Sasol Ltd. has been forced to cancel its annual general meeting after protesters stormed the stage from which Chief Executive Officer Fleetwood Grobler was trying to address shareholders.
Holding signs reading “Coal Kills” and other banners, about a dozen environmental activists took the stage at the company’s Johannesburg headquarters as executives remained seated behind them. The protesters criticized the company’s climate record, chanting “shame on Sasol.”
