The need for bp to be committed to a robust diversity, equity and inclusion agenda is greater than ever. And we know that diverse, inclusive groups make better decisions, and better decisions benefit us all. Our leadership across bp remains committed to creating a diverse and equitable workplace for all employees and we need to have a workforce reflective of the communities we live in. We’re committed to real progress. And while we’re proud of the work we’ve done so far, we’ll always work to make bp better.
