bp’s impact on the UK’s regional economies
We spent over £4.3bn with over 10,000 suppliers from all four corners of the UK and are backing the drive to cleaner, secure and sustainable energy. Around 37% of the spending was in London (£1.6 billion), while 21% of spending was in Scotland (£910 million) and 15% in South East (£650 million).
In terms of employment, we supported 75,000 direct and indirect jobs across the UK.
London, Scotland and the South-East were the biggest jobs beneficiaries. Counting direct and indirect impacts, we supported the greatest amount of employment in London (17,300 jobs), Scotland (13,600 jobs), and the South-East (13,100 jobs). Scotland, the North-East and Wales experienced disproportionately large impacts relative to total employment.
