Bernard Looney, Upstream chief executive, at the Offshore Europe Gala Dinner in Aberdeen, 2 September 2019: Discusses the vital role of the North Sea oil and gas sector in helping to meet society’s need for cleaner, better energy. Looney talks about how the industry’s track record of innovation is the platform for a future that will see: continued modernization and more efficiency, further emissions reductions and a changing role of oil and gas in tomorrow’s energy system.

We saw a decrease in our direct greenhouse gas emissions in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to actions taken by our businesses to reduce emissions in areas such as flaring, methane and energy efficiency

We believe CCUS has a vital role to play in meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement. It can achieve deep emissions reductions in existing power infrastructure and energy-intensive industries that rely on the use of fossil fuels

Although our priority is to prevent oil spills and other releases, they can still happen. This case study discusses how BP responded to an oil spill in the North Sea

Our safety stories highlight some of BP's environmental and social initiatives from around the world

Our goal is to understand and sustain the health of the environments in which we operate and respect the resource needs of communities which depend on them

We are committed to creating jobs and growing local businesses in the communities in which we operate
