change in the sector.<\/strong><\/p><p>Emeka Emembolu, BP\u2019s North Sea boss, says there are \u201ca lot more people of colour\u201d in the industry than there were when he started at the supermajor over 20 years ago.<\/p><p>But \u201cacross the board\u201d, he stressed that there is \u201cstill a lot\u201d that needs to be done to give people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds more opportunities.<\/p><p>Last year, Oil and Gas UK created the first ever diversity and inclusion index, showcasing the work to be done for a sector which has \u201chistorically struggled to reflect the diversity of the workforce as a whole\u201d.<\/p><p>Mr Emembolu joined BP in 1998 after graduating from Sheffield University with a degree in biochemical engineering.<\/p><p>Since then he has worked for the company across the world, including in Angola, Alaska, North Africa and the US.<\/p><p>After a spell in Houston as vice-president of reservoir development, Gulf of Mexico and Canada, he moved with his family to Aberdeen in July last year to take up the North Sea job.<\/p><p>Speaking at an online event organised by AFBE-UK Scotland, a social enterprise that supports aspiring engineers, particularly those from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, Mr Emembolu shared a story from when he first started out at the oil giant.<\/p><p>\u201cWhen I joined BP I worked at the Grangemouth refinery for a while. We were doing some diversity and inclusion things and there was a chart that had been put up about racial diversity.<\/p><p>\u201cIt was a pie chart that had one line and somebody said to me, that must be you \u2013 there weren\u2019t enough numbers for it to be notable.\u201d<\/p><p>Reflecting on changes within the company, and industry more widely, since then, Mr Emembolu said: \u201cThere are a lot more people of colour and there are a lot more women.<\/p><p>\u201cBut I would say that, across the board, there\u2019s still a lot to do to give people of different colours more opportunities.<\/p><p>\u201cThere aren\u2019t a lot of senior people of colour who are in the types of roles that I\u2019m doing in the UK. What can be done? I think more companies need to take it seriously.\u201d<\/p><p>For BP\u2019s part, Mr Emembolu said the company is \u201ctrying to lead by example\u201d.<\/p><p>He acknowledged that while \u201cwe don\u2019t get everything that we could right\u201d, BP has \u201cmade it a priority\u201d to do more in diversity and inclusion.<\/p><p>And \u201cover the last few years\u201d, Mr Emembolu says that\u2019s something that \u201cmore and more\u201d companies are focussing on, though change is something that will still \u201ctake time\u201d.<\/p><p>On what can be done to accelerate it, he said: \u201cA big thing is to discuss the issue and to put it on the agenda. It\u2019s not comfortable to do that, but it\u2019s the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.energyvoice.com\/\">Source: Energy
