what we do
Our Approach
Our approach consists of four main aspects:
Implementation of best practices
Best practices are the foundation of each aspect of our business. It enables corporate governance making us a reliable and trusted partner.
SELECTION OF RARE
COMMODITIES
Our focus lies on commodities that we classify as rare based on a list of quantitative and qualitative factors. Our commodities range from agricultural products to rare earth elements.
Digitisation of the trading process
We embrace technology and innovation. We are digitising our trading process in order to win efficiencies in terms of time, cost, security, and transparency.
CONTRIBUTION TO THE
SDGs
We are dedicated to do more than just the trade. We are motivated to go the extra mile, contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through inclusion to empower our partners and communities.
We reinvest 5% of our net income in initiatives that contribute to these goals.
HOW WE CONTRIBUTE TO THE SDGs
Affordable and Clean Energy
Our commodities such as rare earth elements, metals and minerals are indispensable to produce and support the increasing demand for renewable energy.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Our Rare Commodities support industries that accelerate the progression of the 5th industrial revolution and therefore contribute to higher economic productivity. Also, our socially responsible initiatives provide economic stability to our agricultural partners in the communities we engage in.Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Our commodities support the evolution of Electronic Vehicles (EV), autonomous driving, and Internet Of Things (IoT). We also foster applications using geospatial data in sectors such as agriculture, oil, and mining that will enhance governance. By digitising our trades, we further connect societies to promote collaboration for a global inclusive and sustainable industrialisation.
Climate Action
We invest in R&D to contribute to climate change mitigation and reduce the global environmental impact. Our R&D efforts will be focused on improving the environmental sustainability in all areas of the trading ecosystem. This spans from the improvement in the environmental aspect of mining processes and management, all the way to the properties of the refined commodities.
Partnerships for the Goals
Our ecosystem does not only include our suppliers and clients. By including communities and our partners in R&D as well, we strengthen global partnerships for sustainable development. The increasing exports from emerging markets through multilateral trade will play an important role in creating and strengthening these partnerships.
