July 1, 2022 - Arch Resources, Inc. (NYSE: ARCH) has announced the publication of its 2022 sustainability report, now available for download on the company's website homepage at archrsc.com.  The report details Arch's commitment to the highest environmental, social and governance principles, and includes a robust discussion of the company's significant and ongoing progress in its 10-year pivot towards global steel and metallurgical coal markets, which are expected to play an essential role in the build-out of a new, low-carbon economy.


Among the highlights, the report delineates Arch's:


- Lost-time incident rate of 1.01 in 2021, which was nearly 2.5-times better than the industry average

- Perfect 2021 environmental compliance record under the federal mining law

- 100 percent compliance against 134,000 water quality measurements conducted in 2021

- Establishment of an industry-first thermal mine reclamation fund, which sets aside sufficient cash for final reclamation of its legacy thermal operations, and

- Reductions now totaling 56 percent in direct and indirect CO2e emissions against its 2013 baseline year


"We believe Arch's long-term success hinges on our ability to drive continuous improvement against a wide range of ESG-related metrics," said Paul A. Lang, Arch's CEO and president.  "The Arch team's deep commitment to safety and environmental stewardship – as well as to the principles of transparency, integrity and good governance – serve as the very bedrock of the Arch corporate culture and provide a powerful foundation on which to build.  We remain sharply focused on driving even greater progress and extending our industry leadership in these critical areas of performance, and welcome ongoing dialogue with our many stakeholders as we pursue these objectives."
