Who administers OpenTalk?

Who else can I speak to?

bp encourages speaking up to the channel you are most comfortable, such as your line manager, another member of management, a relevant supporting function such as legal or HR, or any member of Ethics and Compliance.

What happens after I contact OpenTalk?

Once you submit a question or concern via phone or web, you will receive a report key and password which can be used to follow up on your submission. Then, an electronic summary is sent to an OpenTalk Case Manager in bp’s Ethics and Compliance team for review and to determine further action.

What is bp's stance on retaliation?

BP does not tolerate retaliation. We consider acts of retaliation to be misconduct. Our commitment to such is stated in the first part of our Code. We seek to provide a safe, healthy and productive workplace for our employees and our business partners who assist us in our business operations. Every report of retaliation is taken seriously.

Are reports to OpenTalk secure and confidential?

bp uses NAVEX's EthicsPoint case management application to support the administration of OpenTalk. EthicsPoint is hosted on NAVEX's secure servers and is not part of bp’s website or Intranet. Any report you make will be kept confidential to the fullest extent possible consistent with law and good business practices.
