Sasol Ltd (SSL), a leading entity in the chemicals and energy sectors, announced on Monday the appointment of Muriel Dube, previously the Lead Independent Director, as the new Chairman of the Board effective September 13.
In conjunction with this transition, the Sasol Board has also designated Martina Floel as the new Lead Independent Director, effective the same date.
Upon her appointment, Dube stepped down from her positions as Chairman of the Safety, Social and Ethics Committee, and as a member of both the Audit Committee and the Capital Investment Committee.
To accommodate these changes, the Board has appointed David Eyton, an independent non-executive director, as the new Chairman of the Safety, Social and Ethics Committee, and as a member of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Governance Committee.
Due to these changes, Eyton has relinquished his role as a member of the Remuneration Committee, effective September 14. Katherine Harper, also an independent non-executive director, has been appointed to the Remuneration Committee effective the same date.
Muriel Dube joined the Sasol Board as an independent non-executive director in 2018. She is currently serving as a non-executive director at the UK Infrastructure Bank. Her past non-executive directorships include roles at Control Risks UK, Apogee Sustainability, Vodacom South Africa, Bidvest Group Limited, PG Group, Bravo Brands, Fluormin plc, and Enviroserv.
Previously, Dube was the Chief Negotiator for the South African Government in climate change negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, in addition to her role as Director of Atmospheric Protection and Chemicals Management at the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism.
