CNX Releases 'Radically Transparent' Corporate Sustainability Report

05.06.2024  |  PR Newswire

2023 Report Details Progress Towards Unique Appalachia First Sustainability Goals Generating Long-term Value for Shareholders, Employees, and Appalachian Region

PITTSBURGH, June 5, 2024 - Today, CNX Resources Corp. (NYSE: CNX) published its thirteenth annual Corporate Sustainability Report, Radical Transparency, highlighting how the Company's distinct corporate strategy and investment approach continues to deliver material results for all stakeholder groups across the Appalachian region and beyond.

"The 160-year legacy of CNX is rooted in being thoughtfully innovative, and that innovative spirit has shaped our unique Tangible, Impactful, Local ESG effort which is summarized in this report," commented CNX Chief Risk Officer Hayley Scott. "This document tells the story of our ongoing strategic journey-a journey that has clearly positioned CNX as a differentiated energy solutions company poised to once again lead an energy renaissance from right here in the heart of Appalachia."

CNX's 2023 report outlines the Company's continued dedication to transparency, innovation, environmental stewardship, and community engagement, aligning closely with the standards set forth by prominent international frameworks such as the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards.

Core to CNX's updated report is the Company's groundbreaking collaboration with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania where, in partnership with Governor Josh Shapiro's Administration and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), the Company is deploying robust environmental monitoring and data collection of its operations in the state. By publicly disclosing the data in real-time via CNXRadicalTransparency.com, all stakeholders can access and better understand the natural gas development process and its critical role in the economy and environment.

"Through our commitment to Radical Transparency, we aim to lead the industry into a new era of responsible domestic energy development-one where facts and data prevail over speculation and ideology," Ms. Scott continued. "Through these efforts, we are proving every day that natural gas development is safe and inherently good for the communities where we are privileged to live and operate."
