MESSAGE FROMRECONCILIATION AUSTRALIA

Reconciliation Australia would like to formally congratulate BP on the launch of their second Reconciliation Action Plan and first Stretch RAP.As the name suggests, this RAP is all about stretching BPs commitments to reconciliation. It outlines detailed actions and targets in those areas where BP believes it can make the biggest difference: supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, including in the retail range at BP stores; creating a workplace that is culturally aware and conducive to meaningful and sustainable careers for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees; and reducing petrol sniffing in remote communities through the provision of Opal Fuel.

These actions build on the strong foundation which was the legacy of BPs first RAP and reflect an organisation that is committed to a long-term and sustainable approach to embedding reconciliation within their everyday business.

I have been delighted to see the impact made by BP to date and congratulate them on their ongoing commitment to providing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians access to the same social and economic opportunities as all Australians.

On behalf of Reconciliation Australia, I’d like to congratulate BP on this Stretch RAP and wish you all the best for its implementation.

Leah Armstrong Chief Executive Officer Reconciliation Australia

COMING TOGETHER: THE STORY BEHIND THE ARTWORK“Looking up into the milky way and seeing the turtle, a symbol of love; the goanna, a symbol of journey; the barramundi, a symbol of freedom; and the platypus, a symbol of wisdom – all coming together as one around the family members who are sitting around the waterhole. Men are the hunters with their spears and women are the gatherers with their shields, protecting the sacred water hole. Because without water, we are nothing”.BP’s original artwork, used on the cover of this report, was created by artist, Stan Yarramunua who worked in collaboration with employees at our head office in Melbourne during National Reconciliation Week 2013. Stan completed the outline of the artwork and our employees contributed dots to the painting throughout the week.

This artwork is now on display in our Melbourne head office.

BP has a proud history of involvement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities – a journey which began long before our first Reconciliation Action Plan was launched in 2011.The first Reconciliation Action Plan was an important step for BP as it formalised our ongoing commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Since then, we have continued to invest in activities that provide mutually beneficial opportunities for the communities in which we do business.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan 2014 concentrates on four key areas which build on our past experiences with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These areas were identified through extensive engagement with our employees, communities and external stakeholders. I am pleased to report that we have made some strong progress in these areas, providing the foundation to achieve more going forward.

The four key areas in our Reconciliation Action Plan are:

• Improving Cultural Awareness. By helping our employees to understand the issues and challenges facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, they can be confident they are supporting programs that are contributing to close the gap.

• Developing Supplier Diversity. We have built on the success of our Indigenous Business Development Program and engaged new suppliers through our membership with Supply Nation. The result has been the launch of a new Indigenous Retail Range at our regional BP stores, with fifty cents from each item sold donated to the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation. To date, close to $70,000 has been raised to support the ALNF’s Early Language and Literacy Program for Indigenous children.

• Pathways to Employment. BP remains committed to building a workforce representative of the communities in which we operate. Our aim is to increase the percentage of BP’s workforce identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander to 2.5%. Whilst we recognise we must overcome some challenges to achieve this, we have focussed on a number of activities to build sustainable employment pathways including:

° In July 2012, BP Australia became a signatory to the Australian Employment Covenant, committing to 300 job opportunities for people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait heritage over the next ten years.

° We welcomed our first intake of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander interns through our new partnership with Career Trackers in November 2013. We placed five Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across our business. The results were very positive with a further ten students to join the program in 2014 and plans to increase the number of interns working at BP in the years ahead.

• Continuing to supply Opal® Fuel. BP designed and launched this low aromatic fuel to reduce petrol sniffing in remote communities. We are delivering programs that encourage community acceptance of Opal® Fuel to generate greater benefits for local communities.

These four key areas remain our focus as we launch our second Reconciliation Action Plan. By committing to clear objectives and embedding activities into our business, we can ensure our Reconciliation Action Plan programs are sustainable over the long term.

