Sustainability

Engaging with our stakeholders

Engaging constructively helps us deliver our strategy and sustainability aims. We engage with many different stakeholders, in various ways – from local meetings to global partnerships.

Our main stakeholder groups are employees, customers, investors and shareholders, government and regulators, partners and suppliers, and society.

• Our employees play a critical role in maintaining safe, reliable and compliant operations. We are committed to engaging them in the opportunities and challenges we face, as well as on their own development.
• We engage with governments, regulators and legislators on the development of policies that promote a secure, affordable and lower carbon energy system – enabling us to develop our strategy and embed sustainability across bp.
• Our engagement with local communities ranges from one-to-one conversations with our dedicated community liaison officers to large public consultations.
• We work with NGOs at international, national and local levels. Many of them have complementary expertise on social and environmental issues and we sometimes rely on them to act as a bridge between bp and other stakeholders.
• Our investor relations team coordinates our one-to-one engagement with key investors and our investor events, which include roadshows and results presentations. For more information see the Engaging Stakeholders section in the Sustainability Report 2023.
