The news also follows the resignation of Priscillah Mabelane in March who was Executive Vice President: Energy Business. Sasol has been accused of failing to transition from its dependency on fossil fuel power generation. Civil rights groups, JustShare and the Centre for Environmental Rights, have expressed concern that Sasol has not shown any real signs of decreasing its emissions.
Sasol is on the list of 57 big companies that produced 80% of the world’s CO2emissions from 2016 to 2022, according to a new report from the Carbon Majors database earlier this month. Sasol is ranked at 56. Carbon Majors is a database of historic production data from 122 of the world’s largest oil, gas, coal, and cement producers.
