Summary
Glencore is one of the world’s largest diversified commodities companies, operating across trading, mining, and logistics. In the energy sector, the company is a major supplier of thermal coal and oil products, while also positioning itself as a key provider of metals critical to the energy transition, including copper, cobalt, and nickel. Within the context of net zero and sustainability, Glencore presents a dual profile. It has committed to aligning its operations with the goals of the Paris Agreement and has set targets to reduce its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions intensity. At the same time, it continues to face scrutiny for its coal portfolio, which remains a significant contributor to revenues.
