2021 Corporate Social Responsibility
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
The purpose of Mercuria’s Corporate Social Responsibility Report
2021 is to enable us to communicate effectively and transparently
with our stakeholders about our governance, our strategies and
our achievements. We are keen to report on the progress we
have made, as well as explain some of the challenges we have
faced, against some key objectives that we have set ourselves in
this regard.
We are committed to maintaining constructive communication
with all our stakeholders. This group includes; governments,
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), financiers, business
partners, communities, the media and last but not least our
employees around the globe. Continued dialogue ensures that
key issues are understood and addressed by all parties in a
timely, constructive, and coordinated manner. Mercuria looks
for opportunities to participate in industry initiatives, industry
associations and working groups which aid communication
and progress in our industry, as well as supporting published
guidelines and initiatives wherever appropriate.
This is the fourth annual CSR report prepared by Mercuria and
the data and analysis contained within it refers to our activities
in the 2021 calendar year. The report includes information about
many of Mercuria’s activities and the activities of companies and
assets where Mercuria has operational or management control.
Supplementary information about our policies and activities is
published on www.mercuria.com.
We work hard to improve our data each year and are pleased
with the progress we have made in a number of areas including
our calculation of our group Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
We now include numbers from our non-ocean transportation
as well as reporting the GHG emissions from our chartered and
owned vessels.
Mercuria is committed to contributing to the transition to cleaner
fuels and we are focused on this throughout our business. We
have detailed in this report the internal targets we have set
ourselves, and our progress against them. Our diversified asset
portfolio reflects the changing industry and its emerging energy
resources which are presenting Mercuria with a huge opportunity
to develop our business in a more sustainable manner.
We pride ourselves on setting high benchmarks and standards
in relation to responsible trading. Throughout this report we are
pleased to share with you how Mercuria sets and achieves these
standards to maintain our market leading position in this regard.
In line with our internal commitment to reduce our consumption
of paper we have designed this user friendly web communication
tool to share this report with you!
