gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology, Sasol Technology has played a pivotal role in the groups growth agenda. Focused research and development during the 1980s and 1990s led to the development of the low-temperature Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate process used at Sasolburg, and the hightemperature Sasol Advanced Synthol process used at Secunda. The success of these technologies is evident in their continued application in the Sasol Wax capacity expansion in Sasolburg, as well as in the provision of the 10th SAS reactor for Secunda, both of which are currently in construction. The development of the US shale gas industry in recent years is providing exciting opportunities for the application of Sasols proprietary Slurry Phase Distillate gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. The success of the groups Oryx GTL joint venture in Qatar underpins our international prospects and our experience in Qatar will be applied to other GTL facilities, including Escravos in Nigeria and possibly Uzbekistan. Sasol Technologys FT design reactor and catalyst-testing reactor pilot plants are key to our efforts to develop new, more efficient CTL and GTL operations. These Sasolburg facilities, which became fully operational in 2010, are making major contributions to improving catalyst performance and driving the intensification of the reactor and process designs. We have developed various processes for recovering and purifying solvents, waxes and phenolics for the world market, as well as 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene and higher alpha olefins. The higher alpha olefins are converted into detergent-range alcohols.
section
In 2010, we successfully started up a second methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK) plant for Sasol Solvents in Sasolburg which was quickly ramped to full capacity. This plant is based on a significantly optimised flowsheet developed by Sasol Technology R&D. Good progress has been achieved with Sasols unique ethylene tetramerisation technology to convert ethylene into 1-octene. We have completed the basic design activities for a commercial facility at the Sasol Olefins & Surfactants site in Louisiana, USA, based on our first generation technology. We continue to improve both the catalyst systems and process configuration with a view to optimising the process and commercialising a next-generation technology. Sasol Mining has developed or co-developed high-extraction mining methods, advanced directional drilling techniques, roof-bolting systems, continuous-miner systems and a virtual-reality training system for continuous-miner operators, among other performanceenhancing innovations. Sasol continues to invest an amount of about R250 million (US$33 million) over a 10-year period to build research capacity at South African tertiary institutions. Research collaborations in South Africa are complemented with selected international research programmes, which include work undertaken at Sasols facilities at the University of St Andrews in the UK and in The Netherlands.
As part of our commitment to gender diversity, we are involved in programmes to encourage young woman to enter the fields of engineering and science.

Since then, we have seen our share price reach a maximum of US$66,09 from a US$10,30 low. American and Canadian shareholders held about 17% of Sasols shares at 30 June 2010. On a five-year moving average basis, we have sustained our compound earnings growth rate at 11,3% in rand terms. On a three-year moving average basis, we have maintained our compound earnings growth above 10% in US dollar terms. On 30 June 2010, our most recent financial year end, Sasol had about 67 885 beneficial shareholders and 639,3 million Sasol ordinary shares in issue.

Overview
Earnings attributable to shareholders for the six months ended 31 December 2010 increased by 21% to R7,6 billion (US$1,1 billion) from R6,3 billion (US$0,8 billion) in the prior year while headline earnings per share and earnings per share increased by 22% to R12,97 (US$1,82) and by 20% to R12,68 (US$1,78), respectively, over the same period. Operating profit of R12,0 billion (US$1,7 billion) increased by 15% compared with the prior year. Operating profit was positively impacted by higher average crude oil prices (average dated Brent was US$81,68/barrel in 2010 compared with US$71,42/barrel in 2009) and chemical product prices. However, a 7% stronger average rand/US dollar exchange rate (R7,11/US$ in 2010 compared with R7,64/US$ in 2009) partially offset the benefits of the higher average crude oil prices. Overall, group production volumes declined by 4% from the prior year primarily due to Sasol Synfuels major planned outage. The majority of our other businesses, however, reflected improved volumes. Cash fixed costs were down in real terms through our continued focus on cost containment. The operating profit in the current period was negatively impacted by once-off charges compared with the prior year. These once-off charges include competition related administrative penalties of R112 million (US$17 million), the Escravos gas-to-liquids (EGTL) partial impairment of R123 million (US$19 million) and the Ixia Coal BEE transaction share-based payment expense of R565 million (US$85 million). The current period also includes a Sasol Inzalo BEE share-based payment expense of R432 million (US$61 million) compared with R400 million (US$52 million) in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 36,0% to 33,7% resulted due to decreases in foreign tax rates, partly offset by competition related

