BUILDING TRUST

Responsible value chains

We set clear expectations for the environmental, social and governance performance of our suppliers. We have developed a defined approach to value chain due diligence, including a specific programme focused on identifying high-risk impacts associated with the minerals and metals we source and supply, with the aim of promoting continuous improvement.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO STAKEHOLDERS

Why responsible value chains matter

Responsible value chains support our sustainability goals and create lasting value for a wide range of stakeholders.

BUILDING RESPONSIBLE VALUE CHAINS

The objectives of our responsible sourcing programme

We actively promote responsible value chains to achieve three goals:

to identify and mitigate risk to people and the environment

to engage and promote positive change

to promote transparency and provide assurance where needed

CREATING LASTING VALUE

Trafigura's responsible sourcing programme is multi-layered

Through a multi-layered diligence process, we explore the social and environmental impacts of existing and potential suppliers and buyers from across the value chain.
