Reimagining Underground Coal Mining

SAFETY

Safety is fundamental to every aspect of Signal Peak’s business. Our behavior-based safety process empowers every employee to eliminate at-risk behaviors in the workplace and to be accountable not only for their own safety, but for the safety of those around them. Every level of our organization maintains the expectation of providing a safe and healthy work environment. We believe:

• Incidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses are not an acceptable part of our business, and working safely is a condition of employment.
• Any task that cannot be performed safely shall not be performed. No task is so urgent that the time cannot be taken to perform it safely.
• Every employee is empowered to stop any task if he or she believes that safety is being compromised.
• All levels of the Company shall promote a safe, compliant, and productive work environment. Management shall demonstrate leadership, honesty and integrity and provide the resources necessary to ensure safe and compliant operations.
• Every operation shall maintain a culture of safety excellence and promote a strong culture of employee engagement in the safety process. Employees are expected to identify at-risk behaviors and conditions and initiate appropriate corrective actions.

COMPLIANCE

Signal Peak shall conduct its operations in strict compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and Company policies. Each employee must have an understanding of the laws, regulations, and Company policies that apply to their work. If an employee is unsure of whether a contemplated action is permissible, they should seek advice from their supervisor or other management personnel.

Signal Peak expects employees to do the right thing, secure in the knowledge that the Company supports them. At times, this may require doing more than simply what the law requires. Merely because Signal Peak can pursue a course of action does not mean it should do so.

INTEGRITY AND ETHICAL CONDUCT

Signal Peak employees shall pursue their work according to the highest standards of honesty and integrity. Signal Peak encourages the reporting of any issues without fear of retaliation. Ethical behavior does not simply happen—it is the product of clear and direct communications and a commitment to doing the right thing without exception. Ultimately, our actions are what matters.

Signal Peak will promptly address ethical questions or concerns raised by employees and take appropriate steps to deal with such issues. Ethical questions or concerns raised by employees are an encouraged form of business communication, and Signal Peak wants ethics dialogue to become a natural part of daily work.

EXCELLENCE AND CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT

We are accountable for our success. All levels of Signal Peak shall continually strive to improve processes that promote a safe, healthy, and successful workplace.

Signal Peak intends to identify policies and strategies to further the Company’s performance beyond mere compliance. The Company will continue to focus on environmental compliance to further improve our operations, and on employee awareness through enhanced training and communication, proactively identifying best-in-class processes and methods in our operations. Signal Peak believes that best-in class performance demonstrating our core values will directly translate to strong operations and financial results.

SUSTAINABILITY

We take responsibility to protect the environment, benefit our communities, and reclaim and restore the land for generations that follow. Signal Peak will carefully monitor its compliance by tracking environmental data including permits, water sampling analyses, audit findings, corrective actions, and other relevant information. This evaluation is an integral tool that allows the Company to ensure that we are adhering to our environmental obligations.

Signal Peak believes that appropriate environmental training and awareness are essential to achieving compliance. All employees with environmental responsibilities complete environmental training annually to ensure they are properly equipped to recognize potential environmental impacts and have the skills to prevent or mitigate their occurrence.

Signal Peak also believes in being good neighbors in the Roundup and Billings communities where we live and work. Over the last decade, Signal Peak’s Community Foundation has donated millions of dollars to local non-profit organizations in our operating area, and Signal Peak employees continue to donate their time as volunteers to numerous community organizations.
