At each stage of the hydrocarbon value chain there are opportunities for us to create value – both through the successful execution of activities that are core to our industry, and through the application of our own distinctive strengths and capabilities in performing those activities.
Our activities are focused on finding, developing and producing essential sources of energy, and turning these sources into products that people need. We provide our customers with fuel for transportation, energy for heat and light, lubricants to keep engines moving, and the petrochemicals products used to make everyday items like plastic bottles.
We also invest in renewable energy sources, which we believe will be an increasing source of value for BP. Our activities are focused on bio fuels and wind.
As a global group, our interests and activities are held or operated through subsidiaries, branches, joint ventures or associates established in – and subject to the laws and regulations of – many different jurisdictions.
