The sponsorship is underpinned by BP’s global aim to enhance the wellbeing of employees, contractors and local communities.

The oil, gas and energy partnership will allow HHTS to continue delivering programs and resources that aim to improve mental health and wellbeing outcomes in the road transport, warehousing and logistics industries.

BP operates a large truck stop network across the nation with over 500 sites, which it says provides safe and clean facilities for truck drivers to refuel and refresh.

The new partnership will allow HHTS to leverage BP’s network and deliver on-site programs to reach truck drivers and Australians working in the trucking industry who might not otherwise have access to support.

“Transport workers play an essential role in our operations and are vital to Australia’s supply chains, and we’re incredibly proud to be supporting the mental health and physical wellbeing of these hard- working individuals at our truck stops and travel centres,” says Frédéric Baudry, president, BP Australia and SVP fuels and low carbon solutions, Asia Pacific.

“BP’s global sustainability frame includes an aim to enhance the wellbeing of employees, contractors and local communities.

“We believe innovative programs and partnerships such as this are extremely important in ensuring Australia’s valued truck drivers, many of whom are also our customers and logistics partners, can access critical health support and services while on the road so they can continue to keep our nation moving.”

Naomi Frauenfelder, HHTS CEO, says the not-for-profit entity is extremely delighted to welcome BP on board as a foundational sponsor.

“Their contribution to the foundation allows us to accelerate key projects and provides us with the opportunity to reach drivers while they’re out on the road, providing access to tools and support.”
