Glencore's critical support for Tesla
Swiss-based Glencore plc is one of the world's largest diversified natural resource companies with a vast, vertically integrated business encompassing the production, refinement, processing, storage, transport, and marketing of over 60 commodities, including critical metals like cobalt, copper, and nickel, as well as coal and oil. Notorious worldwide for rampant bribery, systemic corruption, and other acts of corporate malfeasance, Glencore insists to the press, regulators, and watchdog groups that its past sins won’t be repeated in its purported new era of transparency and virtuosity.
Within the Tesla supply chain, the company plays a pivotal, direct role as a key long-term supplier of critical battery raw materials as well as copper and nickel. Most significantly, Glencore has a multi-year agreement to supply Tesla with cobalt, a vital metal for stabilizing high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.
