An Open Letter to Our Communities Across Appalachia
September 10, 2024
By Nav Behl, Chief Operating Officer
Recently, a video was released on social media that revealed a vendor of CNX Resources engaging in unsafe driving practices in Greene County, Pennsylvania.
Let us be completely clear–we do not tolerate unsafe behavior by any employee or contractor of CNX Resources, and we took immediate action to address this situation.
At CNX, our core values dictate that safety can never be compromised. We have zero tolerance for unsafe behavior in the communities where we have lived and worked for generations. Regarding this specific incident, we quickly identified the responsible driver and served our contractor with a “Do Not Return” notice for the employee involved in the incident, which means the contractor’s employee is permanently barred from any activity related to CNX Resources and its operations. Additionally, we issued a safety alert to all of our trucking vendors and reinforced our zero tolerance policy. Our expectations for contractors and vendors, as well as our employees, are consistently communicated, enforced, and will continue to be emphasized on a regular basis.
Our Appalachia First vision and commitment places local communities at the core of everything we do, and we demand that every employee and contractor of CNX Resources abide by our core value of responsibility to the community in every decision and every action.
We will use this unfortunate incident as an opportunity to reinforce our safety culture, while continuing to educate our employees, vendors, and contractors on the critical importance they play in the work we do and our relationship with our local communities.
You can rest assured that our attention to safety and compliance will never be compromised, and that any incident that deviates from that commitment will be dealt with swiftly and appropriately in accordance with our values.
Our Operations and Community Relations teams are available 24/7, and we encourage anyone with questions or concerns about our operations to reach out to us either via email at communityrelations@cnx.com or by phone at 724-485-4998.