administrative penalties and share-based payment expenses compared with the prior year, both of which are not deductible for tax purposes. Cash flow generated by operating activities was R15,1 billion (US$2,3 billion) compared with R9,2 billion (US$1,2 billion) in the prior year. This was mainly due to increased operating profits and reduced working capital, both as a result of price and volume effects. Progress was made on the groups pipeline of growth projects, resulting in capital expenditure of R9,2 billion (US$1,4 billion) for the period.
In July 2010, we concluded an agreement with Gassnova SF, a Norwegian state-owned enterprise responsible for managing carbon capture and storage (CCS). This agreement allows us to participate in the European CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad, currently under construction in Norway. In September 2010, we concluded the Ixia Coal transaction in line with Sasol Minings empowerment strategy and its commitment to comply with the objectives of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act as well as the Mining Charter. This transaction results in Ixia Coal Funding (Pty) Limited, a subsidiary of Ixia Coal (Pty) Limited, acquiring a 20% shareholding in Sasol Mining for a purchase consideration of R1,8 billion. The recordable case rate for employees and service providers, including injuries and illnesses, improved by 8% from 0,51 at 30 June 2010 to 0,47 at 31 December 2010. However, we have had too many tragic incidents and a new and substantial safety improvement plan is currently being implemented. In February 2011, we listed the Sasol BEE ordinary shares on the JSE Limiteds main board. This trading facility provides many Sasol Inzalo shareholders access to a regulated market in line with our commitment to broad-based shareholder development.
In December 2010, Sasol signed an agreement with Talisman Energy Inc. (Talisman), a Canadian-based company, to acquire a 50% stake in their Farrell Creek shale gas assets located in the Montney Basin of British Columbia, for an amount of R7,1 billion (US$1,1 billion). Talisman will retain the remaining 50% interest and continue as operator of the Farrell Creek assets which cover over 51 000 acres of land and which also include associated gas gathering systems and processing facilities. In December 2009, the Project Application Report for the China coal-to-liquids (CTL) plant was submitted to the Chinese Government for approval. Pending the outcome of this decision, all further project activities have been delayed. The feasibility study for the Uzbekistan GTL plant is continuing and is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of the 2011 financial year. The pre-feasibility study in respect of our Indian CTL project is in its final stages. Sasol Solvents will begin construction of the worlds first commercial ethylene tetramerisation unit at the Sasol O&S, Lake Charles production site in the United States. The planned capacity for this facility is 100 000 tons per annum of combined 1-octene and 1-hexene which are co-monomers used in the plastics industry. Construction is expected to begin in the 2011 calendar year, with beneficial operation expected by the middle of the 2013 calendar year. Construction on the expansion of the wax production facility in Sasolburg, South Africa, is progressing according to plan.

At the end of 2010, Sasol had at total of 33 399 employees in our global operations, with net employment creation at 939 (excluding joint ventures). Our human resources strategy focuses on the sourcing of key skills, promoting long-term talent and career development, ensuring competitive rewards, and fostering sound employee relations and cultural transformation.
Substantial resources are devoted to training and mentoring our staff, and we have re-evaluated our development programmes to focus on career development plans, bursary schemes, our accelerated leadership programme and rotation schemes. Being an employer of choice is a priority and we strive to offer competitive remuneration, create safe and rewarding workplaces and promote positive corporate values. We continuously benchmark against global and local trends in human resources and labour relations, ensuring that our global human resources policies and practices are compliant with prevailing legislation and international best practice. More than 60% of Sasol employees are members of trade unions and are covered by collective agreements and works council agreements. Based at Sasol Group Services at our Johannesburg head office, group human resources function comprises communities of experts, while our major businesses employ dedicated human resources managers and related functional specialists.

In addition to actively striving to reflect the economically active population of South Africa in our workforce profile at all levels, we are also embarking on a global diversity journey. Diversity forums, set up in our various business units, constantly strive to create co-ownership in the achievement of our diversity aspirations. In 2009, we launched a disability equity awareness campaign in our South African operations, with the aim of informing employees of their rights as members of this designated group and to encourage them to voluntarily declare their disabilities. The infrastructure to allow people with disabilities to voluntarily declare their status has been developed. We strive to apply affirmative action measures to ensure that people with disabilities are afforded reasonable accommodation, if and where appropriate. Also, in the interest of increasing diversity, we have developed guidelines for women advancement and representation at all management levels.
Our Women in Leadership programme has since 2007 been helping women in junior and middle management to assume more senior management positions. Committed to facilitating social and economic development and transformation in South Africa, we award more than 50% of our university bursaries to black all inclusive students. On the labour relations front, more than 60% of our South African employees are members of recognised trade unions. Worldwide, we are a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact. We strive to uphold world-class standards in all areas of employee relations, trade union recognition and human rights.

