About Trafigura Foundation and Puma Energy Foundation

The Trafigura Foundation (www.trafigurafoundation.org) was established in November 2007 and acts as the Group's philanthropic arm. With an annual budget of up to US$ 8.5 million, the Foundation provides grants to some 30 charities, partners and expert organisations in order to deliver positive, sustainable impact in the broad areas of ‘Safe and Clean Supply Chains' and ‘Fair and Sustainable Employment'. The foundation is also currently starting to engage in the field of Climate Action. Similarly, the Puma Energy Foundation (est. 2013, see www.pumaenergyfoundation.org) plays a comparable role towards the Puma Energy company, partially owned by Trafigura. Its specific annual budget is approx. of US$1 million.

Managed by the same team, both foundations work in very close interaction with the employees of the Founders (Trafigura & Puma Energy), in line with the ambition to nurture an informed, participatory connection between their people and the communities in the countries where we operate. The foundations also encourage the involvement of staff in community-oriented initiatives, in particular through its Matching Funds scheme and the network of Charity Committees in our main offices.
