Staff engagement
In 2025, Trafigura employees showed once again
how much more we can achieve by working together.
Across the Group, colleagues gave their time to champion ambitious fundraising efforts for causes close to their hearts. Every contribution, however small, made a meaningful difference.

Voices of Leadership
Our people lead the way. Their drive to give back aims to create a meaningful impact in local communities. We’re proud to support their initiatives and amplify their efforts.

Trafigura Chairman
Employees join forces to drive change
Collectively, they devoted over 2,500 volunteer hours to support
dozens of employee‑nominated charities. From organising events and mentoring young people to cheering teammates at races or helping families in crisis, our staff turned goodwill into
tangible change.
To add to these efforts, the Trafigura Foundation boosted staff engagement through two high‑impact programmes:
- Charity of the Year – Employee-led committees select and vet a local non-profit. The Foundation then provides a 12‑month grant for a specific project, while the committee drives engagement among colleagues.
- Matching Funds – The Foundation amplifies employee fundraising by contributing a capped amount to a non-profit of its choice.
Together, these initiatives channelled USD 1.3 million into 47 staff‑led projects in 2025, supporting diverse communities around the world. The network grew too, with new Charity Committees launched in Buenos Aires and Luanda — expanding
the reach of employee‑driven philanthropy even further.
United in purpose, employees continued to show that when people come together, even the smallest actions can spark meaningful, lasting change.
Making an impact beyond the workplace
