BP in New Zealand
BP strives to be a world-class operator, a responsible corporate citizen and a great employer. We have operated in New Zealand since 1946 and we continue to invest heavily in our assets, our infrastructure, our people and the community
About us
We believe in strong, enduring partnerships and we are unique because we have the opportunity to leverage the benefits of global experience, whilst remaining a local New Zealand organisation.
We currently operate more than 100 BP Connect stores and Wild Bean Cafes in New Zealand. We also have a national network of BP branded independent retailers, distributor partners, truckstops, and a terminals and logistics operation. Our wider operations include a leading Castrol lubricants business and an aviation (Air BP) business.
Many of our retail sites are owned and operated by Kiwi businesspeople and roughly 3,000 New Zealanders are employed across our wider operations.
The key to our success in New Zealand is, and always will be:
Our people, our customers and the communities in which we operate.
Our beliefs
‘Who we are’ defines what we stand for at bp. It builds on our best qualities and those things that are most important to us – our commitment to safety, to speaking up if something doesn’t seem right, compliance, care for others and working together as one integrated bp team – while putting an even greater focus on how we can take bp to the next level.
It comprises three simple beliefs that can inspire each of us at bp to be our best every day. We believe that bringing to life all three of these beliefs will give us the energy and drive to deliver our purpose and ambition.
