Mercuria looks for opportunities to participate in industry initiatives, industry associations and working groups which aid communication and progress in our industry, as well as supporting published guidelines and initiatives wherever appropriate.

For this, our sixth annual CSR report we are following the approach adopted last year and splitting the report into two sections. First, is the longer timeframe description of the activities that we undertake using the 4 pillars of the WEF reporting framework – governance, planet, people and prosperity – and an overview of the Mercuria group. Second, we include data and analysis using the same framework, but specific to our activities in the 2023 calendar year in a standalone section called Progress in 2023.

As with previous years and in line with our internal commitment to reduce our consumption of paper we have created this user-friendly, dedicated CSR website to share this report with you.

We work hard to improve our data each year and are pleased with the progress we have made in a number of areas including our reporting and calculation of our group’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In 2023, we have digitized our emissions reporting system, streamlining reporting procedures among our assets. This is aimed at providing more robust systems for our emissions reporting as we work towards achieving our net zero commitment by 2050.
