Patrick Galey, Head of Fossil Fuel Investigations at Global Witness said:
"As much of Britain shelters from Storm Floris, BP is cashing in once again on inflated energy bills that continue to soar above 2021 rates.
"BP’s latest set of results appear to rely on cost-cutting measures, and increased production of planet-wrecking oil and gas. Just this week, it announced what could end up being its biggest fossil fuel discovery in at least a quarter of a century. Whatever short-term gains that might bring BP bosses, the market doesn’t need this and the climate cannot take it.
“Each quarter that passes without a rapid and fair transition away from fossil fuels puts us all closer to disaster. There is no way of ‘maximising shareholder value’ on a dead planet."
