Address
Baarermattstrasse 3, P.O. Box 1363, Baar, CHE, CH-6340
Glencore is one of the world's largest commodities traders, active in markets for metals and minerals, energy products, and agricultural goods. The firm's Marketing business provides sourcing, logistics, transportation, storage, and financing services to commodity producers and consumers around the globe. Core exposures are in the production of thermal coal, coking coal, copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, and ferroalloys. Unlike other major miners, Glencore plans to produce thermal coal until its mines exhaust, arguing that it is better for listed, western companies to own these assets and then rehabilitate them consistent with western standards. It has also agreed to buy Teck's metallurgical coal business, with the deal likely closing in the third quarter of 2024.
