The children featured in the Panorama programme do NOT work for Glencore or any of its subsidiaries. The copper ore produced is NOT purchased by Glencore or any of its subsidiaries. We have every measure in place to ensure that the copper ore they produce is NOT processed by Glencore or any of its subsidiaries. Glencore does NOT profit from child labour...Glencore only took control of the Luilu plant in mid 2009, but the river pollution has been going on there for more than 50 years. Glencore has spent millions of dollars addressing this issue, whilst also keeping the plant open to safeguard 6,500 jobs...Glencore takes its responsibilities very seriously and sustainability is an integral part of everything we do. We have created a framework to balance social, environmental, ethical and commercial interests at every level of our Group which we call Glencore Corporate Practice...Glencore does not have any involvement in artisanal mining in the DRC.
