MARCO DUNAND
Chief Executive Officer
Welcome to our CSR report for 2024. We are excited to
share the progress we’ve made as a company this year,
driven by strategic decisions that align with a sustainable
future.
In 2024, we have continued to invest in the energy
transition and to prioritize the preservation of nature and
biodiversity. Through Silvania, our biodiversity investment
fund, we remain dedicated to maintaining nature’s balance
and preserving our planet. Through our expansion into
metals, we play a key role in supplying the critical minerals
and metals essential for the global energy shift. Across all of
our activities, we are committed to the highest ethical
standards and responsible business practices that
safeguard both human rights and the environment.
At Mercuria, we pride ourselves on setting high standards in
relation to responsible trading. We continuously enhance
our policies to align with the latest regulations and promote
best practices. Our Business Principles emphasize ethical
and responsible conduct, ensuring the integrity of our
operations and supply chains. They reflect our commitment
to
human
rights,
societal
and
environmental
responsibilities, the safety and rights of our employees, and
thrive for building a sustainable future. Our robust
compliance culture is integrated throughout our business,
providing every employee with the knowledge, resources
and support needed to conduct their work to the highest
ethical and compliance standards.
We have committed $500 million to nature-based solutions,
through Silvania, focused on biodiversity and sustainable
reforestation. In 2024, we expanded our efforts to
encompass projects in over 20 countries, conserving more
than 29 million hectares of land. Leveraging our expertise as
a carbon trader and project developer, we deliver highintegrity
nature-based
initiatives
worldwide.

incorporating advanced technologies like remote sensing
Our expansion into the metals business reaffirms our
commitment to the energy transition. We previously set a
goal of directing 50% of our investments toward the energy
transition by 2025, a target we successfully met ahead of
schedule. To further this commitment, we have
strengthened our metals business to supply the critical
metals essential for a low-carbon future.
We recognize that metals and minerals often involve
operations and supply chains in high-risk areas, posing
various human rights and environmental challenges. Our
robust compliance procedures are crucial to addressing
these risks, maintaining transparency across our supply
chains, and ensuring full compliance with the regulations of
all jurisdictions in which we operate and those impacted by
our supply chain. We are committed to promoting ethical
and responsible practices across all the regions we engage
with, with a particular focus on high-risk areas and critical
commodities.
We continue to diversify our portfolio and provide a wide
range of energy solutions for people around the world.
While the global shift toward renewable energy is essential,
we must also recognize that many underprivileged,
communities still rely on traditional energy sources to meet
their basic needs. We are committed to addressing the
diverse energy needs of the global community, ensuring no
one is left behind in the energy transition.
We are committed to driving innovation through strategic
investments, forward-thinking practices and transformative
projects. To leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and
strengthen our expertise, we are integrating AI specialists at
all levels4from interns and young professionals to seasoned
experts. This diverse talent pool is exploring how AI can be
incorporated into our daily operations and at a strategic
level. Through process optimization, we aim to enhance
efficiency, precision, and the overall impact of our initiatives,
ensuring sustainable growth and long-term success.
