This has enabled us to consistently deliver on our
financial targets and build value for our
shareholders. Our strong balance sheet,
together with our sustained financial performance provides a solid
foundation for sustainable growth, says Chief financial officer
Christine Ramon.
Sasol's
strategy to expand our international energy business –
based
on our proprietary technology, our experience in managing and
operating large-scale integrated projects and plants, and our skills
base –
remains a
key driver of growth.
Most businesses delivered above-budget performances, with the
