Ethics & sustainability

Sustainability is our
Foundation for the future

Our responsibility as a raw materials trader does not end with the trade itself. We are actively committed to sustainable business practices, fair supply chains and environmentally friendly processes. Through transparent corporate governance and close cooperation with our partners, we ensure that sustainability is not just a promise, but a lived reality.

Our most important areas in the field of sustainability

We have set clear priorities in order to drive positive change in our industry:

Environment

Commitment to the environment

Sustainability is not an add-on for GCG, but a principle. As a global commodities trader, we bear responsibility along the entire value chain - from extraction to transportation and recycling. Environmentally conscious action is an integral part of our processes and the basis for long-term, responsible growth.

Social

Social responsibility

For GCG, social responsibility is part of who we are. As a global commodity trader, we see our success as directly linked to social impact - from the origin of the raw materials to our team. We promote fair conditions, partnership at eye level and responsibility along the entire value chain.

Transparency

Integrity as a foundation

Transparency and compliance are not just an obligation for GCG, but the basis for trust. In a global industry, credibility counts. That is why we act according to the highest standards - comprehensibly, with integrity and in compliance with the rules - towards partners, customers and within our organization.

Partnerships & cooperations

We know that Sustainability is a joint task. That's why we work closely with leading organizations, NGOs and certification bodies to enforce our high standards.

Project

Supporting small farmers in sustainable agriculture

GCG supports small farmers in the transition to sustainable farming methods - through training, fair purchase agreements and access to markets. In this way, we promote local value creation, ecological responsibility and stable livelihoods in commodity-producing regions.
