Last month marked the second anniversary of the BP oil disaster at Deepwater Horizon. This anniversary was marked by a protest from some shareholders during the company's annual meeting. The group's management has understandably tried to demonstrate how far it has moved on during the last two years - and not just by firing those deemed culpable. It is a good time to reflect on the lessons learned, from a guality perspective.For those who need reminding, on 20 April 2010, an explosion on board the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon caused the deaths of 11 oil workers and triggered an environmental crisis on the beaches around the Gulf of Mexico. The US justice department has not yet apportioned exact blame for the events.
