Company Overview
Our primary product is energy, and where there is affordable, abundant energy,
people are healthier, have access to better education, and are given greater
opportunities to elevate their families to higher standards of living.
Nearly ‎3 billion people — roughly one-third of the global population — live
without electricity or without clean cooking facilities. We are committed to
providing energy in innovative and more sustainable ways to help raise the
standard of living for those living in energy poverty and to meet the ongoing
demands of people and economies around the world.
The products we deliver power increasingly cleaner electricity across the
globe, fuel tractors and trucks, make fertilizer to keep the world's food
supply on the table, and heat our schools, hospitals and businesses.
Our employees bring a wide range of talents and skills to the job every day to
tackle complex business challenges. We believe in providing a truly rewarding
work environment supported by a benefits platform that ranks among the best in
our peer group. Our company offers career development opportunities where
employees can grow personally and professionally. We promote employee benefits
that cultivate a family-friendly work environment and focus on our employees'
overall well-being.
We are committed to being a workplace where all employees are valued and can
thrive with a sense of belonging. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion

we are better as an organization when various ideas and perspectives are
brought to the table.
