Reconciliation

Our vision for reconciliation

Our vision for reconciliation is a unified Australia which embraces and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and traditions and empowers all people to find joy and contentment in who they are and where they come from.  

We believe reconciliation will be achieved through honest acknowledgment and responsibility taken for the injustices of the past, humility and compassion for addressing the challenges of the present, First Nations’ sovereignty and unity as we look towards the future. 


Development of our 2023 – 2026 Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is guided by our sustainability framework, which underpins our net zero strategy. It sets out 20 aims in the areas we believe we can make the biggest difference, not only for bp but for society. 


Five of these aims are focused on people through a just energy transition and sustainable ‎livelihoods, respect for human rights, greater equity and enhanced wellbeing.


Our RAP is in support of these aims and we understand our responsibility and privilege to contribute to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations and the value that doing so can provide towards a reconciled Australia. 

 

Through our (RAP), we have formalised accountabilities to help actualise the economic and social changes required to maintain Australia’s prosperity, for all Australians. Our RAP supports Indigenous communities through employment opportunities, procurement of supplies and services, strategic partnerships, fuel discounts and the sale of Opal® fuel.
