Community outreach. Plant managers meet regularly with community leaders to discuss environmental and safety performance.
Explore & Experiment. Through LyondellBasell’s Explore & Experiment program, our employee volunteers offer hands-on science activities to local classrooms, sparking student interest in science. We also offer area teachers science-training workshops that help them use our Explore & Experiment curriculum in the classroom.
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, our employee volunteers helped the YMCA Oakcrest Family Swim Club prepare for the summer. They landscaped, cleaned, set up equipment and helped with other beautification projects.
Philanthropy. Our employees open their hearts and wallets to support local organizations. For example, they generously support local community-service agencies through an annual payroll-pledge campaign for the United Way.
Volunteerism. We encourage our employees’ engagement in the local community.
They have "adopted" the local boat basin on the Raritan River and periodically clean up litter at the site.
The Edison Plant also supports local emergency response, even lending out its Emergency Response Team to assist in off-site emergencies in the community. We likewise have assisted the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the training of emergency responders.
Collectively, our employees spend hundreds of hours each month in volunteer service. They serve as emergency responders, science-fair judges, referees, mentors, Scout leaders, teachers, coaches and school-board members.
