We have expanded the list of climate policies we assess company engagement with to incorporate land-use related policy, referring to legislative or regulatory measures to enhance and protect ecosystems and land where carbon is being stored. Assessments under this category are currently underweighted in terms of their contribution to the overall company metrics. This weighting will be progressively increased over the next 6 months.
We adjusted the terminology used to describe the queries running down the left-hand side of our scoring matrix and added additional explanatory text to the info-boxes. This has no impact on the scores and methodology. It has been done following user feedback to improve clarity.

Alignment of climate activities and positions Although CAPP does not explicitly support the goals of the Paris Agreement, it does see climate change as an important global issue and supports Canada’s plan of action. The association takes an outcomefocused approach and is supportive of action to tackle methane emissions. CAPP has not publicly supported federal and provincial carbon pricing frameworks in Canada. Aligned: Paris Agreement, climate science, reducing emissions, technology. Partially aligned: Carbon pricing. Not aligned: None. No position: Energy efficiency, carbon offsets. Action We have communicated this potential misalignment and our expectations – in terms of climate policy alignment – to association leadership and to those BP employees who work with CAPP"

Climate Lobbying Overview: BP is strategically engaged across multiple aspects of climate and energy policy. BP’s top line statements on climate change appear to be largely positive. However, engagement with detailed climate policy and regulation appears to remain mixed, and the company appears to support a continued role for fossil fuels in the energy mix.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: In the company's 2022 industry association review, BP recognized the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as the primary source of information on climate science and stated support for the Paris Agreement. In the company’s 2022 climate policy positions, it stated that it supported the ‘acceleration of climate ambition in revised NDCs ahead of and post-COP26’ and that it also supports ‘the decision by an increasing number of countries to declare net zero GHG emission targets and goals by 2050 or sooner’.
BP’s position on climate regulation appears to focus on the need for a carbon price. Within its 2022 climate policy positions document, BP stated that it supported an ‘economy-wide carbon price’, while also supporting mandates and standards through regulation. In October 2021, BP supported ‘robust climate provisions’ in the US Build Back Better Act, which includes carbon pricing mechanisms amongst other forms of policy, as part of a joint letter addressed to US congressional leadership.
Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: BP appears to be highly engaged with climate-related regulations, with mostly mixed positions. BP has appeared to support certain policies related to carbon taxation, for example in its May 2022 climate policy positions document, it stated support for a ‘well-designed carbon price – whether by means of a carbon tax or a cap and trade scheme underpinned by emissions trading’. BP has stated support for carbon tax policy, such as Washington State’s cap and invest programme, according to the company’s 2022 Net Zero report. Also, in its May 2022 climate policy positions document, BP stated that it supports the use of emissions trading. For example, In January 2021, a BP America representative testified in favor of Washington State SB-5126 to introduce an emission trading scheme for the state.
BP appears to have a mixed stance towards renewable energy legislation. In its May 2022 climate policy positions document, BP stated that it supports legislation that promotes the growth of renewable energy. Nevertheless, in comments submitted to the consultation on the Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) revision in February 2021, BP advocated for a technology neutral approach, promoting non-renewable and low-carbon fuels equally to renewable fuels, while also opposing the expansion of the RED to aviation and maritime sectors. However, the company did support ambitious targets for sustainable aviation fuels as part of the ReFuelEU initiative in June 2021.
Regarding greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations, BP’s messaging appears to be mixed. In its May 2022 climate policy positions document, BP states support for well designed standards to reduce GHG emissions, adding to its support for federal methane regulations in the US. Despite stating support for the EU’s Methane Regulation for the energy sector in January 2021 comments, BP advocated for weaker monitoring frequency measures and while it supported flaring standards, it claimed the proposed requirements would not always be feasible in April 2022 comments. Additionally, in the US, BP’s position on the EPA’s proposed methane rules in January 2022 appeared to be mixed. While it supported the development of standards, it called for a methane intensity target with seemingly longer compliance periods, although it is unclear how this would affect the stringency of the EPA's proposed methane standard.
Positioning on Energy Transition: While BP appears to message positively surrounding the energy transition, it continues to support a long-term role for fossil fuels in the energy mix, and its communications on policy related to the energy transition appears to be mixed. In its May 2022 climate policy positions document, BP stated that it believes that the world is not on a sustainable path and requires a rapid transition to a lower carbon energy system, and it supports ‘a net zero energy system and policies that are well designed to deliver this outcome consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement’. Emails from May 2022 from BP to EU Commissioner Adina-Ioana Vălean office, obtained through a freedom of information request, show that BP supported 70–75% of total electricity coming from renewable energy.
However, in a consultation response from April 2022 on the EU’s Hydrogen and Gas Decarbonization Package, BP supported the policy with major exceptions by advocating for a ‘technological approach’ to hydrogen production and appeared to support the inclusion of fossil gas by supporting a certification scheme based on carbon intensity rather than method of production. In the US, BP submitted comments in June 2022 on Consideration of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Natural Gas Infrastructure Projects. In these comments it appeared to support the continued role for fossil gas in the energy mix without being dependent on the use of carbon capture and storage.Meanwhile, in the UK, BP’s senior vice-president gave oral evidence to the Environmental Audit Committee in July 2022, in which she appeared to support the energy transition while also supporting a continued role for fossil fuels in the energy mix.
BP appears to be supportive of policies supportive of the decarbonization of transport. In a letter to policymakers in Illinois in March 2022, BP supported new rules to aid the development of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and accelerate EV uptake. In New Zealand, BP supported the electrification of transport and the phase-out of internal combustion engines (ICE) in June 2021 comments to policymakers. BP CEO Bernard Looney signed a joint letter in June 2022 calling for sustainable aviation fuel mandates and ICE phase-outs, while in the company’s 2020 sustainability report, published in 2021, he stated support for the UK’s ICE phase out target.
Industry Association Governance: In April 2022, BP released a progress update based on its previous association review, in which it gives details of any misalignment on climate change policy with industry associations it holds a membership with. However, BP only disclosed details of its influence within associations it found to be ‘partially aligned’, with no details given on memberships it has found to be ‘aligned’. BP outlined its ongoing engagement with three 'partially aligned' associations that are covered by InfluenceMap, (American Petroleum Institute, National Association of Manufacturers and the US Chamber of Commerce. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and the Australian Institute of Petroleum are now deemed to be aligned, having been determined to be only partially aligned in its 2021 review. Nevertheless, BP remains a member of these 'partially aligned' associations. Although BP has publicly declared misalignment with the Dutch association VNO-NCW on its carbon tax position, it was found to be fully aligned with the association in its 2022 review.
