MORRIS, Ill. – Sept. 13, 2017 – LyondellBasell’s Morris Complex employees, contractors, families and friends spent this past Saturday working at Chapin Park in downtown Morris in celebration of the company’s 18th Annual Global Care Day.

“For the past 18 years, LyondellBasell has been proud to extend the tradition of working across the world to impact our communities,” said LyondellBasell site manager Tim Carnell. “There is a strong desire to invest in the places where we live and operate and this is one the most important days of the year. Employees help to decide the organizations that we partner with and this day is a demonstration of our ambition to make a tangible difference.”
