| ENERGY TRANSITION, SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION
Mercuria has leading positions leading positions in the diversified industry
sectors and products in which it competes. As a Group we also have ambitions
to transform both the way the industry operates and the industry itself. We see
our role and values in two fields in particular.
Firstly, we have a fundamental role to play in the global energy transition. We
need to contribute to the global effort to combat climate change and to help
the world achieve the goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Mercuria
has continued to diversify its energy mix, actively moving towards its goal of
trading and promoting cleaner energies, as well as investing in a number of
companies providing renewable and sustainable energy solutions. We have also
established a process of identifying and tracking Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs), including carbon emissions, to assist us in progressing towards our
goal and to provide more transparency to our stakeholders on our activities, our
challenges and our solutions.
Secondly, we seek to bring cutting-edge technology into the industry to advance
the way participants communicate, track, log, process and finance commodity
transactions. In particular, Mercuria has taken a leading position in three
financial-technical (FinTech) ventures that will introduce blockchain technology
to improve the speed, efficiency and security by which commodities are traded
around the globe. We believe that the way for the industry to revolutionize and
be disrupted is to work together to bring about real success and change.
