In 2025, the largest contributors to Sasol's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Sasol reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 49,415,880 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 14,074 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 3,511.12 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Sasol reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 3,511.12 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 48.16, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Sasol ranked 26 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Sasol among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2025, Sasol reported a total carbon footprint of 91,504,584 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 4.57% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Sasol's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 54% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 39.57%.a
