bp is committed to strengthening the balance sheet and continue to target improvement of our ‘A’ range credit metrics through the cycle.
We are targeting net debt of $14–18 billion by end 2027, supported by:
Growing cashflow and returns
Disciplined capital allocation
A $20 billion divestment programme through 2027
All proceeds from the Castrol transaction will be fully allocated to strengthening the balance sheet.
Credit ratings
We are focused on managing our balance sheet to support our strong investment grade credit rating and maintain an active dialogue with three credit rating agencies – Fitch, Moody’s and S&P.
- | Fitch | Moody's | S&P |
Long term credit rating | A+ | A1 | A- |
Outlook | Stable | Stable | Positive |
