Imran is the co-chair of a UK wide network that promotes Ethnic Diversity within BP and led a successful drive for transparency of ethnic minority data across the UK entities within BP. Imran is a mentor to numerous individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds. He has ensured his team is diverse from a colour, gender and sexuality perspective, and has championed fun events that promote open dialogue around race and ethnicity but attract and engage all employees. He has made the case for diversity being good for business rather than simply a corporate responsibility at several senior executive meetings, and has helped secure his network a seat at the table of the group’s HR strategy team. He has participated in EMpower’s mentoring programme and has spoken about successful employee affinity groups at an EMpower event. Along with the co-chair of his network, Imran was invited to be on the panel at an ethnicity network event at UBS alongside Dame Fiona Wolf. He is also the executive sponsor for BP’s involvement with the Career Ready charity, which focuses on getting young people from the local communities that businesses are based in ready for the world of work. Being based in Canary Wharf, talent from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets is not well represented in local businesses. By championing this effort, Imran has supported internships for 10-15 people per year, with 95% of interns from BAME backgrounds.
