BP boss says support for leavers a sign of commitment to just transition

The boss at BP says the support provided to people leaving the company during its restructuring could be taken as a sign of its commitment to a just transition.

Company chiefs also insisted BP had made a “strong start” to executing its strategy of transforming into a broad energy company amid a grilling by shareholders at its annual general meeting today.

During the virtual Q&A, an investor asked whether BP would help employees transition from hydrocarbons to other industries once certain sites are decommissioned.
