Corporate Vision Best Commodity Trading Company 2025 – MEA Inspiring the Middle East and Africa
Global Business Awards 2025 | 5 The History of Commodity Trading Before the world was as we know it now, trading was incredibly difficult and expensive. Then came boats, trains, planes, and road vehicles which facilitated the easier, quicker, and less expensive transportation and trading of commodities which are integral to our lives. Commodities are crucial to investors for diversifying portfolios beyond traditional securities, especially as the prices of commodities often move in the opposite direction of stocks. This usually means that investors can rely on returns from commodities during periods of market volatility, ensuring that ROI can be experienced in a more rounded manner. As commodities are sorted into the broad categories mentioned above, it is important to remember humankind’s deeply rooted economic experience whereby food, energy, and materials were harvested and traded as co-existing communities. Commodity trading has always played a pivotal role in driving economic growth through its support of various communities both past and present. This role bolsters various companies across the corporate landscape and creates an abundance of employment opportunities, while contributing to each country or region’s revenue and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Of course, GDP is significant as a tool for traders to understand market trends in order to make informed decisions for the current moment and the future to come which is an essential part of the trading industry. Commodity trading is not simply exchanging goods, it is an industry which needs to be expertly planned, organised, and nurtured in order to take advantage of the latest technological advancements to increase global trade volume. It is a way forward for many regions as they look to trading companies and investment companies who can do it all, to build up their communities and society as a whole. Introducing Fraser Legacy Holdings Forming a strategy for effective trading is no small feat, but, built on the foundation of sustainability and security, Fraser Legacy Holdings is proud to be part of the empowerment of entrepreneurs as contributors to the economy across its region. Pushing forward to encourage and enhance local production and manufacturing, with sourcing locally as a first preference, built on strong principles focusing on sustainability, job security and creation, community engagement, and regeneration.

Investing in its own people, and the people of the surrounding communities, the company is proud to be part of the all-important economic rehabilitation. This ultimately helps communities to come together, construct a sturdy economy, and truly thrive. With its operations structured around four core strategic divisions, Fraser Legacy Holdings’ work is expertly designed to function effectively on a local and international scale. The company’s values are constructed on a bed of integrity and ethics, transparency and accountability, innovation and adaptability, collaboration and respect, and sustainability/long term perspective. Through its Commodity trading has a longstanding, rich history behind it. As an ancient profession, commodity trading, across metal, energy, livestock, and agricultural products, has been at the very core of human existence since the dawn of our time. With so many ways to trade commodities, for a sustainable business environment, Fraser Legacy Holdings houses its individual companies to facilitate and nurture growth across multiple markets. We explore the business’ contribution to the trading sphere as it wins its title in our Global Business Awards 2025. stewardship, performance excellence, value creation, integrity and trust, innovation and growth mindset, and responsible governance, Fraser Legacy Holdings is truly dedicated to expansion and the satisfaction of its clients. “At Fraser Legacy Holdings, our values are not just a guide — they are the foundation upon which our legacy continues to grow.” Integrity and Ethics By building trust between itself and its investors, partners, and employees, Fraser Legacy Holdings works tirelessly to lower the risk of reputational damage and ensures compliance, all to enrich the realm of holding companies and investments overall.

By being fully transparent, the business has built a strong network of investors who each experience the highest level of service and diversity to support their ROI. Innovation and Adaptability Responding to ever-changing markets, Fraser Legacy Holdings continues to seize new opportunities to increase its diverse portfolio. This ultimately helps it to expand its offerings and deliver its seasoned expertise for investors to benefit from. Sustainability and Long Term Vision This segment of Fraser Legacy Holdings’ core values has resulted in the commitment to long-term planning. In terms of business, especially in trading, it is of utmost importance that organisations aren’t blinkered and only focused on the present time, as planning ahead well into the pipeline of the future continues to help companies to expand their portfolios and scope of the corporate landscape.
