independent panel of international experts, whose background and
experience include regulation, corporate leadership, trading and

categories, the winner of the "Global Metals Company of Year" award
needed to be fast-moving, adaptive, and concerned with the
provision, production, logistics and trading of the metals complex
as a whole. The range and extent of a company's
activities—its diversity, scope, technological innovation, and
