Argus is an independent media organisation serving global energy and related commodity industries. Our main activities comprise publishing market reports containing price assessments, market commentary and news, and business intelligence reports that analyse market and industry trends.
As a corporate function, Argus maintains an active public policy programme in order to keep abreast of relevant public policy developments internationally. We undertake advocacy on public policy issues principally to promote transparent and efficient wholesale commodity markets and to ensure that independent media organisations such as ourselves can continue to bring transparency to these markets through effective media reporting.
Argus is committed to transparency in its own operations, including through publishing our submissions and responses to public consultations.
