Mercuria

Mercuria, a Swiss-based diversified group, is a global leader in providing energy solutions and is committed to spearheading the energy transition. The company specializes in trading and supplying physical commodities, investing in strategic assets, providing financing and logistics services, and offering solutions to help clients meet their needs, including net-zero goals.

Notably, Mercuria has strategically grown through acquisitions, including the trading unit of JPMorgan Chase & Company and Noble Group’s US gas and power business. In recent years, the company has shifted focus towards advancing the energy transition through investments in renewables, biofuels, technology metals, electric vehicle infrastructure, and environmental and carbon management products. Additionally, Mercuria supports several ESG-focused initiatives, including a program to improve the health and wellbeing of Earth’s oceans in partnership with Hub Ocean.

Today, Mercuria operates in over 50 countries on 5 continents, with a team of over 1100 people from more than 40 nationalities. The company generates revenues of over $100 bn and remains independent and privately owned by its founders, employees, and a group of strategic investors.

The co-founders, Marco Dunand and Daniel Jaeggi, have a longstanding partnership, dating back to their early careers at Cargill International and subsequent roles at Goldman Sachs’s J. Aron trading unit, Salomon Brothers, and Sempra Energy before founding Mercuria in 2004.

This solidifies Mercuria's position as one of the largest privately-owned commodities trading businesses globally, with a focus on sustainable energy practices and a robust, globally distributed operational infrastructure.
