Health, Safety, Environment & Communities Policy

We commit to safety and health as a way of life. In addition, we take responsibility for minimising impacts on the environment, providing benefits to our communities and restoring the land for future generations. 

Our vision is to operate safe, healthy and environmentally responsible workplaces that are incident free. Safety and health as well as environmental sustainability are core Peabody values and are integrated into all areas of our business. Our goal is to eliminate all workplace incidents, including injuries and occupational illnesses, and mitigate environmental impacts.

The following governing principles apply to our employees, contractors, visitors and vendors at our sites, or any location where Peabody work activities take place and includes all phases of the mining life cycle:
