Renée Bonorchis | Sasol is running out of road

Friday's AGM confirms that there’s real and growing dissatisfaction with Sasol’s handling of its decarbonisation strategy and commitments, writes Renée Bonorchis. 

Sasol’s annual general meeting on Friday afternoon was brutal.  

Most AGMs are scheduled in the morning on an innocuous day like a Thursday. They usually take less than an hour. They’re typically held in air-conditioned auditoriums and there are very civil tea and snacks involved. Not so with Sasol. Scared of another disruption by the likes of Extinction Rebellion, which protested last year and took over the stage, Sasol went fully online. At 14:00. On a hot Friday afternoon. In January.