Leadership effectiveness
Investing in the holistic advancement of our people is considered a business imperative. During the year, good progress was made in introducing initiatives to enhance our leadership effectiveness, improve talent management and enhance our employee value proposition. Sasol requires managers who can work in complex, multi-cultural situations; leaders who can manage the balance between delivering for today and investing for tomorrow. We place a high value on leadership development and offer programmes aimed at developing the skills and knowledge of managers and leaders at different stages of their careers. We provide a full range of leadership and management development initiatives appropriate to the groups strategic objectives. The company develops frontline leaders through focused personal development initiatives. Coaching and mentoring programmes are under way to deepen the succession pool and ensure the transfer of institutional knowledge. These leadership initiatives are the meeting ground for the identified future talent of our business. It is critical to ensure an effective leadership development process and to carefully manage succession planning.

Global learning
Sasol has established a global learning fraternity that is comparable with world best practice with regard to cost and ratios. The sustainable standardised new way of work enables us to enhance learning delivery as well as doing more with less. Our learning strategy endorses a lifelong learning culture through a standardised curriculum in an application-conducive environment, resulting in sustainable, competent and capable talent. The global venture support initiative ensures access to experienced people to meet our growth ambitions. The pool of skilled individuals developed through this initiative is exposed to shutdowns, commissioning and startup of new plants, with the objective of ensuring a well-balanced workforce ready for a variety of tasks in new ventures. To prepare for international growth, and to promote job creation in the countries in which we operate, experienced individuals are being brought to South Africa to receive training on critical aspects of our operations, as well as being exposed to the Sasol culture.

the technical skills business partnership learner artisan pool established to build skills for the growth of South Africa.
There are 548 learner maintenance artisans in the Sasol learner artisan pool, 195 learner process artisans and 35 learner miners. The approved funding for the OG&CM project (R140 million (US$18 million) from Sasol and R32 million (US$4 million) from the Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority) has been fully committed and the project is winding down. By April 2010, 701 learners had qualified as artisans at National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Level 4. A further 417 who are still in the system will be afforded the opportunity to complete NQF Level 4. The last OGSCM learners will exit the system in April 2011.
Learnerships
Sasol has three distinct learner artisan pools namely:
the Sasol learner artisan pool to supply artisans for Sasols own future needs; the oil, gas & chemical manufacturing (OG&CM) learner artisan pools, created to build a national pool of competent artisans for industry maintenance shutdowns and major capital projects;
There were 778 employees in Sasols learner artisan pools. 417 learner artisans were trained as part of Sasols oil, gas and electrical manufacturing project. There were 271 learners in the external Technical Skills Business Partnership. 700 positions were created in the global venture support programme. We invested R25 million (US$3 milion) in South African universities. The number of employees receiving leadership training was 9 785.
We maintain strategic alliances with tertiary-level centres of excellence such as the Gordon Institute of Business Science in Johannesburg, the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein and the University of Stellenbosch near Cape Town. During the 2009 financial year, 9 785 employees attended leadership development courses at a cost of R101 million (US$11 million). Sasol Technology R&D has invested significantly in various South African universities to address concerns regarding the availability of highly skilled technical resources at these institutions particularly within the chemistry and chemical engineering disciplines and to improve the quality of equipment and facilities in these departments. This year, the fifth year of a 10-year R250 million (US$33 million) investment programme, R25 million (US$3 million) was awarded to South African universities to enable research capacity-building in science and engineering, fund strategic investment in equipment, and promote the development of young academics with a particular focus on diversity. In addition, we invested R81 million (US$11 million) in universities globally aimed at research, with an additional R2,3 million (US$0,3 million) spent on energy-related research in South Africa in collaboration with Eskom.

