Description
Trafigura is one of the world’s leading independent commodity trading and logistics houses. Our business is advancing trade for a growing array of customers and counterparties around the world. The Trafigura Foundation (see www.trafigurafoundation.org) was established in November 2007 and acts as the Group’s philanthropic arm. Similarly, the Puma Energy Foundation (est. 2013, see ww.pumaenergyfoundation.org) plays a comparable role towards the Puma Energy company, partially owned by Trafigura. Managed by the same team, both foundations work in very close interaction with the employees of the Group, in line with the ambition to nurture an informed, participatory connection between our people and the communities in the countries where we operate. The foundations also encourages the involvement of our staff in community-oriented initiatives, in particular through its Matching Funds scheme and the network of Charity Committees in our main offices.
