BP announced that, following an in depth review examining the alignment of the climate-related policies and activities of trade associations with BP’s positions, it will leave three U.S. based organisations American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) and the Western Energy Alliance (WEA).
Earlier this month BP introduced its ambition to become a net zero company by 2050 or sooner and to help the world get to net zero, as well as ten aims that underpin it.
These include the aim to set new expectations for relationships with trade associations around the globe. ■
