MUSCAT, JUNE 22


As part of a wider focus on labour rights and worker welfare, BP has met with its contractors in an open forum to seek alignment on how to support Oman in being a fair and safe country for all workers. As well as raising awareness of labour rights and worker welfare policies, BP used the forum to share best practice both from its operations in Oman and globally.


The event builds on some important work bp has carried out with contractor companies to improve the quality of their worker welfare policies. A recent example includes BP’s work with local contractor Sarooj Construction which has now adopted enhanced worker welfare policies across all of its operations in Oman; not only within BP contracts.


BP is the strategic partner of Oman’s ‘Insan’ campaign, which aims to raise awareness of human trafficking at a national level, in partnership with the National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking.


BP President Yousuf al Ojaili commented: “BP’s purpose is to reimagine energy for our people and planet. Our sustainability frame, which underpins this purpose and our wider strategy, includes the aim to support a just energy transition that advances human rights and education.” “At BP, we believe all humans deserve to be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect. This forum and the Insan campaign raise awareness of a topic that is not widely discussed in society. It is incredibly important that we start these conversations as they can help protect the wellbeing of vulnerable people that are prone to being trafficked.”
