Community impact

The Joliet Refinery is historically among the top contributors to United Way of Will County.

As regular volunteers for a wide variety of charitable organizations, employees share their time and talents through employee-driven, corporate-supported Volunteer Involvement Program grants.

• During 2025, ExxonMobil Joliet, ExxonMobil Joliet employees, and the ExxonMobil Foundation contributed more than $440k to charitable organizations in the Joliet area.
• Refinery employees volunteer at dozens of local organizations annually and provide financial support through Exxon Mobil Corporation’s Volunteer Involvement Program (VIP) grants.
• Refinery employees have assumed leadership roles in many community charitable and nonprofit organizations, such as the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the American Red Cross.

ExxonMobil also continues to help build a stable local economy. ExxonMobil Joliet contributes millions of dollars to the regional economy and is a stable employer, providing more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs. In 2024, we paid $24 million in the form of property taxes. The Joliet Refinery is proud to play a part in making our community a great place to live, work, and raise our families.
