Safety, health and environment (SH&E) Coordinating and advising on SH&E  issues through the group The Sasol SH&E Centre provides specialist  advice and support services to our  business units, and is responsible for  coordinating and reporting on the group’s  performance on SH&E and sustainable  development issues. All of Sasol’s  operations are governed by an integrated  SH&E policy and minimum requirements,  and our SH&E performance targets. Each  business is required to track performance  against these targets and to submit  quarterly reports to their respective  boards. These reports outline major risks  and liabilities, identify progress against the  group’s sustainability targets and review  any major incidents and areas of non- compliance. Our internal reporting and  auditing process is enhanced by various  annual external verifi cation audits.  The Sasol SH&E Centre is supported  by a network of technical specialists  throughout Sasol. These specialists share  experience in addressing a range of issues,  including auditing, process safety,  greenhouse gas management, product  stewardship, air quality, water and waste  management, and site remediation.  In addition, each of our businesses has  dedicated SH&E staff who are responsible  for assisting line management with SH&E  implementation.  Although certain aspects that contribute  to our broader sustainable development  performance – such as ethics, human  resources, HIV/Aids, skills development,  transformation and human rights – are  managed by different corporate functions  within the group, Sasol’s sustainable  development manager is attached to the  SH&E Centre. The primary responsibility  of the sustainable development manager  is to coordinate between these different  Sasol functions on the one hand, and  various external stakeholders and  initiatives on the other. This coordinating  function includes managing Sasol’s  relationships in terms of initiatives such  as the UN Global Compact and the Dow  Jones Sustainability Index. It also extends  to facilitating the engagement processes  with stakeholders on the group’s overall  sustainability performance, including  through the annual integrated  sustainability reporting process. The nature of the relationship between  the SH&E Centre and the rest of the  group is currently being refined as part  of Sasol’s Functional Excellence initiative.
