Under the Corporate Governance umbrella, you will find our Code of Business Conduct and the related ethical principles that govern the make-up and conduct of our Board of Directors and other Arch employees. 

Within our Community Outreach and Charitable Contributions section we explain the actions that we’re taking to improve the quality of life in the communities and nations in which we operate.  For example, we focus much of our charitable giving on promoting programs and events that improve the quality of math, science and environmental education in our communities’ schools.  We also draw on our water-treatment expertise to help provide clean drinking water to needy people in undeveloped regions and those suffering from natural and manmade disasters and crises.
