- Continued to support joint venture investment in Nala Renewables and the build out of MorGen Energy’s portfolio of low‑carbon hydrogen projects, which remain subject to regulatory support and approval.
- Expanded biofuels and lower-carbon fuel offering, supported by Greenergy and TFG Marine capabilities.
Richard Holtum, CEO of Trafigura, commented: “As we enter 2026, the external environment remains uncertain, shaped by evolving trade policies and customer needs. Our role is to supply essential energy and raw materials safely, reliably and responsibly. Strong governance and operational excellence will continue to guide our approach.”
“I am grateful to our employees around the world and confident in our ability to continue strengthening Trafigura – commercially, operationally and sustainably – in the year ahead.”
