February 18: Glencore : Preliminary Results 2019
Glencore's Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Glasenberg, commented: "Our performance in 2019 reflected the prolonged and uncertain trade deal negotiations, generally weaker prices for our key commodities and some operational challenges experienced at our ramp-up/development assets. Adjusted EBITDA declined 26% to $11.6 billion.
"Our Marketing business finished 2019 on a strong note, generating Adjusted EBIT of $2.4 billion, in line with 2018, with an excellent performance from oil and a stronger second half metals' contribution, helping to offset the cobalt headwinds experienced in the first half.

February 18: Glencore's commitment to a low-carbon economy
In February 2019, Glencore published its climate change position statement (position statement), Furthering our commitment to the transition to a low-carbon economy, which is available on our website.
Today we update our performance against our position statement and for the first time disclose a Scope 3 emissions projection for our business.
Key highlights include:
Paris-consistent strategy/capital discipline
We project a c.30% reduction in Absolute Scope 3 emissions by 2035. This includes natural depletion of our oil and coal resource base over time.
Our 2019 capital expenditure was weighted towards energy transition materials, including African copper and cobalt and nickel in Canada.
New Scope 1 and 2 targets
We are on track to achieve a near doubling our first GHG reduction target of reducing emissions intensity by at least 5% by 2020 compared to a 2016 base line. We expect to achieve a c.10% reduction.
New longer-term Scope 1 and 2 targets that support the Paris goals will be announced during 2020.
Alignment with TCFD
We continue to implement the recommendations of the TCFD in our annual reporting. Details of our performance will be published in our Annual Report 2019 in late February 2020.
We are incorporating climate change into operational planning, most recently in our new Tailings Storage Facility protocol.

Highlights
Own sourced copper production of 1,371,200 tonnes was 82,500 tonnes (6%) lower than in 2018. Approximately half of this (40,800 tonnes) related to the African Copper assets, with Katanga's ramp-up (+82,100 tonnes, meeting its full-year revised target) partially offsetting Mutanda scaling down and placement into temporary care and maintenance and Mopani's extensive smelter refurbishment shutdown. The remainder primarily comprised relatively minor portfolio changes and maintenance.

October 25 2019: Glencore: Third Quarter 2019 Production Report
Highlights
Own sourced copper production of 1,015,800 tonnes was 47,300 tonnes (4%) lower than the comparable prior period, mainly reflecting: (i) Mutanda's re-optimised 100,000 tonnes p.a. plan (from 200,000 tonnes), impacting the current period by 67,000 tonnes; (ii) Mopani's smelter shut for extensive refurbishment (21,600 tonnes of metal); and (iii) disposal/depletion of 2 South American assets in the base period (20,200 tonnes), partly offset by Katanga's ramp-up (66,500 tonnes favourable).
Own sourced cobalt production of 34,400 tonnes was 5,900 tonnes (21%) higher than the comparable prior period, primarily reflecting Katanga's ramp-up.
Own sourced zinc production of 809,200 tonnes was 23,100 tonnes (3%) higher than the comparable prior period, mainly reflecting the contribution of Lady Loretta mine (Mount Isa) and stronger production at McArthur River, partly offset by lower production from Antamina, basis an expected temporary transition to lower zinc-bearing areas of the mine, and a reduction at Kazzinc, mainly related to ground stability issues at Tishinsky mine.
Own sourced nickel production of 89,400 tonnes was slightly (2%) lower than the comparable prior period, mainly relating to Koniambo, which experienced a challenging H1 2019 ramp-up period.
Attributable ferrochrome production of 1,030,000 tonnes was 115,000 tonnes (10%) lower than the comparable prior period, mainly relating to additional maintenance days undertaken in Q3 2019.
Coal production of 104.0 million tonnes was 7.3 million tonnes (8%) higher than the comparable prior period, mainly reflecting the full year effect of the HVO and Hail Creek acquisitions in 2018, and higher production at Prodeco following its increased mine development in 2018, partly offset by lower production from Cerrejon, due to dust constraints.
