Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking has a global approach to the commodities world in terms of diversification of commodities, regions and products. In addition to the core team located in Paris and London, teams of professionals work in New York, Singapore, Sydney, Toronto, Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Shanghai covering the worldwide nature of commodities.

We are active in the full spectrum of commodities sectors. In hard commodities, we finance a wide range of metals (base, precious, steel, etc.) and energy products. We are also heavily involved in soft commodities, such as grains and tropical agriculturals.

Furthermore, we cover the entire spectrum of commodities flows from origins to destinations, providing a full range of finance structures and solutions for producers, traders, processors and end-users of commodities:

• 'Metals & mining finance' concentrates on cash flow risk for small- to medium-size mining clients, as well as on the corporate needs of industry leaders.
• 'Structured commodity finance' deals with emerging market commodity producers.
• 'Corporate commodity finance' provides commodity trading companies, processors and distributors in OECD countries with commodity-related financing together with traditional corporate finance.
• 'Experts in the 'trade finance' team offer exporters and traders protection against non-payment risk on export receivables and offer importers in emerging countries structured financing.
