5,300+ Employees OIL AND ITS DERIVATIVES 36 Crude oil is far from a homogeneous commodity. The unique molecular characteristics of each different source of crude determine how efficiently it will process into a broad range of derivative products, including liquid petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline, naphtha, jet fuel, diesel, fuel oil and asphalt but also plastics, pharmaceuticals, detergents and much else. Countries Awareness of movements in demand and prices for crude oil and its products is a key aspect of oil trading. This is delivered by Trafigura s global network of offices and operations. Our trading hubs close relationships with their regions ensure early awareness of the events and trends that drive demand. METALS AND MINERALS Beijing Shanghai Mumbai Singapore Commodities such as copper, zinc, lead, aluminium, coal and iron ore are responsible for powering the world s building, electrical, automotive, telecommunications and construction industries. Trafigura, with its significant global presence, trades all of these materials: as concentrates (the raw material), intermediate products (e.g. copper blister) and refined metals. In addition, approximately three quarters of silver is mined from gold, copper, lead and zinc as a by-product of these metals and as a consequence Trafigura is heavily involved in the trading of precious metals, too. The size of our trading books and extensive global office network allows us to serve our mining and smelting customers very efficiently, meeting their specific quality requirements and providing services such as financing, shipping logistics and price risk mitigation. Trafigura systematically hedges all price risk associated with the physical commodities we trade on derivative exchanges such as the London Metal Exchange and the Shanghai Futures Exchange.

GRADUATES GENEVA HOUSTON JOHANNESBURG MONTEVIDEO MUMBAI SHANGHAI SINGAPORE Our two-year graduate development programme is designed to provide you with a structured series of rotations across business areas such as Credit, Operations/Contracts, Deals Desk and Trade Finance, ensuring that you have a comprehensive understanding of all areas of the business. The graduate programme encourages an entrepreneurial attitude where participants are highly visible and are expected to create opportunities for themselves through exponential performance and networking. Initial training is held in either Montevideo or Mumbai with all graduates globally spending the first one and a half rotations (12 months) in either location before then completing the programme (final 12 months) in the home location to which you applied or any location globally including, but not limited to: Geneva, Houston, Johannesburg, Moscow, Panama, Rio, Shanghai, Singapore and Stamford. You will be asked on application to indicate a (non committal) interest for a particular area: Corporate Finance, Deals Desk, Operations, Trade Finance, Mid-Downstream Supply, Warehousing and Logistics, but will complete rotations across three of the five areas before entering a chosen area, ensuring that on completion of the programme you enter your role with the full understanding of how each function operates and enhances the other in order to maximise profit potential for the group. As with all employees within the Trafigura group, opportunities for exceptional talent are unlimited and employees can expect to spend time in several locations globally (including some more remote), throughout their development either within their teams, across departments and throughout their career. This ensures they are equipped with the increased cultural awareness and business development skills required for a long term, successful career. It is worth noting that this is not a trading programme: Those looking to enter a commercial ( front line trading ) role should expect to spend several years within a department after completing the programme mastering the product specific techniques and skills that will ensure their long-term career, be it management or commercial, is enhanced to guarantee their full career potential. A minimum requirement of a 2:1 / 3.4 GPA (or equivalent) in any discipline and fluent English is essential.
