The People of BP®

My job in procurement in Cologne gives me a window to the wider world. As a global player in procurement, we are in constant contact with our international partners, and this makes my work incredibly interesting. And after work, I often go to the gym with my colleagues.
Carla, Head of Product Management and Development
At BP, I have the freedom and opportunity to develop and implement creative ideas and take on challenging projects. Each day of work is exciting and I enjoy working towards the company's goals with passion and commitment, and with a motivated team behind me.
Carla, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
After my internship at BP, I was given the opportunity to train as an industrial clerk. I immediately felt at ease here as all my colleagues were really welcoming. The training is extremely varied because apprentices spend time in all departments, and even spend a month abroad. All in all: thumbs up!
Mohammad, production planning & control
I started working for Vetra as a young woman. At that time, there weren’t many companies in Mateur. A lot of young companies didn't make it, but Vetra is still going. Many of my colleagues have also been at Vetra for more than 20 years – we are one big family.
Latifa, Cutting Department, BP production Vetra in Tunisia
What I like about Vetra is that, unlike in other companies, I don’t always do the same thing.
