Chevron plays an important role in supporting the Richmond economy. Chevron is the largest and oldest company in Richmond and the City’s largest taxpayer. We also provide thousands of jobs for employees and contractors. When people think of Chevron in Richmond, they often think of the Richmond Refinery, but there are also a number of other Chevron business units with a presence in Richmond and Contra Costa County.

The City of Richmond and Chevron have a proud heritage and, together, we have a bright future. We are dedicated to helping Richmond reach its greatest potential by making investments to modernize our refinery, creating career-building opportunities for local residents and supporting community programs.
