our strengths

Forging strong connections

Our employee ownership model, market expertise, financial stability and our commitment to responsible business are key strengths that give us a competitive advantage.

Global reach & scale

Our global network

Over the past three decades, we have built a global network through investments in logistics, assets and people based in more than 50 locations worldwide. Scale, reach and the expertise of our employees allow us to move commodities efficiently, reliably and responsibly from where they are produced to where they are needed most.

RELIABLE AND RESILIENT

Proven track record

We have achieved consistent, profitable growth every year since inception, throughout commodity price cycles and market volatility. Strong relationships with suppliers, customers and financiers, and a track record of delivering vital commodities reliably, efficiently and responsibly are the foundation of our success. 

DIVERSIFIED BUSINESS MODEL

Supplying a broad range of commodities

Our business spans oil and petroleum products, gas and power, metals and minerals and carbon markets as well as investments in renewable energy, hydrogen and clean energy technologies. We also have a leading shipping and chartering business. This diversity provides us with the flexibility to adapt to changing market dynamics and the ability to provide our customers with a wide range of vital commodities, wherever they need them.

ACCESS TO CAPITAL

Financial strength

The Group’s strong balance sheet, credit lines from a wide network of banks and access to international capital markets are key differentiators in our industry.

Our funding model combines short-term transactional facilities and committed long-term financing to support our business in different cycles and for distinct requirements. Access to finance is underpinned by a robust approach to managing risk, whether operational, financial, political, social or environmental.

EXPERTISE AT EVERY STAGE

Committed people, proven expertise

Our deep research capabilities extend across all major commodities, providing our commercial teams and our counterparts with unique insights into supply and demand dynamics driving our markets. Since the company was founded, we have been owned by a growing number of our employees. This model encourages a longer-term perspective and approach to risk, building relationships and the future performance of the company. It is an approach that sets Trafigura apart from many of its competitors.

IMPROVING STANDARDS ACROSS THE SUPPLY CHAIN

Responsible business practices

We play an active role in the energy transition, responsibly supplying vital commodities to meet current and future needs. We are committed to operating safely, managing our impacts and supporting positive outcomes for the environment and communities.
