Improving people’s lives
Five aims to improve people’s lives
Our aim 11 is to develop enough clean energy to benefit more than 36 million people.
By 2030 we aim to have developed 50GW renewable generating capacity– broadly enough to meet the power needs of 36 million people – including exploring ways to make clean energy accessible to those who need it most.
We have set two objectives for this aim: 50GW renewable energy equivalent developed to final investment decision (FID) by 2030, and programmes to support access and affordability. At the end of 2022, we had 5.8GW brought to FID and 37.2GW in our development pipeline.
We also have initiatives under way to help support access and affordability, including collaborations in India and Angola. In 2022, we launched our social investment policy, making access to affordable low carbon energy a focus for our social investment activities where relevant.
Our aim 12 is to support a just energy transition which advances human rights and education.
We support the Paris Agreement, which recognizes the importance of a just transition – one that delivers decent work, quality jobs and supports the livelihoods of local communities.
To support a just energy transition, we aim to collaborate with key stakeholders and other industries to support the advancement of human rights through the transition. We will do this by developing just transition plans in priority areas and helping the workforce to develop skills for the future energy system, taking a socially inclusive approach. We aim to build stronger relationships with our local communities, based on mutual trust and respect, and we will support civic dialogue, greater transparency and capacity building, where we work.
Our aim 13 is helping more than 1 million people build sustainable livelihoods and resilience.
We will support the communities where we work to build greater resilience and more sustainable livelihoods. We will focus our social investment in support of our sustainability aims. Through these actions we aim to reach more than 1 million people. We will also support our workforce through quality jobs with fair conditions.
Our aim 14 is greater diversity, equity and inclusion for our workforce and customers, and to increase supplier diversity spend to $1 billion.
We want our workforce and customers to experience greater equity – fair treatment according to everyone’s different needs and situations – while also helping our partners in the bp ‘ecosystem’ do the same. We aim to do this by improving workforce diversity and workplace inclusion, making customer experiences more inclusive and increasing our annual expenditure with diverse suppliers, including female, and underrepresented or minority groups (supplier diversity) to $1 billion by 2025.
