Notes for Editors
Glencore is one of the world’s largest global diversified natural resource companies and a major producer
and marketer of more than 60 commodities that advance everyday life. Through a network of assets,
customers and suppliers that spans the globe, we produce, process, recycle, source, market and distribute
the commodities that support decarbonisation while meeting the energy needs of today.
With around 140,000 employees and contractors and a strong footprint in over 35 countries in both
established and emerging regions for natural resources, our marketing and industrial activities are
supported by a global network of more than 40 offices.
Glencore's customers are industrial consumers, such as those in the automotive, steel, power generation,
battery manufacturing and oil sectors. We also provide financing, logistics and other services to producers
and consumers of commodities.
Glencore is proud to be a member of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights and the
International Council on Mining and Metals. We are an active participant in the Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative.
We recognise our responsibility to contribute to the global effort to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement
by decarbonising our own operational footprint. We believe that we should take a holistic approach and
have considered our commitment through the lens of our global industrial emissions. Against a 2019
baseline, we are committed to reducing our Scope 1, 2 and 3 industrial emissions by 15% by the end of 2026,
50% by the end of 2035 and we have an ambition to achieve net zero industrial emissions by the end of 2050.
