Glencore International Ag

We have our office at N-30 in South Extension - I. It's a well-known part of the city, so getting here isn't too hard, though finding parking can be a nightmare some days. This is where we handle the administrative side of our international trade business. It’s not like a shop where you walk in and buy things off a shelf. Instead, we’re mostly on computers and phones all day. We deal with commodities and large-scale supplies, which means a lot of contracts and legal documents pass through this office. It’s a bit more formal than a warehouse, but it still feels like a working space. There are piles of folders on most desks and the printer is usually running. We spend a lot of time talking to people in different time zones, so someone is often here early or staying late. It’s a quiet environment for the most part, except when a big deal is being finalized and things get a bit tense. We don't have a lot of walk-in traffic, but we stay busy with the global side of the business. The tea lady comes around twice a day, and that’s usually when we take a break. It’s just regular office work for the most part, focusing on the numbers and making sure the shipments across the sea are all accounted for. It's what keeps us going.
