 Coyote Creek Mine earned the Safety Excellence Award from the Lignite Energy Council and was awarded a Certificate of Achievement in Safety by MSHA. The Certificate of Achievement in Safety was awarded based on 215,362 employee hours worked without a lost-time injury in 2023. Also in 2024, both the Freedom Mine and Falkirk Mine received the Distinguished Safety Award from the Lignite Energy Council for achieving an accident incident rate lower than the national average during 2023.

Our Health and Safety Principles, which are available on our website at https://nacco.com/stewardship/safety/, provide examples of how we promote a safety first culture:

• We provide ongoing safety training, education and communication to ensure employees understand and comply with all applicable safety laws and regulations, and everyone is committed to keeping themselves and their co-workers safe.

• We provide technical training to employees on the use, maintenance and repair of equipment to ensure all employees can perform their jobs in a safe and healthy manner, and we provide personal protective equipment to protect employees from risks and injuries.

• We encourage key personnel to participate in company-wide safety summits to discuss safety successes and opportunities for improvement, including best practices and the latest developments with respect to safety rules, laws and regulations.

• We maintain a company-wide cross-functional Safe Work Area Task Force that participates in industry-wide efforts to share best practices.

#### Our Community
Local communities are important to our employees, and to us, and we believe in making long-term investments in the areas where we operate. We support numerous charitable efforts where our employees live and work, including educational, arts and community organizations. In 2024, we directed more than $970,000 of corporate donations to organizations that serve and enhance our communities. We also support employee cash donations to qualified organizations through our matching gift program whereby NACCO will match eligible employee donations up to $5,000 per year, per employee. In 2024, we matched more than $120,000 of employee and director contributions to qualifying organizations.

In 2024, we hosted events where our employees supported youth programs in our local communities by raising more than $59,000 for organizations such as the Winnemucca Boys and Girls Club in Nevada and the Energy Capital Cooperative Child Care Center in Hazen, North Dakota. We are proud to support these very worthwhile programs.

#### Environmental Excellence
We demonstrate our commitment to the environment through excellence in reclamation, biodiversity, historic preservation, waste management and compliance. Our approach reflects our commitment to protect and nurture
