Operating with integrity, everywhere we trade

Powering responsible, sustainable growth

Our aim is to make a positive difference to those we serve and to the communities where we operate and do business.

Our Sustainability Framework

Our aim is to make a positive difference to those we serve and to the world we share. We are commercially responsible, we operate to high health and safety standards, and we support the communities in which we work.

Caring for our Planet

Caring for our People

Caring for our Community

Each of our Sustainability Framework pillars contributes to the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals

Decarbonisation is an important priority in our mission, both to us and our global customers. Our determination to meet the highest ESG standards (environmental, social and corporate governance) led us to develop our Sustainability Framework.

To deliver our vision of empowering responsible, sustainable growth, our Sustainability Framework focuses on three objectives

Caring for our Planet

Our focus as a commodity trading company is on responsible sourcing, transparent supply chain practice, and reducing environmental harm where it is within our control to do so. 

Responsible supply chain

We work with suppliers and logistics partners who meet recognised environmental and safety standards. We assess the practices of our supply chain partners and favour those committed to continuous improvement.

Sustainable supply chain

We favour suppliers who operate to credible environmental standards, and we use our commercial relationships to encourage responsible practices at origin.

Biodiversity and land use

We are attentive to the origins of the commodities we trade and the land use practices of our supplier base. We continue to develop our approach as best practice in the industry evolves.

Caring for our People

Batyr is a human enterprise. Working together and caring for each other is central to the way we operate.

Welfare and wellbeing

Care for physical and mental health is core to our commitment. We work to support all team members, including flexible work, mental health resources, and access to health support when needed.

Safety standards

The safety and wellbeing of everyone in our supply chain matters to us. We work only with logistics partners and suppliers who uphold recognised health and safety standards.

Caring for our Community

We know we have a role to play in the communities where we trade and operate.

Safety standards in our markets

Industrial trading activity can deliver significant economic benefit to communities. We are attentive to this responsibility and act as a constructive presence in every market we serve.

Social rights and standards

Across all operations, we uphold the principles of internationally recognised human rights in line with the UN Global Compact. We do not tolerate forced labour, child labour, or discrimination in any form, in our own operations or across our supply chain. These are non-negotiable conditions of doing business with Batyr
