Environmental

Before mining activity begins, we develop the detailed assessments required for mining approvals, considering local ecosystems, geology, surface water, groundwater and land use. These assessments work to reduce potential impacts from our operations, respect critical habitats and execute cost-effective reclamation.

We continually assess the risk of potential impacts from our operations, and track our success in reclaiming areas disturbed by mining activities. Relevant personnel receive training to ensure regulatory compliance is achieved and expectations are communicated and implemented. Where applicable, Peabody engages with our stakeholders, including Traditional Owners and Indigenous groups to incorporate their knowledge and perspective into the reclamation practice.

Peabody prioritizes progressive land rehabilitation to drive biodiversity outcomes and minimize environmental impact. We aim to reclaim as much, or more, land than we disturb annually. Known for leadership in reclamation performance and contemporaneous rehabilitation practices, Peabody continues to invest in timely and progressive reclamation. This opens the door for future land use and redevelopment, including opportunities for renewable energy development on reclaimed mine land.
