Explore & Experiment. LyondellBasell’s Explore & Experiment program offers employee volunteers performing hands-on science activities in 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, we worked to remove Hurricane Ike debris and improve wildlife areas at the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site in preparation for its 175th anniversary. In 2010 we landscaped, planted trees, created a butterfly garden and assembled park benches for North Pointe Elementary School in Clear Creek Independent School District in Bay Area Houston. Both the park and the school are close to our pipelines. The North Pointe Elementary PTA presented a Friend of Education award to LyondellBasell in appreciation of the work and support.
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.
The organizations we have supported include the Palacios Medical Center, Midfield Fire Department, Markham and Palacios volunteer fire departments, Bonnie’s Barn Yard, and Outdoors Without Limits, which assists disabled veterans.
