PURPOSE,
VISION & VALUE
Mercuria remains committed to its founding ambition of creating a diversified global energy Group.
The Group is constantly evolving its expertise and capabilities to remain at the forefront of the energy
industry and because of this effort and unwavering commitment is now one of the world’s four largest
independent energy traders, with proven success across all aspects of the energy landscape.
There are three distinct areas of expertise which combine to make up the Mercuria business model:
1.
Trading of physical commodities
2. Acquisition and management of physical assets as well as equity stakes in companies that
exist to supply commodities to consumers
3. Providing companies that are physically active in the sector with bespoke financing
solutions It is the combination of these disciplines which places
Mercuria perfectly to carve the way forward for the energy industry as we transition to new fuel
sources. The work carried out by these teams complements one another, allowing Mercuria to provide
complete solutions for clients and other stakeholders. Compliance sits across the entire organisation,
ensuring that Mercuria is always conducting business in a manner that meets industry and geographic
regulations and our high ethical standards.
This holistic approach means that while the trading team are aiming to optimize supply chains and
rebalance markets when surplus and deficits occur, the investing and structuring team can focus on
more complex structures which combine trade flows, risk management and financing elements.
Mercuria has a proven track record in driving progress and efficiencies in areas such as digitalisation,
inventory management and market standardisation. Mercuria is proud to extend this expertise to the
wider industry, including to the new renewable energy landscape. Mercuria is committed to being at the
forefront of the energy transition and is proud to be leading the way by advocating the sharing of trade
information, thus increasing the prosperity of all stakeholders.
Mercuria’s strategy is to support producers and consumers of commodities and support the global
energy transition that needs to happen. Part of this support is to continue to minimise market disruption
to energy supplies and ensure that markets remain balanced, thereby reducing volatility in the markets.
