Impact on the Community

As a 120-year-old company, EQT has a major impact on the regions where we do business. We strive to conduct business as a good corporate citizen, contributing to the economy, environment and citizens in the Appalachian Basin — Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia while supplying energy, maintaining an exemplary safety record and providing a rewarding bottom line for our investors.

EQT employs nearly 1,800 people with an income totaling almost $195 million. In addition, EQT paid more than $62 million in state and local taxes in 2010, a majority of which is returned to the localities where EQT's operations are focused. Overall, EQT’s operations added about $1.15 billion in economic value and supported more than 12,000 jobs in the four states in which we operate.