BP is proud to be a part of the rich cultural heritage of Australia and is committed to making a difference by supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

BP’S VISIONFOR RECONCILIATION

Our vision is that the communities in which we operate will benefit from our presence – through the sustainable employment opportunities created, the skills developed and the investment of our financial and people resources.In return, we hope to gain a greater understanding and participation in the vibrant and diverse communities where we do business.

As a multinational organisation employing thousands of Australians, BP wants our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and overall approach to reconciliation to reflect the unique values of Australian society. We believe that ‘mates help mates out’.

We want to do more to ensure a fair go for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, and continue to lead where we can be most effective – as an authentic and responsible corporate citizen.

We will work towards improvements that have mutual advantage and contribute to the real, independent growth of communities where we operate.

We do this to support Australia’s prosperity and our own.

We do this because it’s the right thing to do.

OUR RAP JOURNEY

Opal® Fuel was introduced into 37 remote communities across the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.

Indigenous Business Development Program delivered to two participants, in partnership with Rio Tinto.

BP’s CEO and Downstream Executive team spent a week in Alice Springs to consult with communities first-hand as part of the RAP process and to develop a greater appreciation of the issues facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

In 2002, BP received an email via our website.

“As I write this, I can see an 11-year-old girl through the window with half a coke bottle containing petrol strapped over her nose and mouth. I don’t know if she will make her 12th birthday. Is there anything you can do?”

This was an email BP could not ignore. It resulted in the development of Opal® Fuel, a low aromatic fuel designed to reduce the incidence of petrol sniffing.

HOW WE ARE TRACKING

Exceeded Achieved Ongoing Cancelled> 9

SUPPLIER DIVERSITY


Organise an event inviting Supply Nation (formally AIMSC) listed and/or accredited Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses to:

• Share information on their products and services

• Learn about BP’s business needs

• Receive advice and support on procurement matters.

Examine BP’s tender process and where appropriate, include community investment/Indigenous criteria in our tenders.

In 2012, BP Procurement held workshops in four states inviting AIMSC (now Supply Nation) suppliers to attend to learn about BP’s business and share lessons learned in engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander suppliers.

BP has developed a sustainable procurement strategy, which includes Indigenous criteria in our procurement decisions.

Measure and improve annual procurement spend with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses year-on-year.

Spend with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses reached over $1 million in 2013.

Introduce at least one partnership program with guidance from external Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander advisors.

Our Indigenous Retail Range was introduced with guidance from Supply Nation.

Continue to provide at least one Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander business with financial and/or in-kind support with the intention of supporting business enterprise and capacity and skill building.

PATHWAYS TO EMPLOYMENT


Scope and develop a BP partnership program. BP has a partnership with the AIEF to provide scholarships for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and to provide mentors and tutors for students.

Recruit an Indigenous Employment Manager. Aboriginal Participation Manager employed with the key goal of developing and implementing BP’s Indigenous Employment Strategy.

Establish an ‘Assistant Terminal Trainee Program’ in three terminals for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander recruits.

A project was scoped to find local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates to work in one of our North West Australian terminals. After much discussion the project was replaced due to the ongoing supervision requirements and limited resources available at each site. Lessons learned were incorporated into the Aboriginal Employment Strategy.

Embed an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander recruitment and retention policy into BP’s Policies and Procedures.

This should be based on best practices as determined by consultations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders and other organisations that have successfully embedded a similar policy.

Consultation with ‘best practice’ organisations for best practice policy and procedures completed December 2012.

A review and update of BP Australia and its subsidiaries, policies and procedures remains on-going into 2014.

Improve the process for gathering applicant data and establish a baseline of current staff who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Improved SAP system to ensure it can capture data on new recruits that elect to identify. Subsidiary companies, data capture processes for new recruits to be completed.

Increase the percentage of BP’s workforce identifying as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people from 2.1% (2011 Baseline) to 2.5%.

BP remains committed to building a workforce representing the communities in which we operate => 2.5% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The timeline has been revised beyond 2013 to reflect recent changes to the business and it’s processes and a subsequent resetting of the baseline. BP are focusing on a number of initiatives to build sustainable employment pathways and increase representation.

