Our Foundation
Established in 2007, The Trafigura Foundation invest in catalytic solutions that address climate adaptation, the socioeconomic needs of vulnerable communities, and their connection with global supply chains.
We invest for impact by financing multi-year initiatives maximising their potential for success. We accompany our partners throughout the ideation, development, and implementation of those initiatives. We measure success and impact expecting more than outputs, trainings, and activities. We favour collective action and collaboration in international development. Our investments support participatory approaches that give communities ownership in the development and implementation of solutions with the potential to scale up globally.
We focus on Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.

How we work
We contribute to building resilient communities and ecosystems across global supply chains.

These principles and our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals are reflected in our theory of change.
