Life & Culture

Our Beliefs

We always strive to do the right thing, from the way we work with local communities to the way we treat our people. We ensure our staff are respected and cared for at work. We’re deeply committed to the communities we work in.  We employ local staff, help to develop national and local suppliers and create meaningful and sustainable impacts in our local communities.

Whether you join as an intern or graduate, the range of opportunities and experiences you’ll get working with us will mean that you’ll never stop learning and finding new career opportunities. You’ll have access to leaders who support your growth and development. You’ll have the opportunity to drive your own career and have flexibility on where and how you work to give you a positive work-life balance. There’s no such thing as a defined career path at bp.

Social responsibility

OzHarvest

bp is a proud and major sponsor of OzHarvest – Australia’s first perishable food-rescue organization that aims to reduce food waste and help deliver more meals to people in need across Australia. As part of our unique five-year partnership, we’re committing up to $1 million annually to support OzHarvest food rescue operations across the country.

McGrath Foundation

The McGrath Foundation is one of Australia’s leading breast cancer support and education charities. The foundation raises money to fund McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia. Our goal is to fund a new McGrath Breast Care Nurse every year.

Indigenous partnerships

bp Australia also has a strong and proud history of working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, we’re committed to supporting our Indigenous communities in many ways.  

We’re proud to create career pathways and employment opportunities through internships, education and supplier partnerships, and by supporting the growth of Indigenous businesses.

Volunteering opportunities

All full-time and part-time permanent employees are eligible for up to two days (pro rata) of volunteering leave. Our early careers employees are among our most active volunteers.
