Who we are

Our beliefs

‘Who we are’ defines what we stand for at bp, building on our best qualities and those things that are most important to us. It comprises three simple beliefs that can inspire each of us at bp to be our best every day.

 

Our beliefs

  • Live our purpose.
  • Play to win.
  • Care for others.

Safety comes first

Nothing is more important than safe and reliable operations. Safety is at the core of our purpose and the foundation of everything we do.

 

Safety at bp is underpinned by our Operating Management System (OMS). Our OMS is how we work: the systematic framework designed to sustainably deliver safe, reliable and compliant operations. 

 

Our Safety Leadership Principles are designed to guide behaviour and ways of working across bp to drive a robust, consistent safety culture.

Our organization

Our strategy and sustainability

E m b e d d i n g i n t o o u r D N A E n g a g i n g s t a k e h o l d e r s I m p ro v e p e op l e ' s l i v e s G e t t o n e t z e ro C a r e f o r o u r p l a n e t Our beliefs and foundations

Our strategy

We deliver heat, light and mobility products and services – in other words, energy – to our customers around the world, and we plan to do so increasingly in ways that we believe will help drive the transition to a lower carbon future.


Our three-pillar strategy focuses on investing in our five transition growth engines – bioenergy, convenience, EV charging, hydrogen and renewables – and, at the same time, investing in today’s energy system. Integration connects it all. 

Sustainability

Our sustainability frame links our strategy to our purpose – to reimagine energy for people and our planet.


We are committed to delivering long-term value for stakeholders and believe we have the scale, global presence and expertise to navigate complex markets and manage increasingly integrated energy systems.


Since we set out our strategy in 2020, our track record of delivery has given us increased confidence as we invest in bp's transition and the energy transition.

And,
not or.

The world's transition to a more secure, more affordable, lower carbon energy system needs massive investment in lower carbon energies AND continued investment in oil and gas as the alternatives grow. We're transforming bp to play our part – discover more below
