IN response to the needs of the victims of supertyphoon Yolanda, Glencore will donate US$2 million as relief aid through the Pasar Foundation, which is affiliated with Glencore’s Pasar operations in Isabel, Leyte.

Glencore chief executive officer Ivan Glasenberg said, “Typhoon Haiyan (more known as Yolanda) and its aftermath have had a devastating effect on the communities of the Philippines. We have a long standing relationship with the Philippines and its people. We hope that this donation will help all those involved with the relief effort in assisting local communities to recover from this catastrophic event. Our thoughts are with our employees, their families and all the communities that have been impacted by the typhoon.”
