Commodities trader Glencore International plc, which listed in London earlier this year has published its first sustainability report.
The group also used the launch to announce its support for the Extractive Industries Transparancy Initiative.
Glencore currently operates in four EITI candidate countries (the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, Peru and Kazakhstan), and has become an EITI supporting company.
In this role the group said it will take part in EITI's global governance through its in-country operations and through industry associations.
Glencore provided examples of this work, including at Mopani in Zambia, where malaria control and education programmes have reduced the incidence of malaria at mining sites and surrounding communities by over 85% in the past 10 years.
Chief executive Ivan Glasenberg commented: "This report details many areas of great sustainability performance at Glencore, and also areas where we are working hard to do better".