Corporate Vision Collaboration and Respect Finally, this core value propels Fraser Legacy Holdings much further than some of its competitors as this valuable focus helps it to work with multiple stakeholders. From different companies to boards, management, and external partners, this award-winning company is staying abreast of any changes, challenges, and opportunities for itself and its collaborations. Fraser Legacy Holdings’ systemic problem solving, alignment and resource leverage, risk management and opportunity mining, and its outstanding mindset and culture, along with many more qualities that never take the backburner. Inspiring Growth Fraser Legacy Holdings increases import and export trade while reducing the market costs of products imported and redistributed to the local markets. Through its business management, commodity and natural resources trading portfolio, the firm empowers its clients with the correct frameworks so that the Middle East and Africa can flourish. Encouraging this growth, Fraser Legacy Holdings works with coal, oil and gas, fertilizer, and sugar as its product range. It is focused on these central offerings in a way that allows it to completely understand each product’s entire lifecycle from production to its end resale, and how the products impact the region’s revenue and GDP. Supplying to the International Market For example, well positioned in the international market for the production and sales of fertilizer, Fraser Legacy Holdings works with agricultural products on fixed term allocations. Its allocations are a result of purchases directly from refineries and, through these contracts, the company is able to fulfil its duties of trading fertilizer on a CIF basis and in the correct packaging for each destination in specific markets. With a roster of subsidiaries, Fraser Legacy Holdings supports a huge amount of trading, business management, and investment. From Legacy Telecoms to Fraser Legacy Mining, Fraser Legacy Investments to Fraser Estates, and many more, the parent company is brimming with ways to manage and grow assets in a sustainable and fair way. Fraser Legacy Fuels, a subsidiary of the firm, is a prominent contributor to the international supplies of fuel. Supplying over 5 million metric tons per month on a CIF basis, from secure providers of fuel in Jurong, Fujairah, Rotterdam, and Galveston, Fraser Legacy Fuels makes a huge economic impact for suppliers and end users. Fraser Legacy Holdings is well positioned in the sugar market in South Africa where it imports sugar from Brazil, in addition to being able to supply on an international basis. With over 2000 sugarcane farms working for its allocations via contacts in excess of 1,800,000 metric tons per month, the firm uses its established off take agreements and planned production strategies to supply to different communities around the world. Supplying sugar products which meet international standards, and assured via internationally accredited testing companies, Fraser Legacy Holdings ensures that the product is suitable and reliable through controlled contract management for a complete solution. The company is also able to supply coal across a variety of regions from pit to port under Incoterm 2020 FOB and CIF. Its products always meet the SCOTA specification of RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4, and Anthrocite, and its aforementioned off take agreements and planned production continue to push it to the forefront within its industry. Investments Made Easier Atop the commodities on offer, Fraser Legacy Investments is a UAE registered trade finance company providing support to organisations which may be unable to obtain facilities for many reasons. As the subsidiary has facilities with many top banking providers in the world, Fraser Legacy Investments is able to empower businesses by reviewing and discussing applications which can make all the difference to their transactions. Although this type of trading traditionally required more time, money, and expertise, we now live in a world where commodity trading is more simple than it have ever been. The company is able to arrange SBLC, LC, and DLC for trading businesses so that buying and selling parties can have a mutually beneficial, symbiotic relationship without costing the earth. Fraser Legacy Investments is well-equipped to help businesses to trade from Africa while navigating the banking regulations and local economies which may be a hindrance to a transaction. In this respect, Fraser Legacy Holdings’ subsidiary companies are delivering more empowerment to the people of the MEA region so that more communities can take advantage of the market and while growing the economy for everyone to benefit from – equally, sustainably, and ethically. Also providing financial and operational expertise to the infrastructure, construction, and mining industries, Fraser Legacy Holdings is a recognised for its financial partners’ work across the integral sectors. With years of experience behind the firm, its future is looking incredibly bright – both for its own growth and the expansion of the trading community across the MEA region. The Future of Commodity Trading In recent years, commodity traders have focused on high volatility markets whereas the emerging curve in the industry is to focus on leaner industry