Environmental stewardship and sustainability are increasingly significant aspects of BP's strategy, in line with global efforts to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As such, BP Exploration Operating Company Limited must navigate the balance between traditional hydrocarbon exploration and participation in the global energy transition.
