Gender

At bp, we recognize people of all genders and identities. We believe that talent is not limited to any single group and that who you are and how you identify should not be a barrier to having a rewarding career.

We want brilliant people with diverse perspectives, skills and ideas to join bp and help us address the biggest challenges in the energy industry. That’s why we’re committed to building inclusive workplaces and environments where all our employees can thrive and reach their full potential.

We know that the energy sector, and our business, has traditionally had a gender imbalance but we aspire to improve this. There’s a lot more to do but we’re making good progress.

Here are a few ways we’re in action: 

We set ourselves a global goal for women to occupy at least half our senior leader roles and 40% at every other level of the company by 2030. 

We firmly support our employee resource groups, including bpWIN (our Women’s International Network) and Men As Allies. All our groups are open to everyone at bp and they are invaluable in providing insights, connecting our employees and driving inclusion. 

Externally we have several initiatives and partnerships, which aim to dispel misconceptions about careers in our industry and at bp.
