Despite today’s uncertain economic conditions and volatile oil prices, global demand for energy is expected to increase in the long term.

Is BP really doing enough to address climate change?

Publicly acknowledged as the first major oil company to advocate precautionary action over climate change, we have since focused on the business opportunities raised by the issue such as increasing energy efficiency in BP operations: by reducing GHG emissions and establishing a number of low-carbon energy businesses. We remain a leading advocate of strong legislation and international co-operation to address climate change.