Through BP’s participation in the North West Shelf Venture (NWSV) operated by Woodside Energy, BP will continue to invest in pathways between education and employment by supporting the:

1. Warrgaumargardi Yirdiyuburrah (WY) program aimed at increasing local community based employment and training opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Roebourne.

BP continues to provide financial support to the Joint Venture programs.

2. Gumala Mirnuwarni - a collaborative partnership between the Roebourne Aboriginal Community, industry and government that aims to improve the educational outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students within the Shire of Roebourne

BP continues to provide financial support to the Joint Venture programs.

3. Mingullathardo Indigenous Enterprise Capacity project which assists the Mingullathardo Aboriginal community to become economically self-sustaining through the development of community owned and managed business ventures. The project combines community enterprise development with employment and training opportunities (including job readiness) for Aboriginal people residing within the Shire of Roebourne.

BP provided financial support to this Joint Venture program which is now complete.

Identify and commit to one new program in support of education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

BP currently supports the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation and the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation to improve education outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth.

Maintain current levels of funding with Medina Primary School and Gilmore College in WA.

BP Kwinana Refinery supports Medina Primary school and Mooditj Kulungars Playgroup as part of their local Community Investment Program.

Identify and implement one new program in QLD. BP partnered with the Smith Family and Budburra Books to develop learning material for Cherbourg State School that would help fill a gap in their current learning.

In 2012, BP announced a $1 million partnership with the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF). The not-for-profit foundation was established in 2008, to provide scholarships which enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to attend some of Australia’s best schools and universities. It also offers mentoring and career support to ensure that students make a successful transition from school to further studies or employment, productive careers and fulfilling lives.

Soon after the partnership was announced, BP provided volunteer mentors and tutors to support students in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth through the AIEF Mentor Program. The program pairs AIEF Scholarship Students with experienced, professional mentors from AIEF’s Corporate Partners and aims to create structured and trusting relationships to support students through their senior years at school and beyond.

BP Senior Cost Manager Nick Moore said he was looking to give something back and jumped at the opportunity to become an AIEF Mentor in 2013. Nick was paired with Melbourne Grammar School Year 10 student Kade. They soon discovered they had plenty in common, including interests in the Australian Football League (AFL) and fishing; they even shared a favourite fishing spot in East Gippsland, near Kade’s hometown of Bairnsdale in Victoria.

“It’s been really easy to get to know Kade,” Nick explained. “At first we chatted about our similar interests but now we talk a lot more about his career, his football, his heritage and the different connections I can help him with.” One such connection was a meeting Nick organised between Kade – who plans to study law after school – and one of the senior lawyers at BP. “That was really interesting,” Kade said. “It sort of set me on to the different parts of law that I could study. I had never thought about the commercial side as much as the criminal side, but now I’m probably more interested in commercial law.”

Nick also organised a meeting for Kade with his nephew, a former AFL player who overcame a sporting injury similar to one Kade is suffering. Nick’s nephew was involved at the highest level of the sport for a decade and Kade described it as “awesome” to meet such an inspiring footballer.

Kade believes having a mentor is a great opportunity for any student: “Just embrace it – it’s pretty awkward at the start, but that sort of seems to fade after the first two times. You’ve sort of both got to make an effort.” Nick agrees: “The relationship builds step by step – don’t try and push things too quickly. The students are young men and women still finding their way, so you need to put in the effort to build that relationship slowly.”

MENTORING STUDENTS IN THE AIEF PATHWAY PROGRAM

“BP has made much more than a financial commitment to AIEF. They have encouraged people at all levels of their organisation to personally engage with our work. And this engagement – whether it’s the public advocacy of AIEF Ambassador Dr Philip Home or the one-on-one support provided by volunteer mentors like Nick – is essential for AIEF’s success.”Andrew Penfold CEO AIEF

REBECCA MARTINSharePoint Administrator – Enterprise Data

“Some friends from Monash University in Melbourne invited me to a Career Trackers Information Session last year, so I went along to hear about their successes and decided to get involved. My internship was such an invaluable experience; I was placed in an area that enabled me to really use and hone my skills and interests in web technology.

