Diversifying our US supply base

Diversifying bp’s supply base unlocks the value and power of an inclusive supply chain and helps boost economic growth in the underserved communities where we live and work.

Supporting the communities where we live and work

At bp, we recognize the importance of just transition – one that delivers decent work and quality jobs and supports the livelihoods of local communities. We are committed to creating value with partners, including small businesses and those owned by people in under-represented groups, such as ethnic minorities, women, veterans and those in the LGBT+ community or with a disability. We want to create opportunities for everyone, no matter their background, to be able to do their part in the energy transition and help boost economic growth in the under-served communities where we operate.

Investing in America

bp has a larger economic footprint in the US than anywhere else in the world. Every major bp business is active here, where we invested about 40 percent of our global capital expenditures in 2024 – more than $6 billion. More than one-third of our global workforce – 30,000 people – is located in the US, and we support more than 300,000 jobs in the country. Diversifying the supply base helps create even more social and economic value. It strengthens bp’s reputation and drives performance while underpinning the strategy.