bursaries programme
Corporate graduate services
With the scarcity of talent in South Africa and globally it is essential for Sasol to ensure continuous availability of skills to sustain our growth. The Sasol bursary scheme is a critical talent lever to enable us to meet our strategic and transformation objectives. The bursary scheme is a talent-based scheme, not a social investment initiative, focused on critical skills as defined by the business. In 2010, the bursary department (CGS) handled a total of 14 125 applications for new bursars, of which 6 570 met the set minimum criteria. A total of 456 were interviewed, resulting in the awarding of 101 bursaries. CGS administrated a total of 1 154 undergraduate bursars, 36 technikon bursars and 156 postgraduate bursars across the country. Due to a paucity of skills, CGS for the first time ventured over international borders and successfully recruited students in Mozambique. The costs covered by the scheme include 100% tuition fees, set cost for meal and residence at the respective universities, PC allowance, and calculator allowance. In 2010, the Sasol bursary scheme invested R51 million (US$7 million) in direct cost and reached more than 6 360 students via school visits. There were 11 campus visits and 90 new bursars were introduced while workshops were presented to over 800 students. A total of 107 graduates were placed in various Sasol business units.

Investing in our communities
The vision of Sasols corporate social investment (CSI) programme is to promote people-centred, needs-driven and sustainable development of communities. Our community engagement focuses on strengthening the ability of communities to thrive, by supporting civil society, government and private sector role players in plans to stimulate growth, strengthen development and foster dignity. Many of the communities we operate in have multiple social and development challenges and require expert and long-term support to address the impacts of intergenerational poverty. It demands a commitment beyond financial assistance. We have invested in creating value for communities through supporting strategic economic drivers, skills and capacity development and by involving communities more in our value chain. Employees are encouraged to be involved in the development of communities through the Sasol Making a Difference (MAD) programme. Central to our community engagement strategy are the following principles: We have channelled the majority of our social investments into five priority areas:
Education, with a particular focus on science and technology (50%); Job creation, by investing in initiatives that promote the sustainable creation of employment, particularly for unskilled or marginalised groups such as women and youth (20%); Health and welfare, with a priority emphasis on key social challenges such as HIV/Aids (20%); Arts, culture and sport development with a particular emphasis on identifying opportunities for uplifting the quality of life of communities (5%); and The environment, by supporting specific conservation projects, as well as education and capacity building initiatives (5%).
Community involvement and ownership; Strengthening community leadership; Targeted impacts-driven interventions; Addressing key community priorities
Strategic research-informed interventions; Monitoring and evaluation; and Building capacity through partnership.
All CSI projects are subjected to a thorough assessment of the extent to which they meet certain criteria. During 2010, we committed R80,5 million (US$10 million) (excluding bursaries) to socioeconomic development projects. We also committed R45 million (US$6 million) to bursaries. While most of our social investments are undertaken in Southern Africa, community-based initiatives are undertaken by our USA and European operations, according to the particular needs and opportunities in their communities.
26
To help secure the required talent within the organisation, Sasol will continue to invest in the attraction of young talent through its sought-after bursary scheme that is largely focused in science and technology disciplines.
Job creation
In addressing large-scale poverty our vision is to enable more marginalised people to enter the economy. Through the CSI responses we promote social entrepreneurship, mentoring and skills development for women and youth in rural communities, many of whom have limited literacy and no prior formal training.
Promoting a culture of curiosity and innovation to demystify science and mathematics; Educator development: the provision of formal training and mentorship; Supporting learners and educators with extra tuition and interactive learning opportunities;
Infrastructure provision from basic materials to classrooms in select rural communities; and Research to support the improvement of literacy, science and mathematics education.
Sasol has a proud tradition of assisting the visual, performing and creative arts. Our support for projects such as the Black Tie Ensembles Incubator Programme; the South African National Youth Orchestras Development Programme and the Sasol Schools Festival helps talented individuals to reach their full potential. We are targeting both sport and life skills development by hosting running sports clinics in the community Sports development programmes also include the upgrade and maintenance of sporting facilities in our primary communities and therefore play a key role in creating growth opportunities for those local economies. These communities are now able to host national and international fixtures, bringing them revenue as well as fun.

