BP Leaving AFPM, 2 Other Associations Following a Review of Climate Policies

摘要

London—BP, following an in-depth review examining the alignment of the climate-related policies and activities of trade associations with BP's positions, has decided to cut ties with the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), the Western States Petroleum Assn. (WSPA) and the Western Energy Alliance (WEA). The company is leaving AFPM and WSPA because of material differences regarding policy positions on carbon pricing. Due to material differences around the federal regulation of methane, as well as asset divestments in the states in which the organization is active, it will not renew its membership with WEA.
