CITGO Lemont Refinery

Our volunteers were back at our Operation Restoration site, as we’re continuing to restore wildlife habitat with this project!

The CITGO house is almost complete! Our volunteers were hard at work putting final touches on painting, installing light fixtures and ceiling fans on a new home for a wonderful family in partnership with Will County Habitat for Humanity. 

Yesterday we attended the Joliet Chamber State Session and Budget Update with local elected officials.

The Crude Oil Quality Association came to visit the Lemont Refinery! We were happy to host a group of folks in town for the annual COQA Conference.  

The CITGO cycling team had a great success at this year’s Bike MS Tour De Farms raising over $25,000! Riders went the distance this year biking over 1,300 miles. CITGO has participated in the National MS Societies’ annual Bike MS for years; every mile we pedal and every dollar we raised brings us closer to a world free of MS. 

The CITGO Lemont Refinery is a proud member of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. This morning several employees represented at the State of Business in Illinois, featuring the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office, Illinois Chamber, and Illinois State Treasurer.

This year's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event at the CITGO Lemont Refinery was amazing with over 100 participants and 9,300lbs of waste material collected. This included 680lbs of batteries, 4,200lbs of electronics and 1,500lbs of used oil. Together, we gathered almost 2,000lbs of household waste!

CITGO is a proud sponsor of the 2024 Relay for Life! This year we raised $8,965 for the American Cancer Society. The Relay for Life movement is dedicated to helping communities attack cancer. Through funds donated, time given, or awareness raised, communities are teaming up to make a difference. When we rally together in the fight against cancer, we can accomplish anything.

CITGO Lemont Refinery and the Chicago Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) hosted a full day, live tabletop exercise (TTX) to analyze and enhance the coordinated crisis response between private and public partners across Illinois. The large-scale training event included ninety-seven attendees from thirty local, state and federal agencies. It consisted of a site-specific exercise scenario in which all stakeholder organizations could identify and analyze their own actions through the lens of the greater, synchronized effort to control a fictional Weapons of Mass Destruction incident.

In honor of Juneteenth, CITGO employees attended the African American Business Association’s Juneteenth CEO Celebration and Awards Gala. We’re proud to support our community partners in Will County!
