Contractor information

Thank you to everyone that joined us for the 2024 Contractor Forums!

We were happy to host over 130 contractor individuals to our PNW and Midwest forums, along with several bp personnel.

We held discussions around supporting mental health for leaders, reviewed our 2023 performance and lessons learned form incidents, took a deep dive into understanding our recent culture survey results, rolled out new program requirements, spent time networking, and much more! We were also pleased to recognize 6 of our suppliers and contractors during the forum with awards under 3 separate categories: Cost Effectiveness & Innovation, Compliance & Quality, and Safety. Planning will be underway soon for the 2025 Forums.

If you have any suggestions for content or improvements, please feed those through your bp point of contact for consideration in future events.

Working with our Business Partners to make bp a cyber-resilient organization

A message for our suppliers

Cyber security is one of bp’s highest priority risks, that we take very seriously, with breaches presenting a risk to the security of our information, digital systems, and operations. Last year a number of companies operating in the energy sector experienced cyber-attacks. We do understand that cyber risks are one of the areas that we will have to continue to be alert to as we progress, and our business evolves.

There is a strong likelihood that cyber attackers will target our suppliers to gain access to information or systems. We recognise the need to work together with you (our suppliers) to share the role of protecting our information and systems.

If you, as a bp supplier, suffer an actual security breach that impacts bp or you identify a potential risk or threat to bp’s information or IT systems you must report it without delay to our Security Operations Centre as well as your usual point of contact within bp.

Information security requirement details are included in supplier contracts. Our request is that if you experience any issues or suspect one please do follow the relevant contractual obligations, including but not limited to, informing bp immediately as follows:

• Supplier/ Contractor shall immediately notify bp via Security Operations Centre SOC@bp.com
• Supplier/ Contractor shall immediately notify bp contract owner

For further information please see bp cyber security and supplier portal on www.bp.com.

We are embedding sustainability in the way we do business and across our strategy. Our sustainability frame sets out our aims for getting to net zero, improving people’s lives and caring for our planet.

We’ve set aims to get bp to net zero and help the world get there too, to care for our planet, and to improve people’s lives. We look forward to working with suppliers that share our beliefs, support our aims, genuinely care about building sustainable supply chains and strive for innovation and excellence in their delivery.

Our purpose is reimagining energy for people and our planet. Our sustainability frame translates our purpose into action and underpins our strategy to become an integrated energy company. It sets out aims in the areas where we believe we can make the biggest difference for bp, our stakeholders and society.

We have set aims for each of our focus areas:

• 10 aims to get bp to net zero by 2050 or sooner, and to help the world get to net zero.
  • In 2020 we set out our ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner and to help the world get to net zero. We are aiming to be net zero across our operations, production, and sales. This ambition is supported by 10 aims: five to help us become a net zero company and five to help the world get there too. Together, they set out a path that we believe is consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
• five aims to improve people's lives.
  • We recognize the importance of giving people access to energy, supporting a just energy transition, treating people with respect, enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and supporting health and wellbeing. Our five people aims build on strong social impact and risk management requirements in our operating management system.
• five aims to care for our planet.
  • Our sustainability frame focuses on making a real difference to the environment in which we operate.  Our five planet aims cover the enhancement of biodiversity, water management, nature-based solutions including those that reduce or remove carbon emissions, circularity, and sustainable purchasing.

During the site walk for the roll off staging area, the contract company requested their hydrovac sub-contractor and the operator to do a dry run and see if they were clear of the overhead powerlines. It was determined that the truck was not able to dump with the orientation of the boxes (E-W). The waste hauler was requested to return and move the boxes, so the truck is parallel to lines (N-S) and more than 10 feet away. The contractor put up goal posts with flags below the lowest line which is communications. Overall, this was a good stop work and discussion with the crew.

The team also set up snow fence and cones in the station to cordon off areas where the vac truck should not drive. This keeps people and vehicles out of the manifold area and from running over shallow lines. Thank you for not compromising your focus on safety.