margins. Due to the boom years of 2022 and 2023, the volatility levels soared and caused an increase in industry margins which inspired many people to grow their capabilities in trading. Due to this response, 2024 saw traders facing higher levels of competition and pressure which now requires new tools and revised operating strategies to quantify and manage both price exposure and risks. As the trading market has always experienced extreme highs and lows, it takes a dedicated individual and groups of individuals to take the lead. Trading commodities can seem like the unknown, uncertain, and full of risk but, with Fraser Legacy Holdings, everything can be organised and managed expertly and strategically so that our economy, and our communities, can feel more steady. As the future beckons, Fraser Legacy Holdings stands strong in its position as an innovator and supporter of integral communities. Margins are currently receding to a point where traders can run leaner and work even harder to build the profits they are looking for. Fraser Legacy Holdings is no stranger to working hard, and it does so tirelessly so that it can impact its industry and the communities which it touches. Pioneering Digital Transformation “Looking ahead, Fraser Legacy Holdings is preparing for an exciting period of growth. Over the next 12 months, we anticipate the launch of new property developments, the formation of strategic partnerships and the advancement of sustainability initiatives. We are also investing in technology to enhance operational transparency and expanding into new markets with a focus on long-term community and environmental impact. “Digital transformation and PropTech are changing how properties are marketed and managed: virtual tours, online contracts and data-driven valuation tools are now mainstream, while AI and advanced analytics are improving site selection and investment decisions.” We have recently awarded Fraser Legacy Holdings with the esteemed title of Best Commodity Trading Company 2025 – MEA and we’re delighted to predict its success well into the years to come, especially as it focuses on empowering others through everything that its team does.

This alignment has helped us maintain a spotless record; we’ve never faced a complaint from a regulatory body in over 26 years.” This impactful sales outsourcing process would be very little without the sales professionals behind it, with these individuals being the beating heart of Sales Focus.

Corporate Vision Selling both its namesake brand – which offers items such as jumpsuits, custom helmets, sports clothing, accessories, and technical equipment for aerial sports – as well as being a Tonfly, Parasport, VIPLO, TFX helmets, and Kroops goggles dealer, Multi Blue Paradise is a one-stop shop for everything related to skydiving. As well the store, the business also organises sports and professional events, partnering with the likes of FlyIn Liege and Aérokart, two of Europe’s premier free-fall simulators, as it goes. Whilst most of the customers served by Multi Blue Paradise are based in its home nation of Belgium and neighbouring France, the company also boasts regulars from as close as Germany and Luxembourg and as far away as South America and the United States. These individuals range from total beginners and amateurs through to professional athletes, reflecting the commitment to accessibility at the heart of this company. This is something Maryse is incredibly passionate about, given her own experiences. Having suffered from severe scoliosis since childhood, a visible condition that has resulted in her having to both confront the gaze and deal with the opinions of others, Maryse learnt early on the challenges people with such vulnerabilities face. The initial idea for Multi Blue Paradise even stemmed from her being unable to find a comfortable jumpsuit, evolving from there. Maryse commented: “Who would have imagined that my disability would allow me to open the first Belgian boutique for a world-renowned skydiving brand?” Multi Blue Paradise is distinguished for a number of reasons, beginning with its retail point, which allows customers to have their measurements taken for equipment such as helmets and suits, whilst being able to speak with experts. Then comes the e-shop – the only online store of its kind in Belgium – and the fact that the boutique’s eponymous brand is the first in the country to offer its own line of jumpsuits and accessories. Finally, it has secured sponsorships with the likes of Juan Carlos Ortiz, a famed Belgian indoor skydiving athlete. “It was great recognition for us to support this athlete for the first time at a world competition and to highlight the Tonfly-brand suit, the Tonfly TFX helmet, and the gloves and accessories from Multi Blue Paradise”, Maryse told us. “This was a huge source of pride for our small Belgian company.” This full-face helmet is the e-store’s flagship product, and this company is the only reseller of it in the region. Not only has this helmet changed style norms, it has also set new standards for comfort and safety thanks to its features. As this shows, Multi Blue Paradise takes the selection of its suppliers and sponsors very seriously. From thorough research of a partner brand to having potential sponsors fill in applications detailing their credentials, Maryse