Comments About Activities
BP is the employer of choice for more than 96,000 people. Here are just a few of the reasons why: Different people, common goals – that sums up our group. All over the world we look for people who share our ambition to be competitive, successful and a force for good. We are committed to equality and diversity and we welcome applications from people who meet our selection criteria, regardless of sex, race or disability. 'I am convinced that BP must be a force for good wherever we operate and that corporate responsibility must remain at the heart of our business, driving everything we do', says Lord Browne of Madingley, BP's group chief executive. The idea of being 'a force for good' underlines all our activities worldwide.

Other Information About Our Organization
Our attitude is that you can do whatever we ask you to do. Whatever you do, wherever you join and whoever you are, you will have the opportunity at BP to tackle challenging projects, always working to deliver against tight timescales in a truly performance-driven culture. Because of the nature of our international business, the scope of our work is vast and this is reflected in most of the roles you might undertake. That means that if you’re working in finance, you’ll be working with large numbers. In procurement, you’ll be responsible for big spending – our annual expenditure is in the region of 40 billion US dollars. In technical and specialist roles, you’ll work alongside the brightest and the best, individuals who will be pushing you to innovate and apply your knowledge. We’d be surprised if you got bored – and we think you’ll actually look forward to coming to work every day. We’re looking for extraordinarily talented individuals who share our values and our passion; who believe in doing the right thing and will strive to make a difference every day.
