Our approach is firmly rooted in the reality that the future of all industries is dependent on the health and wellness of the planet and the people on it.
As a commodities house, we are committed to strong stewardship of the environment while maximizing the prosperity of our shareholders, employees, partners and communities through positive sustainable practices.
The way we behave in all of our activities around the world is of fundamental importance. We will always conduct our business with integrity, accountability and responsibility as well as strict compliance to laws and regulations.
How we interact with people defines us as a business. We commit to treat people in all walks of life with dignity and respect, wherever we operate. Equally, we promise to provide our employees with a safe place to work and provide them with additional work-life balance benefits such as a 6 months maternity leave or gym membership.
Our main business is linked to hard-commodities production, so the way we treat the world around us will inevitably affect our future. Therefore, we are committed to constantly reducing our environmental impact such as introducing more eco-friendly commodity production processes to miners.
Our supply chain affects communities in the areas we source from. We are looking to better understand our overall carbon footprint in this critical part of our business as well as improve the livelihoods of miners and workers with better pay and strictly abide to the transparency and traceability of our entire supply chain.
We aim to empower the communities we interact with. We will make the most of our employees’ local knowledge and involvement as to effect positive change and identify innovative solutions. We believe that education boosts prospects of good jobs. 2% of all our profits is directly invested into the local remote rural communities, where we endeavour to build water and sustainable power infrastructure as well as provide computers, books and materials as well as create prized competitions to stimulate the brightest minds so that our future generations are empowered and stand a better chance at building a better life.
