The selection, preparation and presentation of the selected information in the SR 2023 Sustainability Report and the CCR2023 Climate Change Report in accordance with the below reporting criteria:

PRODUCT MEANT FOR EXTERNAL SALE (KILOTONNE (KT))

DIRECT CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) SCOPE 1 (KILOTONNE (KT))

INDIRECT CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) SCOPE 2 (KILOTONNE (KT))

INDIRECT CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) SCOPE 3 (KILOTONNE (KT))

All products produced by the OME and sold to customers outside of the Sasol Group. Product meant for external sale must be reported by the OME which produces the final saleable product. This is to match inputs with outputs specifically in terms of emissions and to avoid double counting.

Direct CO2 emissions that occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the OME, for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc., emissions from chemical production in owned or controlled process equipment.

Scope 2 indirect emissions are emissions associated with purchased electricity and steam consumed by the company, and excludes other forms of purchased energy. Purchased electricity is defined as electricity that is purchased or otherwise brought into the organisational boundary of the company. Purchased steam is defined as steam that is purchased or otherwise brought into the organisational boundary of the company.

Sasol's indirect greenhouse gas emissions arising from value chain activities other than those already covered in scope 2. Other indirect carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are included on CCR page 32 - 33 and 61 - 63 of the 2023 Climate Change Report and in our CDP submission available at WWW www.sasol.com. Sasol uses the guidance provided under the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain Accounting and Reporting Standard (Scope 3 Standard) and emission factors from external databases, such as the United Kingdom Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), for calculating our scope 3 emissions. Currently only four of the eleven categories that Sasol reports on has been subjected to external assurance with limited assurance given.

The sum of greenhouse gas emissions from methane, nitrous oxides and carbon dioxide (Scope 1 and 2) expressed as CO2 equivalents emitted and reported as CO2e.

The sum of greenhouse gas emissions from methane, nitrous oxides and carbon dioxide (Scope 1) expressed as CO2 equivalence emitted and reported as CO2e.

For the purposes of sustainability reporting, GHG intensity is defined as Total carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) divided by Product meant for external sale.

For the purposes of sustainability reporting for regional views, GHG intensity is defined as Total carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) divided by Total Production.

Methane emitted to atmosphere as a result of the combustion of coal, other fuels to generate electricity, process steam and process heat, as well as the gasification process, mine venting, stock piling and associated chemical transformation processes.

Nitrous oxide emitted to atmosphere as a result of the combustion of coal, gasification, fertilizer production, fuels used for the generation of electricity, process steam and process heat, as well as the associated chemical transformation processes.

Energy use is the sum of all energy consumed. Note: Energy sources include renewable and non-renewable Electricity Purchased, feedstock to electricity, feedstock to steam, diesel mobile, petrol mobile, diesel stationary, petrol stationary, fuel gas, renewable and non-renewable steam purchased and other energy.

The sum of all material used as raw material feedstock input for the manufacture of product. Raw materials include coal, crude oil, direct Nitrogen from air, Oxygen from air, gas and all other raw material feedstock inputs.

The RCR measures the Group RCR performance at an OME and Group level.

The total numbers of hours the employees or service providers have spent in the work environment defined to be Sasol premises where the employee or service provider is potentially exposed to harm, while engaged in work activities.

RELATED ADVOCACY ACTIVITIES

The selection, preparation and presentation of the selected information in the SR 2023 Sustainability Report and the CCR2023 Climate Change Report in accordance with the below reporting criteria:

RECORDABLE CASES

EMPLOYEE AND SERVICE PROVIDER FATALITIES

MAJOR AND SIGNIFICANT FIRES EXPLOSIONS AND RELEASES (FER)

The sum of fatalities, lost workday cases (LWDCs), restricted workday cases (RWDCs) and medical treatment cases (MTCs).

A work-related fatality is an instantaneous work-related event or exposure, leading to death.

Level 1 Incidents: Major - Severity index greater than or equal to 40 or an incident resulting in a fatality or multiple hospitalisations will be elevated to a Major FER. Level 2

Incidents: Significant - Severity index of greater than or equal to 26, but less than 40. Additional criteria, which will elevate an incident to significant: - A Lost Workday Case (LWDC) or a more serious injury or Direct financial loss greater than $25 000. Exceeds the CCPS Tier 1 threshold quantity for a given hazardous chemical classification. Mining as well as buildings (e.g. LPG at Sasol Place) are excluded from the Process Safety KPIs (FERs).

MAJOR AND SIGNIFICANT ROAD PRODUCT TRANSPORT INCIDENTS

Level 1 Incidents: Major - A road transport incident with a severity index greater than or equal to 40; or an incident resulting in a fatality or multiple serious hospitalisations.

Level 2 Incidents: Significant - A Lost Workday Case (LWDC) or a more serious injury; Property, product and/or transportation loss of $50 000 to Sasol or equivalent; Hi-jacking and theft of product greater than the CCPS threshold quantity given in table 6.2 of the Process Safety FER procedure; Any community evacuation or sheltering; Full route closure lasting more than six hours; International and national media and news media releases where Sasol is specifically implicated; A severity index that is more than or equal to 26 , but less than 40.

TOTAL WATER (THOUSAND CUBIC METER)

The sum of water used by the OME from all sources including the following: River water - The volume of water, used by the OME for own consumption withdrawn from a

natural river in terms of a water use licence; Desalinated water - The volume of water, used by an OME for own consumption, which has undergone the process of removing

salt and other minerals from the water purchased from external utility providers; Potable water - The volume of water, used by an OME for own consumption (or supplied to

external stakeholders impacted by Sasol Operations), purchased from external utility providers; and Other water - Water use from places other than defined above.
