Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Sasol conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry that it believes was
reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country that shares an internationally
recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “Covered Countries”), for the
period January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. The minerals considered were columbite-tantalite
(source of tantalum), cassiterite (source of tin), gold and wolframite (source of tungsten).

It was determined that certain products manufactured by Sasol Limited and its consolidated
subsidiaries (together, “Sasol”), or which Sasol contracted to be manufactured, contained tin
which are necessary to the functionality or production of such products.
subsidiaries (together, “Sasol”), or which Sasol contracted to be manufactured, contained tin
which are necessary to the functionality or production of such products.
Sasol’s supply chain tiers are far removed from Conflict Minerals mining activities, with no direct
business relationship with any such mines or metal processing facilities. In order to conduct its
reasonable country of origin inquiry, Sasol identified first-tier suppliers that supply Sasol goods
containing Conflict Minerals used in, and necessary to the functionality or production of,
products manufactured by Sasol or products that Sasol contracted to be manufactured. Sasol
obtained written representations from these suppliers as to the country of origin of the Conflict
Minerals which are confirmed to exclude the Covered Countries. All smelters of the Tin used
for the relevant solution within the respective countries were listed in the Conflict Minerals
Reporting Template from the CFSI (Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative). Based on its reasonable
country of origin and confirmation of smelters inquiry, Sasol has determined that it has no reason
to believe that its necessary Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries.
