I know that Glencore is one of the biggest coal producers in the world. I also a friend working in Glencore. When I talked to him, he has said that safety and workers happiness are some of the most important things Glencore cares for. By doing that, they always keep their reputation at a high level. Therefore, they boost their chance to get new contracts in the mining industry.

Rachelle's Feedback
These are great reasons for Glencore to stand out; however, you did not mention who their biggest competitors are. The interviewer will want to see that you have taken the time to research their company. I have reworded your response, below.
"I understand Glencore's biggest competitors to be (A), and (B). I have a friend who works here, and he said that safety and the happiness of your employees are some of the factors that you focus on most, here at Glencore. Since you are the largest coal producer in the world, it's great to see that you keep your reputation so positive. I am sure these efforts boost your chance of winning the best contracts and hiring the best people in the mining industry."
