BP has demonstrated a comprehensive approach to disclosing its climate lobbying efforts. The evidence shows that it names numerous specific policies and regulatory proposals across multiple jurisdictions, provides details about how it engages—such as submitting formal comments, hosting roundtables, and testifying before legislative committees—and consistently identifies policymaking targets, including government agencies and parliaments. BP also makes it clear which outcomes it seeks, including encouraging certain states to join emissions trading programs, advocating regulatory changes for methane emissions, supporting new low carbon fuel standards, and amending rules for incentives like the Section 45V clean hydrogen tax credit. By detailing where it lobbies, how it does so, and what changes it wants to see, BP demonstrates a high level of transparency around its climate-related policy advocacy.

BP demonstrates a comprehensive climate lobbying governance process that is evidenced by robust internal oversight, regular monitoring of both direct and indirect lobbying activities, and clearly defined accountability measures. The company has published detailed reviews of its trade association memberships – for example, BP states, "In April 2022 we published our second detailed trade associations review," and has committed to ongoing updates on partially aligned associations. This detailed review process is complemented by explicit commitments to align its advocacy efforts, as seen in the assertion that "Our Aim 6 is to more actively advocate for well-designed policies that will support net zero." Moreover, BP's governance is reinforced through involvement of top-level oversight, with evidence citing that its board, via the Safety & Sustainability Committee, as well as high-level groups like the Issues & Advocacy meeting and Sustainability Forum, are actively engaged in overseeing these processes. Despite some sources lacking explicit details on direct lobbying, the overall evidence – including regular assessments, clear policies on leaving misaligned associations, and designation of responsible individuals such as senior executives – indicates a robust and transparent framework for climate lobbying alignment at BP.
