Protecting the Environment
The Appalachian Basin is more than the place we do business; it is our home. Our approach to environmental stewardship aligns with our long-standing presence in communities across Appalachia. Like many stakeholders throughout the region, our employees are passionate about protecting and preserving the quality of the region’s air and water for future generations.
Our passion—and our business—is to produce the affordable, reliable, and safe energy that our world needs. As a leading operator, we have a responsibility to reduce our footprint and set a powerful example within our industry through unprecedented transparency, technological advancements, process improvements, effective water and waste management, air quality initiatives, and regional GHG emissions reductions.
Radical Transparency

Successful engagement starts with understanding how we can better collaborate with our stakeholders through transparency, dialogue, and active listening. Through this process, we work together to solve community issues, promote economic opportunities, and build relationships to help our region thrive. Community members and concerned residents expect transparency and fact-based data regarding the impact of our operations. CNX has responded with a historic commitment to further expand our operational disclosures.
