Glencore

From Glencore's statement of support to the EITI

In its 2010 Sustainability Report, Glencore announced that it has become a Supporting Company of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).

Glencore is a supporter of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI); the EITI candidate countries in which we operated during 2010 were the DRC, Zambia, Kazakhstan and Peru. We believe that transparency in the disbursement of our direct economic contributions is important, both for us and for those who receive them. This will allow these payments to be redistributed and invested with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
