BP executives reveal plans to shift focus from renewables to fossil fuels as profits drop sharply, amid pressure from activist investors.

Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

BP has announced a "fundamental reset" of its strategy, post sharp profit declines due to weaker refining margins and increased operational costs. Their net income fell to $8.9bn in 2024, prompting a shift from a renewable focus to boosting fossil fuel production. Under pressure from activist investor Elliott Management, BP is expected to abandon its ambitious renewable energy targets set five years ago.
