Our culture and people
Our culture, core values and team members drive our success. We pride ourselves on demonstrating that we are a values-led company, passionate about diversity, inclusion and equity. We care deeply about creating a safe and healthy place for people to work and encourage a culture of openness and integrity. We are invested in continuous growth across all areas and this is reflected across the business from our team members through to customers, partners and the communities we work with.
Inclusive and equitable working
VIBES: Volunteering. Inclusivity. Belonging. Equality. Society.
Lightsource bp is an agile and diverse organisation, driven by our entrepreneurial spirit. Our VIBES programme encourages individuality and creative thinking which drives our success and ability to innovate. We have created an open and inclusive business so our people can contribute towards the growth and success of our company, encouraging global collaboration and equality.
That said, there is still much more to do. We have to continue to push the boundaries of our thinking, keep improving on diversity, equity and inclusion – and keep the vibrancy and openness of our culture alive.
As we continue to deliver solar power to our world, VIBES holds us accountable to our core values, and drives us to become better people and a better business through our growth. It aligns with the ‘People’ pillar of our sustainability strategy and helps us create a positive social impact for our people, partners and communities.
Our core values
