Episode 2

Today, most of our production is oil and gas, but as bp transitions to an integrated energy company, that will change. These are the stories of the employees who are helping bring the strategy to life. This second episode focuses on our mobility and convenience business, and the people who work at bp retail sites and behind the scenes, serving customers every day at more than 20,000 locations worldwide. These local stores are often critical to the communities where they operate and bp teams form a close bond with regular customers.

 

In this second episode of Who We Are: Stories of our people, hosts Kerry Dryburgh and Emma Delaney chat to three guests who share experiences of supporting their local communities, both as part of their every day and in times of crisis.