A bunch of really exciting things were happening around my business area within the company, and I was given real responsibilities. The people I worked with were amazing and my team leader was very generous with her time, helping me to develop my skills. Instead of feeling like I was ‘the work experience kid’, I was a real and valued member of the team. At the beginning of my internship, I had the opportunity to introduce myself to the regional Information Technology team and deliver a presentation about my culture and where I had come from. Everyone found it really enlightening and it was great to be able to explain some cultural sensitivities to my team. Everyone at BP values diversity and inclusion and this invites many different people to contribute to the workplace.

My internship was invaluable in terms of adding to my professional profile and the experiences I could draw from in interviews. It ultimately helped me to secure a graduate position in technology consulting. I’m really looking forward to commencing that job next year, after I finish my final semester of my Masters of Applied Information Technology at Monash.

I know that doing the internship set me apart from other applicants in my industry and my experience will mean that I hit the ground running as an effective employee when I start my new job.”

DANNY HAWKINGChief Information Officer – BP Australia

“From my perspective, this entire experience has been rewarding on several fronts. Firstly, by partnering with Career Trackers we have been able to provide an opportunity to someone that needed an opportunity.

Secondly, through this partnership we (myself and my team) have learned so much more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. This included some of the challenges that are still to be addressed and ways that we can all contribute to beating those challenges.

And finally, we have been very fortunate to have Rebecca join us initially for an 11 week period, then later on a part-time basis for the remainder of the year. She is a tremendously talented individual, extremely popular right across the team, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavours. We know she will be successful – and I feel privileged that we have played even a small part to help her on her journey.”

RELATIONSHIPS

Johnny Ringo was born with a severe cleft palate, and has experienced many difficulties overcoming his condition without any medical help. Whilst he is significantly behind the other children in language development, he has the sweetest temperament, a real sense of humour, and the most heart-warming smile.Through the support of the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation’s (ALNF) Early Language and Literacy Program for Indigenous children, Johnny is now able to communicate more easily with his teachers and classmates. He is improving more and more everyday and is eagerly engaging in conversation and telling stories with his friends.

“Having been a part of leading a successful Indigenous Employment initiative within the heritage Regional Retail business, I can say that it is imperative that Indigenous initiatives are OWNED by the business itself… that means that each individual believes and embraces the initiatives, and then collectively in a well thought out plan, the business itself takes responsibility for driving the initiative …ultimately, the initiative becomes part of the ongoing culture and fabrication of the business.”

Rob Plecher Terminals and Logistics Optimisation Manager

RESPECT

BP’s business has many touch points in rural and remote locations, through our exploration and production, retail and terminal operations.

When BP put forward a challenge to its staff to identify opportunities that may add value to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in which they operate, BP’s Regional Retail Merchandising Manager, Dean Hadden, decided this was an area where he could get involved.With the support of Supply Nation, Dean was able to conduct research and find some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander suppliers who would be suitable for a new Indigenous Retail Range. Dean met with these suppliers to see whether they would be interested and have the capacity to supply at a wholesale level. Indigiearth and Native Oz Cuisine quickly got on board, even though they had never worked on such a large scale before.

Over the coming months, the two businesses worked closely with Dean to overcome some of the challenges they faced with the prospect of supplying to a national retailer. BP utilised their Indigenous Business Development history to provide support to Indigiearth and Native Oz Cuisine in the areas where they most needed help.

The Indigenous Retail Range was launched into selected BP stores across regional Australia in 2013.

“The BP and Native Oz Cuisine partnership has enabled our company to gain knowledge and traction regarding the snack food market,” commented Greg Dimopolous from Native Oz Cuisine. “BP have worked with us to identify obstacles, such as distribution, and have helped address them. BP have also understood our marketing strategy and are working with us to achieve entry into as many BP sites as possible to allow viability for our national advertising campaign.”

Sharon Windsor from Indigiearth is pleased that the partnership has opened up doors within her community. “Aboriginal growers provide their produce for me to create the products, so it’s helping the wider Aboriginal community – it really goes a long way.”
