SASOL initiatives target young people residing in Sasol’s fenceline communities.
As a responsible corporate citizen, Sasol continues to drive socio-economic programmes by delivering initiatives that increase the skills development pool within the community. These initiatives target young people residing in Sasol’s fenceline communities. One such initiative is Bridge to Work (BtW) which provides training in welding, handyman services, business digital services, and garment making among other skills.
Over and above driving these skills development initiatives, Sasol also works closely with the local government to identify and upgrade water, sewerage, and electricity infrastructure. For instance, in 2023 Sasol partnered with Govan Mbeki Municipality (GMM) and Thungela to upgrade Leandra’s sewerage pump station infrastructure. Sasol is currently undertaking work on a 40-kilometre water pipeline in Bethal which aims to eliminate water leaks and therefore save water as South Africa navigates through its deepening water scarcity challenge.
Sasol also plays a significant role in the delivery of quality education to local communities by providing learning materials to learners in under-resourced schools, donating uniforms, building, or refurbishing classrooms, as well as supporting the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
