1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
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
analyze the determinants of success for MNEs operating in Mozambique.
Key findings reveal that Sasol has significantly contributed to Mozambique's economic and
industrial development, particularly through the development of natural gas fields and
infrastructure. The company has demonstrated a commitment to sustainable practices and
corporate social responsibility. The formal institutional frameworks in Mozambique, including
political, economic, and legal systems, have a profound impact on Sasol's operations.Terms
