 About The Trafigura Foundation

The Trafigura Foundation is the vehicle for its community investment programme.

Through the Foundation it ensures that the benefits of its community initiatives are maximised, captured and reported.

The Foundation aims at making a real difference by having a genuine impact in the societies and projects it supports globally through long-term partnerships.

The projects that are supported reflect the Foundation’s values through specific employee-led proposals that make a real difference to charities at a local level and enable people to reach their full potential.

Following a worldwide employee survey, the two issues that generated most support were education and the environment so the Foundation prioritises initiatives in these areas as well as integration, culture, social and/or physical disabilities.

The partnerships the Foundation support are built upon Trafigura’s brand values and the individual approach that many of its people already take in supporting the community through cash and skills in-kind help.

Over 50% of Trafigura’s people are actively involved in helping their communities. This is a figure they hope will grow and support both financially and managerially as the Foundation gains greater momentum. The Foundation also continues to encourage fundraising efforts by groups of employees by matching all amounts raised.
