Glencore Agriculture Italy gains Good Trading Practices certification Our business in Italy has achieved certification under the Good Trading Practices (GTP) code, demonstrating our commitment to delivering safe food and feed products to our customers. It is the most recent part of Glencore Agriculture to be certified under the code and adds to the growing list of regions which have achieved an equivalent type of food and feed safety certification. GTP is a certification system designed to ensure safe food and feed products are supplied to the market in Europe. One of its most important principles is application of the HACCP system to ensure that hazards which may be present in food and feed products are properly considered and mitigated. To achieve certification, Glencore Agriculture Italy reviewed its quality management system, ensured all requirements of the GTP code were implemented, and successfully completed a certification audit. The certification is valid for three years and an independent auditing body will perform a yearly verification audit to ensure our business practices meet customer requirements. Biopetrol expands laboratory capability Our Biopetrol Rotterdam business has expanded its laboratory capability to detect traces of the chemical 3-monochloropropane diol (3-MCPD) in refined oil and glycerine to ensure we continue providing customers with the highest quality products. In recent years, there has been increasing concern about traces of the chemical and related substances in some processed foods, vegetable oils and refined glycerine, which are formed unintentionally particularly during oil refining processes. We are a leading supplier of the highest quality refined glycerin in Europe. In order to continue to guarantee that quality standard to our customers in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, our Biopetrol Rotterdam business has expanded its laboratory capabilities with our own equipment capable of detecting even minor traces in both refined oil and glycerin. The quality of rawmaterials and final products can now be monitored and assured in a timely manner. Glencore Agriculture Sustainability Report 2019 26
