Abstract:
|
The case discusses the sustainability development programs initiated by
BP. It also explains in detail the reasons behind BP's decision to start
environmental sustainability and regional development programs. Though
it was one of the top three companies engaged in the oil exploration and
production business, BP adopted a proactive approach toward
environmental sustainability. The environmental and regional development
programs at BP were successful as they reduced environmental pollution
levels in the areas where it operated and also helped in improving the
standard of living of the people inhabiting those areas. The case also
explains the entry of BP into renewable sources of energy such as solar,
wind, and hydrogen.
