About SASOL LTD

Sasol Ltd. is a global energy and chemicals company listed in the United States on the NYSE/NASDAQ via the SSL ADR, making it relevant to U.S. market investors while the group itself has deep historical roots in southern Africa. For French, Belgian and Swiss investors, Sasol should be viewed as an integrated hydrocarbon and petrochemicals platform rather than a pure-play chemical producer. Its model spans upstream feedstock supply, fuels, and a broad portfolio of industrial and specialty chemicals, supported by proprietary technologies and world-scale operating facilities. The company describes itself as a global energy and chemicals company focused on safely and sustainably sourcing, producing and marketing high-quality products.

That industrial heritage remains central to the investment case today: Sasol has structural exposure to feedstock costs, energy prices, refining and petrochemical cycles, and operational reliability across large assets. The group’s headquarters are in Sandton, near Johannesburg, and its operational footprint remains anchored in South Africa, even though it has a meaningful international presence, including in the United States and across Europe, Asia and other regions.

In practical terms, Sasol sells a wide range of products including diesel, petrol, jet fuel, LPG, olefins, polymers, solvents, surfactants, alcohols, monomers, ammonia, methanol, paraffins and bitumen. Its chemicals platform is also structured into customer-oriented divisions such as Advanced Materials, Base Chemicals, Essential Care Chemicals and Performance Solutions, serving markets like consumer care, cleaning, agriculture, construction, automotive, packaging and industrial applications. This diversified mix provides breadth, but also exposes the company to cyclical demand and margin volatility. ([chemicals.sasol.com](https://chemicals.sasol.com/whoweare/ourbusinessdivisions?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, Sasol differentiates itself through integrated value chains, proprietary process technology and a broad global commercial footprint. The company says its chemicals business operates in 17 countries and serves more than 6,500 customers in 118 countries, with particular strength in surfactants and specialty chemical solutions. In the United States, Sasol’s Lake Charles Chemical Complex is strategically important, and the company also maintains a research and development laboratory there. This underlines the importance of North America within the international chemicals portfolio.

In May 2025, Sasol held a Capital Markets Day focused on restoring the Southern Africa value chain, resetting the International Chemicals business, growing and transforming the group, and progressing emissions-reduction commitments. At the same time, the board revised the dividend policy by lowering the debt threshold for sustainable shareholder returns to net debt below US$3 billion excluding leases. In April 2025, Sasol also disclosed the exit from its U.S. Phenolics business as part of asset optimization, while noting operational disruptions in parts of the U.S. chemicals portfolio and ongoing pressure on margins from macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.