takes the necessary initiatives to preserve the integrity of her business, doubling down on its primary focus area of indoor skydiving, indoor, skydiving of the future (which is much better for the environment than outdoor skydiving). On the back of this, Multi Blue Paradise has recently started organising sporting and professional events again, something it put on hold with Multi Blue Paradise is both an online store and a skydiving brand established in early 2019. Set up by Maryse Lessire, a 53-year-old legal advisor and solo entrepreneur, the business marked a change in her career – which began following her introduction to the world of indoor skydiving. Through Multi Blue Paradise, it is Maryse’s aim to make skydiving accessible to all, providing tailored equipment and accessories as well as technical assistance and both mental and physical support for her customers. On the back of this recognition, we caught up with Maryse for more. Best Online Skydiving Boutique 2025 the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Examples include ‘skydiving simulator evenings’, which bring people together to help improve their flight techniques and boost customer loyalty. As well as this, Maryse is excited to introduce a mental health coaching service next year, which will sit alongside the physical and mental preparation support it already offers. Ultimately, all of the above demonstrates that Multi Blue Paradise is something truly special in this space, something especially true of its online boutique. The only Belgian store with its own brand run by a recognised disabled woman, its success primarily comes from the innovation of its services, its strong values, and the provision of a convenient online store with a human aspect. Combined, this makes the company more than fitting of being named the Best Online Skydiving Boutique 2025 in this programme.

GSlmo ba al l l BBuussi inneessss AAwwaarrddss 22002235 | | 1133 Paul put it: “In our line of work, you need to be a true jackof-all-trades. It’s not something you can learn in school — it’s something you either have or you don’t.” The team face new challenges every day working in remote, unpredictable locations, navigating everything from weather to last-minute changes. Flexibility is therefore necessary, with Paul and co. having a knack for coming up with creative solutions when things do not quite go to plan. “The more challenging an expedition, the stronger the friendships become”, added Paul. On the back of the strong team he has built over the years, along with his passion for horses and adventure, Paul told us that he truly believes he has the best job in the world, a view also shared by the other members of his team. For Paul, everything about the job is perfect: visiting incredible places, immersing himself in fascinating cultures, and meeting remarkable people with whom he boasts life-long partnerships. However, the most beautiful thing for them is the connection they forge with guests from around the world. “In a single group of 12 riders, we might have ten different nationalities”, Paul explained, “from Bahrain to Finland, Pakistan to the UK, Australia to the USA. And yet, on horseback, we become equals, friends, companions on a shared adventure.” It is for this reason that, across all of the horseback riding expeditions worldwide offered by Entre Orejas, Paul always lives by the same motto: “When the stirrups touch, the friendship is forever.” More information about these multi-award-winning international horseback vacations with local guides can be found using the link below. Contact: Paul Coudenys Company: Entre Orejas Web Address: https://www.entreorejas.org/ Instagram: @Entre_Orejas Sharing some of the most remote and fascinating regions in Latin America – from the Pantanal tropical wetland in Brazil to the wild plains of Colombia and the high peaks of the Andes – and beyond, Entre Orejas offers curious, openminded travellers cultural horseback riding tours like no other. Experienced riders love to channel their passion into something beyond a standard holiday, and this company offers them the chance to do exactly that, delivering real, authentic experiences that promote tourism as a force for good. From meeting local people and staying on family-run farms to riding with real-life cowboys, these adventures allow visitors to support local communities and the environments they inhabit, preserving age-old traditions rather than replacing them. This, combined with Entre Orejas refusing to offer standard packages and instead building tailored experiences for every client, sees the human connection kept at the heart of every journey. As Paul explained to us, Entre Orejas happened almost by accident – the result of him travelling the world at 21 and working with horses wherever he could. Whether he was shoeing horses in Europe, working on ranches in Australia, or living as a gaucho in South America, Paul rode in too many countries and worked in too many places to count. It was during this period that he discovered what really mattered in life, with these values of freedom, connection, and rich experience being reflected across Entre Orejas. Exploring this further, Paul shared: “Our clients often have more material wealth than we do as guides – but we’re rich in something else: in life experience, in stories, in