Through our CSI programmes we aim to support our business objective of reducing our carbon footprint, through community investment programmes:
Increasing the awareness of environmental issues in communities through education programmes; Appropriate community greening; Increasing access to safe water in a cost-efficient and sustainable manner; Promoting waste reduction and recycling; Conservation; Increasing energy efficiency by supplying renewable or greener energy, eg, solar panels for day-care centres and residential care centres.
The sponsoring of fellowships for science and engineering graduates for studies towards a higher degree in education; Saturday school in partnership with SciBono Science Centre; A bursary programme which includes academic and psychosocial support, as well as peer mentoring and coaching; and Principals development, enabling school heads to enrol for an Advanced Certificate in Education.
sponsorships
Sasol invests in a number of sponsorships with an emphasis on sport, arts and culture, science and technology and the environment. Since 2009 we have been the sponsor of the South African national womens football team, Banyana Banyana, as well as the Sasol League, a provincial womens football league. In 2009, we renewed our sponsorship with SASCOC to co-sponsor the South African Paralympics team, and continue to support wheelchair basketball and motor sport, including the annual Sasol Rally in Mpumalanga. At the end of 2010, Sasols six-year sponsorship of the Springboks came to an end. During the Sasol Springbok tenure the national rugby team played 85 matches. In that time, they won 55 matches, lost 29 and drew one for a win ratio of 64,7%. During this period they won the 2007 World Cup, the Tri Nations, the Laureus World Team of the Year in 2008, and the IRB World sevens series title, also attaining the IRB number one ranking. In art, we sponsor the Sasol New Signatures art competition and in music, the Black Tie Ensemble and the South African National Youth Orchestra. An annual highlight is the Techno X festival of science, engineering and technology held in Sasolburg. Sasol also sponsors conservation programmes aimed at securing the survival of vultures, ground hornbills and wild dog populations in Southern Africa. We have provided funding for the publication of numerous natural history books including the best-selling Sasol Birds of Southern Africa field guide. This support also extends to the provision of bird hides, birding events in national parks and the popular annual Sasol Birds and Birding Fair at the Johannesburg Zoo.

creating value through sustainable development
Many companies have traditionally seen sustainable development challenges in the context of compliance and risk management. As the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has highlighted, these elements are certainly important. If they are not appropriately addressed, they can have a profound impact on a companys long-term value and reputation. However, in addition to encouraging the protection of value, Sasol believes that sustainable development is also about creating value. The societal and environmental challenges the world currently faces present business with some exciting opportunities. Our investment in the Sasol New Energy business unit reflects the belief that there are valuable commercial gains from moving to low carbon emissions. For us, managing sustainable development challenges is integral to the achievement of Sasols strategic business objectives. A detailed review of our sustainability performance can be found in our separate 2010 sustainable development report, available online at www.sasolsdr.com. It focuses on our most material sustainability challenges, notably climate change, safety, skills development, black economic empowerment and water.

For reporting purposes we include 100% of the GHG emissions of joint ventures over which we have operational control, even though we may only have part ownership of the joint venture. *** The dened chemicals are benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, 1,3-butadiene and acetaldehyde emitted from major pollutant sources in Sasol. Meeting this target relies on VOC reduction projects to be successfully executed, resulting in an anticipated reduction of 36 000 tons per annum by 2020. The rst material reduction of these species is only expected in 2011 with the commissioning of the rst series of mitigation technologies.

Coal is an important part of the worlds energy mix, and Sasol continues to produce transportation fuels and other products from coal and gas. However, we are committed to substantially reducing our carbon emissions by, among others, developing more efficient production processes, increasing our use of renewable energy and investigating carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions. Our newest business unit, Sasol New Energy (SNE), was created to explore new and viable technologies that can be integrated into our core processes to reduce GHG emissions and meet our long-term targets. In particular, SNE is exploring renewable and lower-carbon energy options such as solar, biofuels and biomass, as well as nuclear, hydro and natural gas. The unit started work in earnest in 2010. Highlights of the year include:
Commissioning gas turbines to produce electricity from natural gas which results in 60% lower carbon dioxide emissions; Investigating the feasibility of producing additional power from natural gas; Studying several opportunities for producing electricity from renewable sources, including investing in the development of thin-film photovoltaic technology that uses solar power; and Acquiring a share in a demonstration facility in Norway exploring large-scale carbon capture technology.
Restructuring our sustainable development report to make it more accessible and better referenced; Starting to focus more strongly on engaging our employees; Providing more information on Sasols growth strategy in our sustainable development report and more clearly demonstrating how sustainability contributes towards achieving this strategy; Restructuring our annual report so that sustainable development issues are better integrated; and Providing some performance data at the level of individual operations rather than aggregating it across the group as a whole.
We are well on track to meet our target of improving the energy efficiency of our South African utility facilities by 15% per unit of production by 2015 (compared with a baseline set in 2000).

