Glencore Energy UK limited fully resolves investigation by UK authorities
£280,965,092.95 financial penalty and costs is part of previously announced coordinated resolutions with
authorities in the US, UK and Brazil
Aggregate amounts of the resolutions are materially consistent with the provision recorded in Glencore’s FY
2021 results
Glencore Energy UK Limited will pay a financial penalty and costs of £280,965,092.95 in respect of the
previously announced resolution of the UK Serious Fraud Office (“SFO”) investigation. The penalty was
determined by the Southwark Crown Court, where the company previously admitted to five counts of bribery
and two counts of failure to prevent bribery under the UK Bribery Act 2010. As the SFO noted, Glencore provided
a high level of cooperation with the SFO’s investigation and engaged in an extensive programme of corporate
reform.
Today’s hearing in London follows Glencore’s 24 May 2022 announcement that it had reached coordinated
resolutions of investigations by authorities in the United Kingdom, the United States and Brazil into past activities
in certain Group businesses related to bribery, and separate US investigations related to market manipulation.
The aggregate payments to resolve the UK, US and Brazilian investigations do not differ materially from the
$1,500 million provision recorded in Glencore’s FY2021 results.
In a statement, Kalidas Madhavpeddi, Chairman of Glencore said:
“The conduct that took place was inexcusable and has no place in Glencore. The Company is committed to
operating a company that creates value for all stakeholders by operating transparently under a well-defined set
of values, with openness and integrity at the forefront. The Company has taken significant action towards
implementing a world-class Ethics and Compliance Programme built around risk assessment, policies,
procedures, standards and guidelines based on international best practice, associated training and awareness
initiatives as well as monitoring systems.”
Further details on Glencore’s compliance initiatives can be found in the presentation and Ethics and Compliance
report available here.
Glencore continues to cooperate with a previously disclosed and ongoing investigation by the Office of the
Attorney General of Switzerland (“OAG”) into Glencore International AG for failure to have the organisational
measures in place to prevent alleged corruption, and an investigation of similar scope by the Dutch Public
Prosecution Service. The timing and outcome of these investigations remain uncertain (see Notes 21 and 27 of
the Company’s 2022 Half-Year Report).
