At Sasol, we recognise small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as critical drivers of economic growth and job creation. Through Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD), a strategic pillar of our Transformation Strategy, we create opportunities for businesses to grow, compete and participate meaningfully in a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
Guided by the principles of shared value, our ESD programmes strengthen enterprise capability, broaden economic participation and support sustainable participation across value chains. Through development support, funding, market access and strategic partnerships, we help build resilient enterprises, stronger local economies and more inclusive supply chains.
We intentionally leverage our supply chain as a catalyst for transformation, purposefully integrating small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) and businesses owned by historically disadvantaged persons (HDPs). Through this approach, we expand access to economic opportunity, strengthen local participation, and accelerate inclusive growth across all geographies where we operate.
