Capacity building in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)
During FY2025, our Responsible Sourcing Programme delivered targeted capacity-building initiatives to 37 suppliers in the DRC, focusing on three critical areas: supply chain due diligence, health and safety and greenhouse gas accounting.
Focus areas for Responsible Sourcing programme
Supply Chain Due Diligence
Health and Safety
Greenhouse gas accounting
Supply chain due diligence
We engaged an independent third-party consultant to deliver training aligned with international standards. The programme equipped suppliers with the knowledge and tools to conduct responsible sourcing assessments across their supply chains and effectively report on their responsible sourcing initiatives.
Health and safety
Recognising that safety remains paramount in mining operations, we facilitated two dedicated training sessions—one led by an independent consultant and another by our internal subject matter experts. These sessions focused on compliance with mining safety regulations and fostering a proactive safety culture in operational environments.
Our suppliers also participated in a global training programme commemorating World Day for Safety and Health at Work, where experts from Harvard Kennedy School and Flyability demonstrated how digital technologies can enhance occupational health and safety practices in mining operations.
Greenhouse gas accounting
To address the growing demand for emissions data in the metals market, our internal climate subject matter expert delivered training on greenhouse gas accounting. This initiative empowered suppliers to measure their emissions accurately whilst providing Trafigura and our customers with critical data on the carbon footprint of key products.
Looking ahead
In FY2026, we will continue facilitating training opportunities that drive continuous improvement amongst our suppliers and support alignment with industry standards.
