Glencore

Glencore is a multinational commodities company that combines mining and production with trading in metals, minerals, energy products, and agricultural goods.

Commodity trading: The buying and selling of raw materials and primary products across markets. Glencore uses trading to connect its own production with customers and suppliers worldwide.
Copper mining: The extraction and processing of copper-bearing ores to produce copper metal or concentrates. Copper is one of Glencore’s major mined products.
Marc Rich: Marc Rich was a commodities trader who founded the company that became Glencore. Rich established the trading business from which Glencore developed.
Energy transition: The shift from fossil fuels toward lower-carbon energy systems and technologies. Glencore faces strategic pressure as demand for coal changes while metals demand grows.
Mining: The extraction of minerals and other geological materials from the Earth. Mining supplies many of the metals and minerals Glencore also markets.
Cobalt mining: The extraction of cobalt, often as a by-product of copper or nickel mining. Glencore has been a major producer of cobalt used in batteries and industry.
Marc Rich + Co: Marc Rich + Co was the commodities trading company founded by Marc Rich in 1974. It was Glencore’s predecessor and established its original trading-centered model.
Thermal coal: Coal burned primarily to generate electricity and heat. Glencore’s coal operations make its role in decarbonization debates especially direct.
Commodity supply chain: The network of producers, processors, transporters, traders, and users that moves commodities from source to market. Glencore coordinates activities across multiple stages of commodity movement.
Zinc mining: The extraction and processing of zinc ores, chiefly to produce zinc metal. Zinc is part of Glencore’s metals production portfolio.
