In brief

EU-27: 7 plants in scope; controlling entity established for 100.0% (7). Outside the EU – 28.6% of plants with an established controller (2); largest: Japan 1, Switzerland 1.

The sentence is generated from the register data whenever the page is displayed – the numbers match the blocks below, the .md and the .json.

Value-chain link × region of the controller

Number of plants and share of the plants in the link (row = 100%). Colour intensity – share; clicking a cell shows these plants in the table.

¹ Crown Dependencies (Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man) are shown separately: this is the legal seat of the ultimate parent, which may differ from the place of management (e.g. the parent company of Glencore – legal seat in Jersey, headquarters in Baar, Switzerland). EFTA and United Kingdom: Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, United Kingdom. North America: United States, Canada, Mexico. Other countries: all countries outside the EU, EFTA, the United Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies, North America and Asia – e.g. European countries outside the EU (such as Serbia, Turkey), Australia, South America, Africa. * Share controlled from outside the EU among plants in the link with an established controller.

Map of plants

Plants in scope

Every plant with its controlling entity, country and basis: GLEIF (class A) or a company document (class of the group record).

Method note

Control as defined by GLEIF Level 2

The ultimate parent is the entity that prepares consolidated financial statements including the company (accounting consolidation – IFRS 10, US GAAP or equivalent standards). Control in this sense is not an equity stake or a share of votes; minority stakes and joint control are not visible here.

Legal seat and place of management

The controlling country is the country of the legal seat of the ultimate parent in its LEI record. It may differ from the actual place of management: the parent company of Glencore has its legal seat in Jersey (a Crown Dependency) and its headquarters in Baar, Switzerland. Crown Dependencies therefore form a separate column.

GLEIF exceptions

A company without a reported parent states a reason. Natural persons, no known controlling person or a parent that does not consolidate the company – the company controls itself (country of the company). Parent without an LEI or information not public – controlling entity not established. Where a group record in company documents names another parent company (exceptions are also reported by subsidiaries), that company is the controller – as for groups from company documents.

Groups from company documents

Companies without a GLEIF relationship assigned to a group according to company documents or an editorial decision – lower certainty (class B or C). Country – from the GLEIF legal address of the parent company of the group where it is in the register and has an LEI; otherwise “group from company documents, country not established” (the country of the plants does not tell where the owner is). The “GLEIF only” filter counts these plants as not established.

Coverage

Share of plants with an established controlling entity. The share controlled from outside the EU is computed among these plants; if the plants not established are distributed differently, the result shifts. Lower bound – the share among all plants in scope (under the key figures).

Counting unit

One plant = one unit, not weighted by capacity or output. Operating, idled and under-construction plants; closed plants and plants of unknown status are out of scope.
