Membership
Join CRT
CRT membership gives individual commodity trading professionals and businesses access to certification programmes, verifiable credentials, the trade platform, and the intelligence library. Membership is not yet open; founding membership applications are being invited.
Who membership is for
CRT membership is designed for individuals and organisations engaged in, or directly supporting, international physical commodity trade. This includes traders, brokers, intermediaries, trade finance professionals, logistics specialists, compliance officers, and businesses operating across commodity supply chains.
Membership is not restricted to a single jurisdiction. CRT is designed to be internationally applicable. The initial focus is on English-language markets and corridors, but there is no nationality or location restriction on membership.
