Verification and Audit
Certain previously reported and verified metrics are presented using updated benchmarking methodologies. Underlying data for reporting years 2023 and 2024 was assured by Keramida, Inc. in 2024 and 2025, respectively, with no changes to previously assured data; updates relate solely to presentation and disaggregation and do not affect prior assurance conclusions.
CNX obtained limited assurance from Keramida, Inc., a WBE-certified global sustainability and EHS services firm, for certain 2023, 2024, and 2025 ESG data presented on this ESG Performance Scorecard—specifically Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, air emissions, water, and waste data. CNX’s Internal Audit & Advisory Services team performed a review and provided limited assurance for all other 2023, 2024, and 2025 data presented. Note that certain financial data included in the scorecard is also subject to internal control procedures that are required for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 302 certifications included in our SEC filings.

- Employee count based on active employment status as of year-end. Contractor FTE based on 2,080 workhours per year.
- NGLs, oil and condensate are converted to Mcfe at the rate of one barrel equals six Mcf based upon the approximate relative energy content of oil and natural gas.
- Minorities include American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, or anyone disclosing two or more ethnicities.
- Board diversity includes women and minorities. Overall diversity includes women, minorities, employees with disabilities, and veterans.
- Director tenure was calculated based on the month and year of a director commencing service and through December 31, 2023.
- CNX Political Action Committee (PAC) is an employee funded organization.
- Includes corporate contributions in states where corporate political contributions to candidates are permissible, namely Virginia.
- Includes contributions to organizations engaged in public education.
- Reference section on Industry Advocacy and Trade Associations for additional details regarding federal lobbying issues.
- Includes philanthropic investments, donations, and road infrastructure investments made by CNX Resources.
- Local spend in 2022 and 2023 includes the entirety of our operational footprint. Prior to 2022 the amount is for the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio.
- Voluntary and Total turnover rates are based on employee count at the end of the reporting period.
- Minorities include American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, or anyone disclosing two or more ethnicities.
- Overall diversity includes women, minorities, employees with disabilities, and veterans.
- Total recordable incident rate (TRIR), lost time incident rate (LTIR), and days away, restricted or transfer (DART) rate, are calculated per 200,000 hours worked. The reportable motor vehicle incident rate is calculated per 1,000,000 miles driven.
- Motor vehicle incident is any incident involving a licensed motor vehicle, which results in an OSHA recordable injury.
- Includes total emissions from CNX Production and Gathering and Boosting segments based on EPA’s Subpart W methodology, consolidated and reported under the operational control approach.
- Greenhouse global warming potential for CO2e calculations are based on IPCC Fourth Assessment (AR4-100 year) through 2023. Greenhouse global warming potential for CO2e calculations are based on IPCC Fifth Assessment (AR5-100 year) for 2024 and forward. GHG and Methane intensities are calculated using applicable emissions divided by throughput for Production and Gathering and Boosting segments, respectively
- All emissions metrics, including intensity calculations follow the applicable EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program methodologies under Subpart W – Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems, then in effect for each respective reporting year. 2025 reflects Subpart W revisions mandated by Section 136(h) of the Inflation Reduction Act.
*2024 Total G&B CO2e intensity metric was adjusted from 0.10% to 0.11% to reflect a correction to the toal gathering and boosting throughput. - Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions from the use of our sold product and are calculated utilizing natural gas combustion emission factors from Subpart C of EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.
- Flaring intensity based on total volume of natural gas produced.
- Leak detection and repair (LDAR) surveys that meet minimum federal and state regulations.
- Amounts include water that has been brought into the CNX system and consumed by gas operations; excludes amounts based on engineering estimates that were transported across but not consumed within the system. Prior year amounts have been adjusted to reflect this methodology
- Water consumed in operations primarily relates to hydraulic fracturing, adjusted for minor changes to storage.
- Includes produced water and flowback fluids sent to injection wells and other disposal facilities.
- Fresh water withdrawn intensity equals fresh water withdrawn divided by total company gross operated production (Mboe).
- Total water consumed intensity equals water consumed in operations divided by total company gross operated production (Mboe).
- Water recycled/reused rate equals the sum of produced water consumed in operations plus produced water sent to third-parties for reuse divided by total produced water brought into the CNX system.
- Water disposed offsite rate equals the amount sent to offsite disposal divided by total water brought into the CNX system.
- Includes violations issued by state and federal safety and environmental regulatory agencies, based on date violation was received.
- NOVs and Penalty Payments received during the reporting period are excluded if the violation stemmed from conditions that existed prior to the acquisition of Apex, as the company did not have operational control at the time of the incident. In RY2025, 13 NOVs were inherited from Apex.
- Reportable pipeline incidents are those that are reportable under US DOT PHMSA’s pipeline safety regulations.
- Spills include releases off containment to the environment greater than or equal to 42 gallons.
- Spills discovered during the reporting period are excluded if the incident resulted from conditions that existed prior to the acquisition of Apex, as the company did not have operational control at the time of the spill.
- Spill intensity is calculated as total barrels of liquid released (hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon) divided by total barrels of produced liquids (CNX and third-party produced water and CNX condensate), with results expressed per 100,000 barrels.
General Notes:
- In September 2020, the merger with CNX Midstream Partners LP was completed. To enable benchmarking of data for this and future reports, all years shown include data from these assets.
- These metrics have been calculated using the best available data at the time of publication. Historic metrics are subject to change as we continuously seek to improve data management processes and methodologies as CNX strives to provide a high level of transparency, consistency, and accuracy.
- Data denoted with “n/a” was either not collected in prior years or is no longer readily available.
- Data shown as “-” represent the value of zero. Data shown as “0” represent a value less than one, rounded to zero.
- Amounts reported on the quarterly CNX ESG Performance Scorecard may not foot to the reported annual amounts due to rounding.
- In some instances, amounts reported on the quarterly CNX ESG Performance Scorecard may not foot to the reported annual amounts, and subtotals may not foot to totals, due to rounding.
