Pros
Since my time at Delek US, I’ve enjoyed the positive team collaboration. We continued our efforts to break down silos and communicate and interact as One Delek in order to make the company stronger as a whole.Cons
Long hours but rewarding outcomes.Council on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I)
Oversight of the full range of our expanded efforts will be the responsibility of our DE&I Council. Sponsored and led by the executive team, the DE&I Council will guide our efforts to make Delek an employer of choice. From recruitment and retention, to training and advancement, the Council will ensure that all of Delek’s business units and shared services realize this inclusive vision.
Every member of the Council will mentor a female employee or a coworker who is a member of an underrepresented group. The mentors will boost the careers of their mentees by sharing their decades of knowledge and expertise. This program will formalize the access of female and minority employees to senior managers with the goal of assisting traditionally underrepresented demographic groups in our workforce in securing management positions.
Delek, which was once a small company, has grown large. What began with a $40 million investment in convenience stores has grown into a multi-billion dollar enterprise with thousands of employees powering downstream, midstream, retail, renewables, and logistics businesses.
Our core values are the fundamental pieces of our business and carrying them out in our day to day decisions is critical to our company's success.
Health, Safety & Environmental Commitment
Delek has been committed to continuous improvement in its environmental stewardship and long ago formally documented its pledge in its Health, Safety & Environmental Commitment. Our focus is on minimizing environmental impacts by reducing emissions and waste. We strive to identify new technologies and improve operational methods that will allow us to more efficiently operate our businesses while ensuring greater environmental protections. Environmental considerations are paramount in our dealings with contractors and suppliers and in our relationship with the public.
Delek is committed to our employees, the environment, and the communities in which we operate while delivering great products, services, and other initiatives that impact lives within and outside the organization.
Fund for Hope
Established in 2008, the Delek Fund for Hope, a 501(c)(3), is the charitable arm of our business. From our headquarters region to our refinery locations and the various communities where we have a significant logistics or retail presence, the Fund’s goal is to create positive impacts that address the specific needs of our neighbors. Since 2008, in partnership with our employees and business partners, the Fund has supported over 1,840 non-profits and awarded more than $17.8 million worth of grants.
Over the last 18 months, the Delek Fund for Hope has supported 875 organizations through awarded grants in excess of $2.1 million. The grants impacted communities suffering through natural disasters by providing meals, shelter, and clothing for those directly affected. We also have an ongoing commitment to support child-based programs providing resources for after school activities, recreational programs, meals, school supplies and support through technology investments through our partners.
In 2019, the scope of the Fund’s charitable activities broadened to include ecologically-focused activities.
We supported environmental groups, tree planting programs, river clean-ups and debris removal. Additionally, Delek US and the Fund for Hope have lent a hand to first responders throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by supplying them with surplus personal protective equipment (PPE).
Delek US also invests in our employees by supporting their charitable interests. Our ongoing payroll deduction program allows employees to make donations to the Delek Fund for Hope. The company matches those contributions, which are then distributed by employees for local use.
In addition to providing financial support, Delek employees also assist their communities through volunteer service. A new program, The Delek Day of Caring, is an ongoing commitment to engage local non-profits, build relationships and seek partnering opportunities. This initiative has already seen employees log thousands of volunteer hours supporting the environment, child service programs, and community improvements.
