Competition law compliance review
The following statement was made by the Company at the annual
general meeting:
During the course of the past year the Company has made several
announcements with respect to competition law matters including
the review of Sasol and its subsidiaries’ (“the Sasol Group”)
competition law compliance.
The board of directors of Sasol (“the Board”) regrets instances
of collusion that occurred in the Sasol Wax GmbH and Sasol Nitro
businesses and endorses executive management's unequivocal
apology to all stakeholders. Legal compliance in general and
competition law compliance specifically remain a priority focus
area of Sasol’s executive management and the Board.
Sasol announced on 19 January 2009 that Sasol’s executive
management team had, in July 2008, launched a comprehensive
competition law compliance review of all Sasol business units.
It was further announced that the Board, on recommendation of
Sasol’s executive management, was also launching its own
independent competition law compliance review ("Board Review”).
The Board Review has now been completed and the Board has
mandated executive group management to further enhance Sasol’s
competition law compliance processes and systems. The Board
supports the remedial steps being taken and, further, believes
that the implementation of these measures will augment the
competition law compliance processes of the Sasol Group.