human connection, and in understanding what truly matters. And that’s exactly what they come looking for. I don’t need to consciously remind myself to act according to my values — they’re just part of who I am. And because Entre Orejas grew from those values, they naturally flow into every decision, every new trip, and every partnership.” Of course, the small team here embody these values to the full, and these individuals have proven crucial to the company’s success over the last 30 years. Not only are they all excellent horsemen and horsewomen – sharing decades of riding experience – but they are also world travellers, capable of speaking at least four languages each, and have unmatched knowledge of the areas they visit. They are also the people behind the adventures, carrying out the admin, logistics, accounting, and marketing that makes them all possible. Renowned for offering the ultimate travel-in-the-saddle experience across Latin America and beyond, Entre Orejas is a unique company specialising in unique, off-the-beaten-track horseback riding adventures to some of the world’s most exciting destinations. The team here primarily deliver small-group rides for international clients, affording them an unforgettable – and ethical – tourist experience. Paul Coudenys, the man at the reins, was on hand to tell us more. Best Sustainable Horseback Expedition Company 2025 – LATAM & Ethical Tourism Excellence Award 2025 AIS-Aug25040
Corporate Vision The story of CELLER8 began with Andy Smith, who developed severe stomach pains while travelling in Australia. After inconclusive diagnoses in both Australia and the UK, Andy collapsed and required emergency surgery. Following this, he continued to face health challenges, which sparked his search for additional ways to support his recovery. During this time, Andy discovered PEMF therapy and began using a PEMF mat regularly. He noticed meaningful improvements, which inspired him to introduce PEMF technology to the UK through NewMed Ltd. For nearly a decade, Andy gained invaluable industry experience, working closely with a range of PEMF devices. Over time, he recognised that there wasn’t a single product that met all the needs of users. This led to the creation of CELLER8, a solution designed to combine the most effective aspects of existing PEMF technology into one all-in-one device. After six years of research and development, CELLER8 launched in 2022, built on principles of intention, innovation, and integrity. Today, CELLER8 is recognised as a market leader offering versatile PEMF solutions that integrate easily into modern lifestyles. The company’s flagship product blends full-body and localised PEMF therapy, with the option to combine red light therapy through its Biohacker Packages.

Global Business Awards 2025 | 15 Working primarily in Turkey, Cyprus, and across the Eastern Mediterranean, Elmacıoğlu Law Office was established by the namesake Bilun Elmacıoğlu in 2016. In the almost ten years since, the firm has provided its wide range of legal services to clients all over the world, delivering them according to the values of trust, quality, high morals, and ethics that run throughout the business. Upholding these values is the team of experienced lawyers behind the firm – young, motivated, and talented individuals focused on positive outcomes. The woman heading up this team, Bilun has worked in law for more than two decades now, and her expertise across areas such as maritime law and logistics, energy law, commercial and corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, foreign investment/project finance, and labour law makes her firm the one-stop shop for legal excellence in Turkey and beyond.

It is for this reason that the firm also specialises in alternative dispute resolution, offered in the form of services such as mediation and afforded in international disputes, as well as labour law, maritime, and energy issues. Alternative dispute resolution is often the preferred path for clients, as it allows them to reach an agreement much more amicably and efficiently than through litigation, which can be a stressful and time-consuming process. However, this is not to say there is a reluctance to go to court and fight when necessary. This makes the firm the partner of choice for clients from across the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond, especially when it comes to maritime law, the area for which Elmacıoğlu Law Office has been recognisedinthisprogramme.Thefirm’sexpertiseinthissettingcomes from the first-hand knowledge Bilun accrued working with shipowner companies, making its legal support and assistance concerning cargo claims, maritime contracts, ship sale and purchase, charter disputes, shipbuilding projects, and more grounded in experience. “We provide our legal services mostly to the foreign shipowners whose vessels are sailing around the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean. We have partners all over that we collaborate with whenever our clients have needs in these jurisdictions.” Bilun’s enthusiasm for maritime law dates back more than 20 years, to her first role as a lawyer for a local firm working in Istanbul. During her time in this position, Bilun focused particularly on the sale and purchase of ships, as well as cargo claims and the incorporation of ship registries.

