BP p.l.c.

Additional Details

BP p.l.c. is a British multinational oil and gas company headquartered in London, England. They produce oil and gas, trade energy, and make, ship and sell energy products. These include petrol, diesel and jet fuel. BP is the main operator and the largest shareholder (with a 30% stake) in the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline. This pipeline transports oil from Azerbaijan via Turkey, alone covering approximately 28% of Israel's total crude oil imports. Reports from specialized international organizations (such as Oil Change International) and human rights groups indicate that the Azerbaijani oil transported by BP is shipped to Israeli refineries (such as the Ashdod refinery). There, a portion of it is processed into jet fuel for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which is used to refuel fighter jets (such as F-35s) conducting airstrikes on the Gaza Strip Palestinian victims and human rights organizations (such as the International Center of Justice for Palestinians - ICJP) have filed lawsuits and issued legal warning letters against BP in British courts. The lawsuits accuse the company of violating the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and indirectly contributing to potential war crimes by continuing the flow of fuel despite warnings from the International Court of Justice (ICJ). -- Listed on LSE (BP.), BP plc is backed by leading sovereign wealth funds, most notably NBIM, KIA and QIA.
