Residents of the area have access to many local activities, from shopping, dining and museums, to golf courses, parks, trails and auto racing events.

With a workforce of nearly 1,000, we take great pride in the work we do to ensure safe, reliable operations. Further, we are committed to community and education outreach through many longstanding partnerships. The Joliet Refinery is recognized as one of the leading employers in the region, including, in 2018, "Large Business of the Year" by the Joliet Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the "Top Workplace" by the Joliet Herald-News.
