Oversight of health, safety, and environmental performance is provided by Peabody’s Board of Directors through the Health, Safety, Security, and Environmental Committee (HSSE Committee), with execution led by the Executive Leadership Team. Performance expectations are integrated into leadership accountability frameworks and reinforced through site-level management systems. Peabody is committed to maintaining safe, healthy, and environmentally responsible workplaces across all operations.

These practices are designed to reinforce individual ownership of safety while expanding organizational resilience.

Peabody’s Safety and Sustainability Management System (SSMS) is a risk-focused approach to continually improve health, safety, and environmental practices. The SSMS is certified independently under the CORESafety® framework of the U.S. National Mining Association, providing clear standards for both operations and management. These principles support a culture of active participation and responsibility for employees, contractors, visitors, and vendors at all sites.

In 2025, Peabody achieved a third record-low injury rate in four years, improving by 12% upon our prior best, achieved in 2024. Injury severity, measured by days lost or restricted, remained substantially below coal industry benchmarks in both the United States and Australia. In addition to lagging indicators such as injury rates, Peabody actively tracks leading safety metrics including near-miss reports, hazard identifications, critical-control verifications, and leadership safety interactions to strengthen prevention efforts and focus attention on emerging risk trends. Together, these results reflect Peabody’s ongoing commitment to protecting people, restoring land, and operating responsibly while pursuing our long-term objective of zero harm.
