Sasol has been ranked among the world’s top 100 companies in for sustainability by the QCRD Global Sustainability (QCRD) Index's semi-annual report, issued on November 19, 2010. The award recognizes exceptional delivery, in the fields of environmental, social and governance issues, along with a strong financial performance.

 
The QCRD Index serves as a benchmark for stocks of companies that are traded on a major US stock exchange and have taken a leadership role in disclosing their carbon footprint, energy usage, water consumption, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, employee safety, workforce diversity, management composition and community investing. The companies on the Index are voluntarily disclosing their current environmental, social and governance risks as well as their revenue opportunities and how it will affect future performance. The companies’ securities must also meet other eligibility criteria which include minimum requirements for market value, average daily share volume, and price.
 
The QCRD Index is used by investors to make a quick, relative assessment of sustainability across sectors, industries and companies.
 
In response to the listing, Sasol chief executive, Pat Davies, said, “We believe that a genuine and informed commitment to sustainable development is integral to the achievement of our long-term objectives. Growth without sustainability is unacceptable for all stakeholders and, as we continue on this path, it is encouraging to receive recognition such as this listing on the the NASDQ OMX CRD Global Sustainability Index.”
 
In a congratulatory letter to Sasol, Michael Muyot, President CRD Analytics, noted, “Thanks to companies like Sasol, the investment world has started to grasp the critical connection between sustainability and solid financial performance.”
 
The Index is evaluated on a semi-annual basis in May and November. CRD Analytics evaluated more than 3,000 global companies on 200 complex and diverse performance metrics in order to establish individual, quantitative ratings of sustainability.
