Health and safety

Health and Safety

Providing a safe working environment for our people and minimising the risks related to coal production are key priorities within SUEK’s operations.

Our people

Our people

Our people are our most important asset, and we strive to create the most favourable conditions for them. We continually work to improve health and safety, promote personal and professional development, and provide social support to all employees and their families.

Environment

Environment

Environmental considerations and commitments underpin all our managerial and production decisions. We are aware of the environmental impact of our operations and the environmental risks inherent in coal mining, washing and shipment. We are also aware of our responsibility to help protect and preserve the environment for present and future generations.

Communities

Communities

Social activities are an integral part of SUEK’s strategy. We implement various programmes focused on the development of the regions where we operate, with a view to improving the living standards of our employees, their families and local communities, and enabling open dialogue with all stakeholders. We coordinate our actions with regional governments and engage with non-profit organisations and the business community.

How we create value

We create value in a number of ways within four key areas of activity:

Mining
Washing and
processing
Logistics
Sales

Mining

Our cost-efficient mining activities deliver a sustainable supply of high-quality thermal coal. Using open-pit and underground mines, we produce brown and hard coal. By investing in regular upgrades of our production units, SUEK is able to maintain a leading position within its sector.

Washing and processing

Washing plants and processing facilities adjacent to our mines and open pits improve the quality of our coal. Washing reduces ash, increases heat content and ultimately improves our coal’s market value. The coal is also crushed and screened so that it can precisely meet customers’ size specifications without affecting quality.

Logistics

The favourable location of our assets, with good access to key transport infrastructure, enables SUEK to reliably and cost-efficiently supply the major markets of Russia, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Sales

SUEK’s extensive sales network ensures reliable coal supplies to customers in 38 countries. Our established offices in all key markets help mitigate business risks and allow us to sell products in local currency. More than 80% of our international sales are direct to end users.
