Whereas the world has declared to drive down greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions this decade, the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables presents great opportunities for an integrated energy multinational. We believe that BP could lead and thrive in the energy transition by meeting the increasing demand for energy services while reducing GHG emissions to levels consistent with the global intergovernmental consensus specified by the Paris Accord. Because the company’s existing aims covering Scope 3 do not equate to Paris-aligned targets for all BP’s Scope 3 emissions by 2030, we support the company to advance these aims. We, the shareholders, understand this support to be part of our fiduciary duty to secure the long-term interest of the company and to protect all our assets in the global economy from devastating climate change; limiting global warming is essential to risk management and responsible stewardship of the economy. Backing from investors that are determined to achieve the goal of Paris gained momentum since 2016, when 2.7% voted in favour of the Follow This climate resolution. In 2022, 15% voted in favour at BP, and up to 39% at other oil majors; this includes the support of the ten largest investors in the Netherlands who voted in favour of Follow This climate resolutions.
