Reconciliation Australia is delighted to see BP continue its reconciliation journey, which formally began in 2011 with its first RAP. As a RAP partner, BP is a member of a growing cadre of over 1000 RAP organisations in Australia, all working to build on the key pillars of reconciliation action: relationships, respect and opportunities. The goals BP has set in this Stretch RAP aim to not only promote reconciliation, but to drive real change in the energy sector. Notable aspects of BP’s continuing RAP journey are its commitment to developing and maintaining a culturally aware, and safe, work environment for all staff, and its focus on creating sustainable career paths for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. In this RAP, BP has also committed to maintaining accountability and supporting positive health outcomes for First Nations people by increasing access to Opal® low aromatic unleaded fuel across remote Australian communities – an action that has direct impact on the wellbeing of the community members. I am also pleased to see that BP will continue to foster understanding and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, cultures and histories by embedding cultural protocols and respectful practices into its day-to-day business practices. Such protocols do much to support a culturally safe and respectful workplace. On behalf of Reconciliation Australia I commend BP on its dedication to reconciliation and look forward to following its continued achievements. Karen Mundine Chief executive officer Reconciliation Australia 1 | BP Australia Reconciliation Action Plan 2018-2020 Message from BP Australia president BP has made substantial progress on its journey towards reconciliation. Our commitment to the ongoing delivery of our RAP objectives is unwavering and, while there is more we can and will do, we have established a strong foundation upon which to build. Our focus on boosting cultural awareness and understanding has been an important part of shifting our business, our people and our partners towards reconciliation. In partnership with Supply Nation we have challenged ourselves to create value-adding commercial opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, which we’ve delivered through the introduction of our BP Plus Indigenous fuel card and the recalibration of our supplier diversity strategy. We’ve remained focused on leveraging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander talent to enhance our own business too. With a clear vision for the future, we have created additional pathways to employment. We’re supporting programs such as MURRA that help to build future leaders, and we’ve increased the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees and interns we’ve welcomed into our head office, refinery and retail locations. In addition one of our greatest triumphs, Opal® fuel, continues to help address the social issues associated with petrol sniffing in remote Australian communities. The RAP is an important tool in our journey toward reconciliation as it provides the entire business with direction and accountability. Creating a true sense of ownership has been paramount in developing our third plan and, with this in mind, it has been created in collaboration with key business stakeholders and in consultation with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander team members, partners and suppliers. In doing so, we are reminded of the privilege we are afforded to support development and growth in the communities in which we operate. We acknowledge that reconciliation is not a linear process, but instead a journey that is guided by a shared understanding and common purpose between business, government and the community. BP is committed to embedding reconciliation in the way we do business every day. We’re proud to present our latest Stretch RAP in which our objectives reflect our ambitions to build on the progress we’ve made, improve where possible and keep our minds open to new possibilities. As such, our focus areas for our RAP are: • encouraging cultural respect. Having made strong gains in improving cultural awareness, we are now focused on fostering cultural respect. This represents our commitment to increasing participation and immersion in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. • strengthening partnerships. Our focus on supplier diversity continues and we intend on expanding and strengthening our partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and organisations across all BP businesses in Australia. • unlocking Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander talent. We will continue to build on our success of attracting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander talent by supporting education programs, and enhancing and extending partnerships that facilitate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment opportunities. • leading innovation. Leveraging our commercial and technological capabilities, we will work collaboratively to identify new opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and communities, as we did when developing our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fuel card and Opal® fuel. The activities outlined in this RAP are the responsibility of every one of our employees in Australia. I am encouraged by the success of our past reconciliation efforts and I am proud to present this refreshed and revised plan. I’m confident we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of all Australians. Andy Holmes President BP Australia BP Australia Reconciliation Action Plan 2018-2020 | 2 Our vision for reconciliation Our vision for reconciliation is an inclusive Australia where all people benefit equally from the opportunities we are so fortunate to share. Reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is essential to achieving the economic and social change required for the ongoing prosperity of all Australians. Investing for the long-term future of Australia through building strong relationships, showing respect, and creating opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations is an important aspect of BP’s contribution to Australia. We believe that we all benefit when the whole community thrives. 3 | BP Australia Reconciliation Action Plan 2018-2020 Photo courtesy of Jorge de Araujo: BP’s Chris Lokum (far left), Leanne Miller (second from right) and Georgina Forde (right end of couch) celebrating with the seventh group of graduates from MURRA, one of BP’s corporate partners.

The CSB is a scientific investigative organization, not an enforcement or regulatory body. Established by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the CSB is responsible for determining accident causes, issuing safety recommendations, studying chemical safety issues, and evaluating the effectiveness of other government agencies involved in chemical safety. More information about the CSB is available at www.csb.gov. The CSB makes public its actions and decisions through investigative publications, all of which may include safety recommendations when appropriate. Types of publications include: Investigation Reports: Formal, detailed reports on significant chemical incidents that include key findings, root causes, and safety recommendations. Investigation Digests: Plain-language summaries of Investigation Reports. Case Studies: Reports that examine fewer issues than Investigation Reports. Safety Bulletins: Short publications typically focused on a single safety topic. Hazard Investigations: Broader studies of significant chemical hazards. Safety Videos: Videos that animate aspects of an incident or amplify CSB safety messages.
