Towards a more inclusive future – Transforming lives and communities

BP S.A. has redefined what it means to be inclusive in the workplace by launching a transformative labor inclusion program aimed at integrating people with disabilities into the company’s daily operations. In a country where only 32% of people with disabilities over 14 have formal employment, this initiative emerges not only as a corporate responsibility effort, but as a deeply human and courageous step toward equality.

The program began in 2022 through a strategic alliance with Casa Grande, a daycare and training center for individuals with disabilities. Together, they developed a comprehensive inclusion strategy that includes job training, DEIB-certified team awareness, and tailored onboarding. Two individuals, Milagros Medina and Mariano Dilascio, were the first to be formally hired—marking a historic moment for the company and setting a precedent in their community.

What makes this project remarkable is that it goes beyond checklists or quotas. It focuses on transformation: of individuals, of teams, and of organizational culture. The stories of Milagros and Mariano—shared internally and externally—have sparked a cultural shift inside BP and have already inspired other companies to follow their lead. From volunteer programs to awareness workshops, and from official recognitions to systemic change in hiring practices, this initiative demonstrates that inclusion is not just an HR policy—it’s a path to build a better society.
