Message from Chairman and CEO

Peabody Energy is the world’s largest private-sector coal company at a time when the world is entering the early stages of a long-lived supercycle for coal and energy.

With the industry’s leading reserve position, Peabody is Btu-rich, housing an enormous supply of energy to fuel the fastest-growing markets in the world, from the steel mills of northern China to the new generating stations of coastal India to the baseload power plants of the United States.

BTU fuels the most basic energy needs, bringing light and warmth to countless families in developing nations. We power 21st Century classrooms, state-of-the-art surgical suites, and modern research facilities, providing energy that lifts people everywhere to a better quality of life.

What drives Peabody’s long-term growth thesis? Simply put, we are well positioned to fuel the world’s fastest-growing energy markets. Peabody has strong access to high-growth regions through our expanding Australian platform, trading activities and Asian growth projects. We have an excellent U.S. position as the largest producer in the fastest-growing regions.

We have the best talent and assets in the industry, and we’re using the combined strength of our strategic initiatives and the power of our global platform – energizing the world one Btu at a time.

Thank you for your interest in Peabody, and we look forward to continuing to share our story and our progress.
