Diversity, equity and inclusion report 2021

Last year we published our first-ever DE&I report. I said at the time that we wanted to make a statement of intent and to be held accountable – that to make progress we needed to set goals and track our performance against them.

I’m pleased to share our latest report, which highlights our progress, success, and existing challenges. And even though there’s always more to do, there is a lot to be proud of here. I invite you to review the full report, but offer the following highlights:

• Reaching gender parity among our executive leadership team, which is now more than half women.
• Introducing a global framework for action in the areas of talent, accountability, and transparency
• Setting gender and ethnicity ambitions, aimed at increasing representation of women and ethnic minorities.
• Launching a unique and equitable talent development offering for our ethnic minority staff.
• Embedding equity in our ways of working with a social mobility framework.

For too many people all over the world, access to opportunity and experiences is not equal. At bp, we believe we have a responsibility to do things differently.

This means doing more to create equity – fair treatment according to everyone’s unique needs – and doing it faster and better than ever before. We are creating a business where our colleagues, customers and suppliers feel safe being their best selves every day.

We are committed to continuing this work, to devoting resources and attention to this area, and to holding ourselves accountable.?
