Community outreach. Employees from our sites meet regularly with representatives from the local community. The sites communicate continuously with the communities where they operate. Our regularly updated “Information for the Neighborhood,” as well as www.lyondellbasell.de/wesseling offer important information about the company and how local citizens can contact us.
Educational support. We support several community organizations, such as schools and kindergartens. Many of our employees serve these organizations in leadership roles. The Wesseling and Knapsack sites are among the largest employers in the region. Each year, we offer 50 new apprenticeship-training positions in six different professions. More than 150 people receive training in our Education Center simultaneously. Skilled and ambitious candidates combine their apprenticeships with academic studies at regional universities.
Global Care Day. Thousands of our employees, worldwide, work to make a difference in the world by joining this annual community-service day. This year, we cleaned the Rhine riverside by collecting plastics from the river and recycling them. We also painted the interior rooms of the Evangelisches Jugendzentrum Jo-Jo Frechen in Frechen.
