Continuing the journey
As we look toward 2026 and reach the midpoint of our 2023–2027 strategy, the Trafigura Foundation enters a pivotal moment of continuity and renewal – a time to take stock, strengthen what works, and recognise both how far we have come and how much remains to be done.
Our work continues to be rooted in the three interconnected areas explored in this report, guided by a defining principle: backing local organisations or solutions. With nearly four-fifths of our 2025 funding directed to them, we will keep elevating community leadership, helping partners adapt to shifting funding landscapes, and supporting them to sustain their activities in increasingly volatile environments.
In the years ahead, we will expand coalition-driven and innovative financing models that amplify impact – from traditional grants to impact investment funds – unlocking new opportunities across anticipatory disaster response, ocean and forest conservation, and climate-smart livelihoods. Our ambition to help mobilise USD 1 billion in resilience investment, unlocking three dollars for every one we contribute, remains central to our long-term agenda.
We will continue backing solutions that deliver measurable improvements for people and ecosystems: nature-based solutions, community-led conservation, and climate-smart food systems. We will deepen our work at the intersection of climate and conflict, where the need for stable and resilient livelihoods is often greatest, and broaden our focus to include health and water security – better addressing the multidimensional risks communities face.
Being a learning organisation remains central to how we work. We will continue convening partners and creating spaces for peer exchange and collective problem-solving because lasting resilience is built together. Listening to the communities and organisations we support is not a complement to our strategy; it is how we sharpen it.
Engagement across the Trafigura Group remains a vital part of this journey. Through volunteering, Charity Committees, and staff driven initiatives, colleagues worldwide will continue deepening the Foundation’s connection to local communities.
Our vision endures: a world in which individuals thrive and communities prosper within healthy, resilient ecosystems. In 2025, we reached half a million people; in 2026, we aim to go further and deeper – and we are grateful to the local organisations, global partners, and the Trafigura Group for making it possible.
Our ambition
Be the leading corporate philanthropy in climate adaptation, contributing to the mobilisation of USD 1 billion in resilience investments while scaling solutions that serve millions of people in low- and middle-income countries.
