Clay Nesler,
China committed to ensuring resilient growth of its economy and the chemicals industry through sustainable development when it endorsed the UN’s 2030 Agenda. Sasol is aligned with this approach and actively pursues a strategy of sustainable value creation. Stakeholders today require greater transparency of business sustainability risk management. Stricter regulations require an improved environmental footprint, as do consumers demanding products that use energy more efficiently.
Fleetwood Grobler,
executive vice-president, Sasol Chemicals
I expect China to continue to grow strongly, … (and the) basis of this growth is the various strategic initiatives China’s government has put in place, such as the Road and Belt Initiative. But I also expect a lot from China’s national plans to increase the quality in its value chain. There is still enormous potential for China’s startup community and for economic growth through the development of digital transformation to bring more innovations from China to the market. China will stay one of Heraeus’ core-business countries.
Jan Rinnert,
CEO, Heraeus China’s incredible rise is perhaps the most important example of what can happen when an economy partners with others and opens up to global markets. Open trade and cross-border investment have been central to delivering higher living standards in nearly every country in the world, and now China is leading the way. We’re optimistic about China’s long-term economic outlook.
