6. 66 better together…we deliver Confidential – not for further distribution Sasol’s overall position- carbon tax Sasol supports a response to climate change that is based on clear and accurate information and identifies the opportunities and reflects the constraints of a transition to a lower carbon and climate resilient South African economy. Sasol believes that such a proactive response should recognise the following: the structure of the South African economy is inherently energy-intensive and, as such, presents a challenge as it cannot be transformed in the short- to medium-term to a lower carbon economy due to the lack of viable alternative lower carbon energy sources; the developmental needs of South Africa and the resultant demand in energy necessitate the prioritisation of long-term energy security for South Africa; mitigation actions in all industries would need to be introduced over time and will require international financing, technology and skills development support; the impact of policies to limit or tax carbon emissions on South Africa’s current international trade position and competitiveness needs to be better understood; the socio-economic impact of the transition to a lower carbon economy is likely to be significant and, accordingly, a range of trade-offs may be required to achieve the overall national imperatives of economic growth, job creation and poverty alleviation; Sasol does not support the carbon tax in its current form, without a full understanding of its consequences on the economy in the form of aspects such as employment, competitiveness and trade measures
