This report analyzes the operations of Sasol, a multinational enterprise (MNE), in Mozambique,
focusing on the formal and informal institutional frameworks governing its activities. The purpose
of the report is to evaluate Sasol's presence in Mozambique's energy sector through a
comprehensive literature search, resource appraisal, and analysis of the institutional
frameworks. The objectives are to assess Sasol's contributions to Mozambique's economy,
understand the challenges of international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), and

industrial development, particularly through the development of natural gas fields and
infrastructure. The company has demonstrated a commitment to sustainable practices and