Corporate Vision Founded in Finland in 2005, Lunette has pursued a clear mission: to transform menstrual care by offering a product that is safe, sustainable, and inclusive. Its first menstrual cup quickly gained global recognition for combining comfort, practicality, and environmental responsibility – setting a new standard in menstrual health. Over the years, Lunette has expanded its offering to include select products in the field of intimate hygiene, designed to support everyday comfort, cleanliness, and confidence. While the product line has evolved, Lunette’s core values remain unchanged: sustainability, education, body positivity, and inclusion continue to guide every decision, from plastic-free packaging to initiatives aimed at ending menstrual poverty. “We are proud to stand with those who believe period care should be a right, not a privilege.” “Our values are not just part of our brand; they shape how we show up every day,” Aleksandra told us. “From the materials we choose to the way we speak about bodies, we make sure our actions reflect our commitment to sustainability, education, and inclusion. We do not shy away from difficult conversations – we lean into them. Period stigma and lack of access to safe products are global challenges, but we see them as powerful opportunities to educate, connect, and uplift.” Through its charity arm, The Cup Foundation, Lunette puts these principles into practice – donating one Lunette Period Cup for every cup sold. The company works directly with communities where period poverty is most severe because these programmes are not only about providing products, but also about restoring dignity, building trust, and ensuring that no one misses school, work, or general life because of their period. Each donation made is paired with inclusive training provided by the local organization on the field or in the class room, supervised by The Cup/Lunette team, as well as easy-to-follow educational materials that help individuals understand their bodies and cycles with confidence. What’s more, Lunette has contributed to groundbreaking research in recent years by providing period cups for the Astro Cup Project – an initiative led by Liga Fonseca Coelho from Cornell University, supported by an outstanding team of scientists and engineers from Técnico Lisboa. In a world-first move in October 2022, period cups supplied by Lunette were sent into space, aboard a suborbital rocket to test their performance under space conditions, including exposure to microgravity. The cups did not leak, break, or become contaminated during their journey. This was a significant milestone for space and menstrual health alike, potentially eliminating the need for the hormone suppression that many menstruating astronauts must undergo before they depart. A pioneer of menstrual care, Lunette Cups are now sold across the globe, reaching an ever-expanding community of users worldwide. Menstrual care is a part of everyday life for billions of people around the world, and yet the products and conversations surrounding it have often lagged behind. As expectations shift towards safer, more sustainable, and better-designed options, brands are responding with practical solutions that reflect the population’s real needs. Lunette is a leading menstrual care company offering reusable products that prioritise comfort, transparency, and long-term wellbeing, helping people to manage their periods with confidence and autonomy. Co-Owner and CEO, Aleksandra Oklińska shared more below, as Lunette is named in the Global Business Awards 2025. Best Menstrual Care Brand 2025 Since its inception, Lunette has served as a trailblazer in the realm of intimate care, earning a remarkable reputation for reshaping the future of menstrual health and care. Ultimately, Lunette aims to create a more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable landscape – as demonstrated by its ongoing efforts with The Cup Foundation, and its recent 2025 transition to plastic-free packaging. Named the Best Menstrual Care Brand 2025, Lunette has built a close-knit, global community through honest conversations, shared experiences, and active listening, always striving to improve and innovate its offerings in alignment with the community’s needs. Looking to the future, Lunette plans to deepen its partnerships with grassroots organisation, educators, and changemakers, with the aim of expanding access to eco-friendly period care for all. “The menstrual health space is evolving, and we are proud to be part of shaping that change,” Aleksandra announced. “At Lunette, we have long championed what many now call trends: gender-inclusive period care, zero-waste design, and body-positive representation. Our goal isn’t to follow what is trending; it is to set new standards for what ethical, inclusive, and climate-conscious intimate health can be.” Contact: Aleksandra Oklińska Company: Lunette Sp. z o.o.
