6 Over the last 64 years we have delivered real value through beneficiation 1950 Sasol is formed to commercialise coal-to-liquids (CTL) technology in South Africa 1980 Completion of Sasol Two & Three Synfuels and Chemicals complex in Secunda 2007 First international GTL plant, Oryx, starts production in Qatar 2012 Sasolburg Gas Engine Power Plant online Mozambique gas engine power plant - CTRG 2014

7 Today, our fuels, chemicals and related products benefit millions of people around the world hot-melt adhesives laundry detergents chip coatings printing inks household and industrial paints mobile phone circuit boards transport fuels

8 Through innovative technology and an integrated value chain we beneficiate

9 NDP imperatives Job creation Infrastructure Environmental sustainability Intra-regional trade in Southern Africa Beneficiation of mineral resources and driving opportunities that improve balance of payments Sasol strategy Investing in our South African business to create and retain jobs Investing in infrastructure in and around our facilities Developing low-carbon power generation options and technologies Investing across the region, including in Mozambique Applying technology innovation to beneficiate low value hydrocarbons Our beneficiation strategy Vision 2050 is aligned to the NDP

10 Committed to Southern Africa’s Advancement

11 Sasol continues to invest to ensure further beneficiation- contributing to energy security and reducing the country’s carbon footprint R14bn- South African coal mine replacement programme R1.7bn- Southern African exploration cost for last 3 years Permit to explore for hydrocarbons on South African coast R1.5bn- Sasolburg 140MW-capacity gas engine power plant (enable by Mozambican pipeline bringing gas to South Africa) R2.5bnMozambique 140MW-capacity gas engine power plant R14bn - Secunda growth programme R13bn- Sasolburg expanding hard wax production facilities in. Reducing carbon footprint and supporting regional grid Investing in capacity and growing production Ensuring long-term sustainability Our current package of projects in South Africa – R55bn investment

12 Collaborating for innovation – Partnership with DST Working with the European Framework 7 alternative jet fuel collaboration project; Sasol (Fuels Technology) actively took part in the Alfa Bird programme for a number of years representing Sasol and South Africa. Being the first company in the world to get approval for fully synthetic jet fuel from Secunda as a commercial jet fuel. Sasol undertaking the first flight ever on fully synthetic jet fuel.

13 So what have we learnt? Continuous investment in R&D – leading technology Partnerships – government, technology companies, academic institutions Enabling regulatory framework Capital investment Access to feedstock – upstream (coal, gas, oil) Infrastructure and utilities Significant investment in skills development Energy security Protect balance of payments Job creation
