2021 Corporate Social Responsibility
GLOBAL FOOTPRINT
Mercuria strongly believes that having a physical presence close to our customers is the most effective
way to identify and respond to their needs as well as giving us the best opportunity to maintain product,
logistic and fundamental intelligence. Having a close physical presence to producers and consumers
also means that Mercuria is able to optimize the supply chain through our ability to move, store and
blend commodities using our own assets, or by accessing third-party infrastructure. We have therefore
opened new offices in strategic geographical areas and expanded several of our existing representative
offices. Our commitment to providing high quality services is as the forefront of all these endeavours.
Mercuria is geographically diversified, operating in more than 50 countries. Regular activity across
geographies and markets delivers a depth of intelligence and understanding that enables the Group
to identify short, medium and longterm trends, and therefore adapt our business model to suit our
customers needs. The three major trading regions in which we operate are: Europe Middle East &
Africa (EMEA), Asia, and the Americas. These are also referred to as hubs, with each one offering multiproduct diversification. Our geographic diversification means are well positioned to immediately react to
situations in any region of the world.

ASSETS & INVESTMENTS
Mercuria’s assets business’ key focus is to enable the Group to express its market views through the
acquisition of physical assets and so allocate risk capital in the most cost-effective manner. Strategically
positioned assets integrated within a trading business allow us to better understand the market
fundamentals and offer flexible and competitive prices to our physical customer base.
Historically, this focus has predominantly been on upstream and midstream assets in the oil and gas
sector. More recently, we have been increasingly and actively supporting investments in a number of
projects as part of the furtherance of the transition towards renewable sources of power.
