James Nicholson | Episode 2: Commodity trading in the spotlight

The Natural Resources Podcast

Our second episode in this podcast series on responsible sourcing puts the spotlight on commodity traders – the invisible hand moving natural resources around the world.
Traders connect production from artisanal miners in DRC with global customers, and as such they are critical to improving the traceability and sustainability of cobalt supply chains.
To understand the virtues and faults of commodity traders, join our conversation with James Nicholson, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Trafigura.
