Sasol is pleased to announce that it has been ranked as the oil and gas global sector leader in the internationally recognised Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) 2010. Based on an in-depth global analysis of corporate economic, environmental and social performance, assessing issues such as corporate governance, risk management, branding, climate change mitigation, supply chain standards and labor practices, the DJSI provides a global benchmark for sustainable investment.

 
Completed annually by Dow Jones Indexes, a leading index provider, in conjunction with SAM, an investment boutique focused exclusively on sustainability investment, the review classifies corporate sustainability as a "business approach to create long term shareholder value."
 
"Sasol has performed exceptionally well against major and super major producers in the oil and gas sector and we are proud that our commitment and focus on sustainable practises across all areas of our business has been recognised with such a prestigious ranking", said Sasol CE, Pat Davies.
 
As part of Sasol's listing on the New York Stock Exchange, the company participates in the DJSI every year. The total number of companies invited to participate in the DJSI is 2 617. Of these 1 393 companies were assessed.
 
There are 19 different supersectors. The oil and gas supersector comprises four sectors, namely Oil and Gas Producers, Oil equipment and Services, Pipelines and Alternative Energy. Sasol qualified in 2009 for inclusion in the DJSI, scoring in the top 10 % in the oil and gas producers' industry. Its notable improvement in the environmental and social dimensions of the review has in only one year seen the company progress to being ranked as sector leader of the oil and gas producers (22 companies reviewed) and global leader for the oil and gas supersector (35 companies reviewed).
