Security of supply is our trading strategy

As a specialized trading and sourcing partner, GCG facilitates reliable access to critical raw materials - through direct trading relationships in resource-rich regions, transparent transactions and consistent risk management. We create access to resources before they become scarce - and thus strengthen the competitiveness of our clients in industry, technology and energy.

Critical raw materials are far more than just industrial primary products - they are strategic resources without which no green transition, no digital transformation and no industrial value creation is possible. Whether batteries for electromobility, wind turbines, semiconductors or modern communication systems - all of these technologies are based on a secure supply of critical raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, rare earths or copper.

Global demand is rising rapidly, driven by ambitious climate targets, growing industrialization and geopolitical competition. At the same time, access to these raw materials is increasingly characterized by instability, market distortion and dependencies. Over 90 % of the EU's demand for many of these materials comes from just a few countries - with significant risks for supply chains, price stability and the ability to innovate.
