The redesign of the organisation to enable our sustainability at lower oil prices will have
an impact on our workforce structure. We have accordingly issued a notice to our
representative trade unions in South Africa in terms of section 189 of the Labour
Relations Act number 66 of 1995, inviting them to enter into consultation with Sasol. A
similar process will be followed with the relevant recognised bodies in our other
jurisdictions.
CHANGE IN DIRECTOR’S EXECUTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES AND NEW GROUP
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE STRUCTURES
As a first step towards this long-term trajectory, the new senior leadership end-state
structure will consist of the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and six
Executive Vice President (EVP) portfolios. An additional EVP Sasol 2.0 Transformation
role will be in place for up to 24 months to help execute our restructuring initiative and
mitigate risks to ongoing operations. Changes in the roles of EVPs will be effective from
1 November 2020. This new structure will also increase our gender and diversity
representation at GEC level.
The EVP portfolios will be structured as follows:
· The Energy Business Unit will comprise two EVP portfolios;
o
Priscillah Mabelane, whose appointment we announced on 2 June 2020, will
lead Sasol’s liquid fuels marketing and sales activities, upstream gas,
sourcing and marketing, and supporting functions associated with the Energy
value chain.
o
Bernard Klingenberg will lead operations and technical functions within the
Energy value chain, as well as mining, to ensure continuity in our ability to
deliver across our integrated value chain.
· The Chemicals Business Unit will be led by Brad Griffith. He will be fully accountable
for the full end-to-end chemicals business, from feedstock sourcing through
operations, marketing and sales and associated supporting activities and functions.
The Corporate Centre will be made up of three EVP portfolios:
· Chief Financial Officer, Paul Victor.
· Human Resources and Stakeholder Relations, led by Charlotte Mokoena.
· Strategy, Sustainability and Integrated Services, led by Executive Director Vuyo
Kahla. Corporate portfolio strategy, sustainability, enterprise-wide risk
management as well as enterprise-wide SHE policy and reporting will be added
to his current responsibilities. Supply chain will move from his current portfolio of
responsibilities and form part of the business units.
