Leadership

We have the courage to lead, and do so through inspiration, innovation, collaboration and execution.


Safety First

We are committed to maintaining a workplace that prioritizes the health and well-being of our employees. Our goal is to achieve and sustain zero harm through rigorous safety protocols, continuous training and a culture that empowers all employees to prioritize safety in every aspect of their work and speak up as a change agent — including through our anonymous “Tell Peabody” line — to address potentially unsafe situations.


People-Centric Culture

At the heart of our success is our people. Peabody is working to cultivate a people-centric culture that values the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our workforce, and fosters an environment where every employee feels respected, heard and empowered to contribute those unique skills and perspectives. Peabody acknowledges the significant risk to our business of not being able to access the talent necessary for our operations to succeed. We are working to address this risk in a number of ways: 

•   We are establishing talent pipelines in high schools, trade schools and universities, including programs designed to 
     recruit from diverse groups historically underrepresented in our workforce. 
•   We are recruiting internationally for hard-to-fill technical roles and leveraging favorable work visa arrangements 
     between the United States and Australia.
•   We are building on our previous success in recruiting military veterans to our business with targeted outreach.


Leadership Development

Peabody recognizes the importance of leadership at every level of our organization. We invest in leadership development programs — particularly for our frontline leaders — to empower employees to take on leadership roles, drive innovation and guide the company towards sustained growth. 


Customer Focus

Peabody places a strong emphasis on understanding and exceeding customer needs and expectations. By actively engaging with our customers on a variety of issues, we help ensure that our products, our services and the way we operate our business meet their evolving needs. 


Sustainability at the Core

Sustainability is embedded in the core of Peabody’s operations. We recognize the importance of minimizing our environmental footprint, contributing to the communities in which we operate and ensuring the long-term viability of our industry through sustainable practices. By investing in our human capital, we secure the success of our company and contribute to a more resilient future.

Peabody is a leading coal producer, providing essential products for the production of affordable, reliable energy and steel. Our commitment to sustainability underpins everything we do and shapes our strategy for the future.
