Human Capital
Our Approach
As leaders in the mining industry and business community, we understand that a commitment to human rights goes hand in hand with dedication to customers, stakeholders and the environment. Peabody strives to act ethically and with integrity in all business and relationships.
We expect all external partners, including its supply chains, to adhere to these same principles, and we communicate these expectations through our Code of Business Ethics and Vendor Code of Conduct. We have effective controls and training in place to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or any of our supply chains. Peabody encourages and informs employees and other stakeholders about their ability and obligation to report concerns of misconduct, including human rights violations, through a strong program of workplace communications and online training tools.
Statement on Human Rights
Peabody is committed to creating a safe and healthy work environment where all employees are treated with fairness and respect. Our policies and practices concerning human rights apply to all employees, visitors and contractors within our global operations. These standards are supported by Peabody’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and our Vendor Code of Conduct and are aligned with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Our board of directors has established procedures for receiving and investigating reported violations, including a confidential hotline, which is available to both internal employees and external contractors and vendors. Retaliation in any form against an individual who exercises their right to make a complaint in good faith is strictly forbidden.
