Overview

Sasol's Enterprise Development programme targets black-owned suppliers in the energy, chemicals, engineering services, and related manufacturing sectors. The technical bar is the highest of any corporate ED programme in South Africa — OHSA compliance, ISO standards, and relevant industry certifications are typically required or expected.

Businesses that operate in or adjacent to Sasol's operational areas (Secunda, Sasolburg, Richards Bay) with a legitimate supply-chain connection have the strongest case. Safety culture and technical competence are as important as financial readiness.

Kayzi Advisory NoteHighest technical bar of any corporate ED programme. Protect it for businesses with genuine technical capacity in energy, chemicals, or engineering. A business without relevant industry certifications will not progress.