section
Cracker: A chemical reaction vessel used for decomposing (cracking) petrochemical compounds such as naphtha, liquefied petroleum gas or waxes. Ethylene: A colourless, flammable, hydrocarbon gas used principally by Sasol as feedstock for producing polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. Gas-to-liquids (GTL): A petrochemical term referring to an integrated process technology or production plant for converting a hydrocarbon feedstock gas (usually natural gas or methane) into liquid hydrocarbons such as diesel, kerosene and naphtha. Gasification: The conversion of coal in a gasifier into gases and co-products under high temperature and pressure in the presence of steam and oxygen. The purified gases and co-products are converted downstream into liquid fuels and chemical feedstock. Hexene (1-hexene): A straight-chain C6 hydrocarbon molecule that contains a single, terminal double-bond between atoms. Customers use it mostly as a co-monomer for enhancing certain characteristics of polyethylene. Ketones: Hydrocarbon compounds containing a carbonyl group (-CO-) in the molecule attached to two hydrocarbon radicals. Ketones include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone. Customers use our ketones mostly as solvents and chemical feedstock.
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG): Petroleum gases such as propane, butane and pentane pressurised in liquefied form and used for heating applications such as camping stoves and lighters. Methanol: A toxic, colourless alcohol used as an important intermediate chemical and a versatile solvent. Monomer: A chemical such as ethylene or propylene capable of being converted into a long-chain polymer or a synthetic resin by combining with itself or other similar molecules or compounds. Naphtha: A generic term for a mixture of flammable, light distillate hydrocarbons used for producing petrochemicals downstream. In the case of Sasols GTL process, GTL naphtha is used as feedstock for ethylene cracking. Natural gas (gas): A mixture of hydrocarbon gases in the Earths crust containing methane, as well as ethane, propane, butane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and sulphur compounds. Octene (1-octene): A straight-chain C8 hydrocarbon molecule that contains a single, terminal double-bond between atoms. It is used mostly as a co-monomer for producing certain plastics. Pentene (1-pentene): A straight-chain C5 hydrocarbon molecule that contains a single, terminal double-bond between atoms. It is used for producing certain plastics and agrochemicals.
Polyethylene: A common plastic comprising long-chain ethylene molecules. Our customers use polyethylene to produce boutique shopping bags, food-wrap films and other packaging materials, pipe, moulded fittings, and wire and cable sheaths, among other products. Polymer: A compound whose molecule is formed from a large number of repeated units of one or more compounds of low molecular weight (monomers). Synthetic polymers are used extensively in plastics. Polymers do not have a definite formula because they consist of many chains of different lengths. Polypropylene: A notably versatile plastic derived from the polymerisation of propylene. Our customers use polypropylene for making automotive components, furniture, self-hinged containers, medical equipment, carpet backings and woven bags, among other products. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): A tough, white, solid thermoplastic that can be softened with plasticisers. Sasol produces PVC by polymerising vinyl chloride monomer derived from ethylene and chlorine. Our customers use PVC for sheathing cables, moulding footwear and moulding bottles and other packaging forms. Propanol: A colourless and volatile alcohol existing in two isomers (iso-propanol and normal-propanol) used as a solvent and to prepare esters such as propyl acetate.
Propylene: A colourless, gaseous hydrocarbon obtained from petroleum by cracking alkanes, among other petrochemical processes. In the case of our Secunda operations, we produce propylene as a co-product of the Sasol Advanced Synthol process before we convert it downstream into polypropylene and butanol. Reforming: A broad petrochemical process used to change feed molecules in some radical form. For example, naphtha reforming creates high-octane petrol components from low-value naphtha. Reforming also refers to the process of converting methane or natural gas into synthesis gas. Sasol Advanced Synthol (SAS) reactor: The proprietary Sasol reactor at the heart of the SAS process, the high-temperature version of Sasols Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process used at Secunda, to produce a synthetic form of crude oil and chemical feedstock. Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate (Sasol SPD) process: A proprietary version of Sasols low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process, used with an advanced iron or cobalt catalyst, to convert synthesis gas into waxes and related petrochemical streams for producing and marketing waxes and/or diesel. Solvent: A liquid that dissolves other substances to form a solution.
Synthesis: The formation of more complex chemical compounds or molecules from simpler compounds or molecules, as in the FischerTropsch process. Synthesis gas (syngas): A mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen used to produce liquid fuels and chemicals in downstream processes. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Hydrocarbon compounds, including industrial alcohols, ketones and other solvents, that evaporate rapidly and easily at ambient temperature when exposed to the air and which are, or can be, harmful to human health due to overexposure or misuse. Wax: A long-chain paraffinic compound, liquid or solid, with many applications, including hot-melt adhesives, mould-release agents, printing inks, cosmetics, board coatings, polishes, candles, and bitumen additives for road building.
