How was the RAP developed?
The process for developing BP’s RAP has been an experience shared across the business, partners and community. BP engaged with a number of local Aboriginal communities in areas where we operate and have existing relationships, keen to better understand how we could continue to make a positive contribution. In addition, BP drew on the expertise of key Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders such as Marcia Langton and Alison Anderson with whom BP has long-standing relationships.A RAP advisory group consisting of cross-functional representatives, all passionate about the cause, was established. This group spanned all levels of the organisation and rich in their experience and backgrounds, provided input, guidance and feedback key for the development of our RAP.
