Alpha Natural Resources
|
|
Alpha Natural Resources is one of America's leading producers of coal, which is an essential part of our daily lives. From generating light and heat to helping make the steel that goes into our roads, bridges and buildings, coal powers our future. In fact, coal generates 40% of the world's electricity and powers almost 70% of global steel production.
Coal is sometimes called buried sunlight, the product of decayed plant matter from eons ago. Here you can follow The Story of Coal on its 300 million-year journey from prehistoric swamps to your light switch at home.
Ensuring the sustainability of this important resource as well as looking after our employees, communities and environment is not just important, it's a priority we're deeply committed to. We call it Running Right, and it's just the way we do business.
As an active community partner, Alpha takes pride in giving back. For Alpha that means more than just writing a check, it means being involved in the communities where we live and work. From programs that provide food and health care to those in need, to sponsoring educational, arts and cultural programs for families and children, we create opportunities to improve the quality of life for our neighbors.
