TrafiguraESG & Sustainability Jobs

Global commodities trader connecting producers and consumers of minerals, metals, and energy across 150+ countries

Trafigura is one of the world's largest commodity trading and logistics companies, founded in 1993 and employee-owned. It connects producers and end-users of oil, metals, and minerals through a global network spanning more than 50 offices and over 150 countries, deploying infrastructure, shipping, and market expertise to move physical commodities through complex supply chains.

Why it matters

As a major trader of metals and minerals - including copper, cobalt, and aluminium - Trafigura sits at the intersection of conventional energy supply and the materials needed for the energy transition. The company has stated a role in responsibly supplying critical commodities for that transition, and has pursued power purchase agreements and supply chain initiatives tied to battery and clean energy inputs. It also operates TFG Marine, a bunker fuel joint venture exploring lower-emission fuels.

With roughly 14,500 employees and active involvement in commodity flows that underpin both fossil fuel systems and clean energy infrastructure, Trafigura has a significant ESG reporting and compliance function - reflected in roles like ESG Reporting Lead - tasked with tracking environmental and social performance across a sprawling global operation.
