CSR Mercuria 2018 - Flipbook - Page 59
CLOSING STATEMENT
Mercuria is one of the world’s largest independent energy and commodities groups. We are dynamic, responsible, financially sound
and growing. With a turnover of more than USD 100 billion, the
group, primarily focused on energy, is present all along the commodities value chain with activities forming a balanced combination of commodities flows and strategic assets.
Coupled with Mercuria’s inherent trading expertise, the group has
consistently invested in upstream oil, gas and coal mining assets
around the world. These investments underpin the company’s
growing presence as a major player in the global market.
Mercuria already has exciting developments to report in 2019. Most
notable amongst these is the merger of Aegean Marine Petroleum
Network with Minerva Bunkering. This restructuring and merger
results in a stronger combined entity with greater supply capabilities as well as solid access to liquidity. With the standards of IMO
2020 less than a year away, Minerva will be uniquely positioned to
provide unparalleled offerings and solutions to the global marine
fuel market.
LOOKING FORWARD
As part of this first Responsibilities Paper, we have identified that
there are areas for our improvement as well as targets to meet
which we will incorporate into our work and strategy this year.
In relation to EHS data, whilst having access to all data, we realized
that we need to create a more consistent approach to recording
and reporting EHS data within our organization. This will allow us
to further standardize and measure our key performance indicators
(KPIs) and allow quicker analysis of the data.
Another area, in which we are aware that we can improve on, is how
we track the numerous training sessions and courses that are provided throughout the business. Around the globe, Mercuria provides
extensive training and courses for employees to further develop
their careers.
However, whilst collating information for this report, we identified
that different assets and jurisdictions have differing methods of
recording data (i.e. monthly, quarterly, annually). We are looking to
implement a new system to track the training courses undertaken
by our employees and the related statistics. Our Human Resources
Department are aware of this necessary enhancement to our data
collation and next year we expect to have more refined KPI’s on
training offered, programs available and other categories.
