Building a Sustainable Future
Corporate, Social & Environmental Responsibility
Every day, the people of Core Natural Resources work to become the most responsible coal company in the world. To achieve this goal, we strive for excellence in safety and environmental stewardship. We always conduct business in an ethical and transparent manner. We invest in our people and the communities where we live and operate. Our comprehensive approach to sustainability is underscored by an earnest commitment to the highest principles of corporate governance.
Core Natural Resources was founded with this fundamental responsibility at the center of our mission. Building on the industry-leading sustainability practices established by both Arch Resources and CONSOL Energy, Core is determined to set a new standard for environmental stewardship and social governance. We invite you to return here in the future to read more about our evolving efforts.
We embrace the highest principles of sustainability in everything we do and are committed to supporting society in the pursuit of a healthy, safe and sustainable future.
Our Aim
To Play a Pivotal Role Supporting the Raw Materials, Infrastructure and Energy that Will Drive Society for Generations to Come
At Core Natural Resources, our world-class assets produce the coal that facilitates economic and social progress. Our products are an essential component of the global raw material, infrastructure and energy supply chains and we always strive to manage our work in a responsible and sustainable manner.
We believe integration of Core’s sustainability management approach into our operations, strategy and business priorities will enhance the company’s long-term success. Many aspects of our environmental, social and governance (ESG) practice are informed by specific frameworks, policies and standards to guide our internal processes and operating procedures. Concurrently, other aspects of our ESG practice endeavor to support the company’s resilience in the dynamic market, social and regulatory environments in which we operate.
Achieving aspirational goals for sustainable development while meeting critical societal needs for raw materials, infrastructure and energy security cannot be achieved through policies and frameworks alone. We believe that strategic initiatives, business partnerships, public-private collaboration and innovation are required to achieve tangible progress as an energy transition plays out over many decades to come.
Congruent with this tenet, CONSOL Innovations, our wholly-owned subsidiary, is focused on sustainable innovations in the carbon products, carbon materials and carbon management markets. The CONSOL Innovations team leverages America’s abundant coal resources to foster long-term growth, diversification and sustainable value creation opportunities.
