Sustainability

Glencore International believes that sustainability must be an integral part of everything we do. It is vital to good business conduct, and helps us meet both our own expectations and those of our stakeholders.

We believe that operating sustainably also enhances our corporate reputation and forms part of our competitive advantage around the world.

For this reason, we have put a corporate sustainability framework in place to balance social, environmental, ethical and commercial interests at every level of our group. This framework is called Glencore Corporate Practice, or GCP. We have designed and implemented GCP to meet internationally recognised, sector-specific, good practice standards.

We released the first of our annual sustainability reports in 2011. You can read the Glencore sustainability report 2010 online.
