BP is performance driven, innovative, progressive and green

Our core values

  • Performance: At the heart of BP is a focus on performance that earns us the right to grow.
  • Innovative: We are innovative, behaving in a way which takes full advantage of the rapid development and application of know-how, including new ideas, processes and knowledge.
  • Progressive: We will be a company that never stands still, a company with a dynamic leadership continually searching for new ideas and better ways of doing things, a company that is open, inclusive and diverse.
  • Green: We will be an environmental leader, demonstrating social responsibility in all that we do and a concern for the environment in its broadest sense.

What we stand for

  • As a company we want to be competitive, progressive and a force for good.
  • To act responsibly and ethically is central to all we do, wherever we operate.
  • We are looking beyond traditional ways of doing business, beyond the constraints of conventional thinking and beyond the petroleum industry.
  • We support the principles set forth in the UN Declaration of Human Rights. We expect our partners to do the same.

What we strive for

  • At the core of BP is an unshakeable commitment to human progress.
  • We aim for radical openness: transparent, questioning, flexible, restless and inclusive.
  • We intend to play a leading part in meeting mankind's need for oil, gas, solar power and chemical products without damaging the environment.
