For Commodity Trading Professionals

If you represent a commodity trading enterprise headquartered in Canton of Zug or the broader Swiss commodity ecosystem, we welcome opportunities for informed engagement. This includes on-the-record interviews, data-sharing for analytical purposes, executive commentary on market developments, and factual verification of company-specific reporting. ZUG Oil maintains strict editorial independence — engagement with industry does not guarantee favorable coverage — but we believe informed dialogue between publishers and practitioners strengthens the analytical quality of our intelligence output.

For Zug Commodity Association (ZCA) members and SUISSENÉGOCE-affiliated organizations, we offer priority editorial access for market commentary and industry developments. Contact editorial@zugoil.com with your ZCA or SUISSENÉGOCE membership reference.

Whistleblower & Confidential Submissions

ZUG Oil accepts confidential submissions from individuals with knowledge of regulatory violations, environmental non-compliance, financial misconduct, or other matters of public interest within the Swiss commodity trading sector. We adhere to Swiss media source protection law (Art. 28a Swiss Criminal Code) and will not disclose the identity of confidential sources without explicit written consent. Encrypted communication options are available upon request.

Academic & Research Collaboration

ZUG Oil actively engages with academic institutions researching Swiss commodity trading, global supply chain governance, resource economics, and energy transition dynamics. We have established working relationships with researchers at HSLU (Lucerne University of Applied Sciences), ETH Zurich, the University of Geneva, and the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. We welcome invitations to participate in academic panels, contribute to research publications as industry practitioners, provide data access for peer-reviewed studies, and collaborate on commodity market education initiatives.

Doctoral candidates and graduate researchers studying Swiss commodity trading are encouraged to contact us for background interviews, data verification, and industry context. We recognize that rigorous academic research strengthens public understanding of the commodity sector and contributes to evidence-based policy development. Please email editorial@zugoil.com with your institutional affiliation, research topic, and specific information requirements.
