About us

Thames Group is a family-owned commodities trading firm primarily focused on Sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2005, we have served as distributors of mineral and industrial fertilizers sourced from top global manufacturers. Over the years, we diversified our portfolio to include other essential commodities like wheat.

Our head office in Dubai, UAE enables us to efficiently source, trade, and ship products across all African markets.

  • Thames Group recognizes the unique ESG challenges faced by Africa, such as poverty, hunger, and inequality. In response, we uphold a robust governance structure that actively addresses these issues through our policies, rules, operational practices, and organizational culture. Our aim is not just to be a sustainable entity but to make a positive, lasting impact on the African communities we serve, thereby benefitting all stakeholders.

  • We carefully select our partner companies — those who supply products and services that enhance our delivery standards. It's essential to us that they are not only aligned with global ESG best practices but are also sensitive to the specific needs and challenges of African communities. Their commitment to practices within ESG and HSEC (Health, Safety, Environment, and Communities) is paramount.
