Africa Owned and Operating Intercontinentally

Swift Petrotrade has an experienced trading team, operating across the industry capitalizing on both trading and selective investment opportunities. We strategize to source products directly from major refineries and from other major international petroleum and petrochemical trading companies primarily in NWE & MED for West African (WAF) supplies and in the Middle East for Eastern and Southern African supplies. Controlled from our Head Office in Mauritius, our trading desks work with judicious management of market, credit and foreign exchange risks.

How We Operate

We conduct business under an integrated ESG Management Framework because we recognize the long-lasting impact our decisions have on people, communities, and the environment.

Corporate Governance

Governance Structure

Swift Petrotrade has adopted a one-tier model of Board of Directors. This model has only one body instead of two separate ones. The body consists of Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors. The Executive Directors are in charge of the daily management, but are supported intensively by the Non-Executive Directors. The Board meets regularly to discuss and review reports on the business and the company’s strategies. Together, they bring a wide range of business, commercial and other relevant experience. The Board is confident that there is an appropriate representation of proficiency, capabilities, knowledge, independence and diversity of background amongst the members to carry out duties and responsibilities effectively.

Our Stakeholders

We work primarily with refineries owned by national oil companies, oil majors, independent oil refineries, airline companies, power generation plants, shipping companies and other bulk end-users. We focus on all members of the supply chain from the refineries to the end-users such as using best in class logistics whether it’s a ship, barge, pipeline or truck to move oil efficiently and effectively.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Swift Petrotrade Group is socially responsible. We have keen interest in Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) related issues in the regions in which we operate. As a responsible international petroleum and petrochemical trading company, Swift Petrotrade has developed an environmental approach to control the impact of its activities and will continually deploy social, human and economic actions close to local populations and national authorities.

The international trading activities of Swift Petrotrade will certainly impact on the environment. These impacts may take the form of fire hazards, leakages and spillages, which could result in the contamination and eventual pollution of surface and ground water or emission of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) leading to the destruction of the ozone layer. Swift Petrotrade being mindful of these negative environmental impacts has developed a comprehensive Corporate Environmental Policy (CEP) Document to guide its operations. The Corporate Environmental Policy of Swift Petrotrade thoroughly outlines the company’s commitment towards sustainability, environmental protection, human and property safety.

VACANCIES

I have been doing business with the team at Star Front for a couple of years. We send an antifreeze type solution to China for various construction projects. To say that shipment dates, money transfers and confusion to quantities requires multiple changes before the project is actually shipped is an understatement.They takes every one of my changes with a positive attitude and a professional manner. Their flexibility and expertise in arranging my freight to get to its Chinese destination in a predictable and timely manner does what every manager hopes for. They make me look good.
