Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct sets out the basic rules our people must follow and explains how our values should guide all of our decisions
Effective 1 January 2012, the new BP Code of Conduct sets the standard we all work to. It is aligned with our values, group standards and legal requirements, and clarifies the ethics and compliance expectations for everyone who works at BP. The Code reflects a values-based approach, where rules are not stated explicitly and everyday business decisions will be guided by our values.
The main structure of the Code remains the same as our previous Code, with sections covering health, safety and the environment; our people, our partners and suppliers, governments and communities; and protecting BP’s assets. Each section contains key principles, basic rules and advice on where to find further information. A new section, ‘Living our Code’, is designed to help people make decisions when faced with dilemmas where there are no clear rules to follow.
Our Code also includes key points from new BP standards related to anti-bribery and corruption, anti-money laundering, competition and antitrust law, and trade sanctions.
