Climate investors give BP until April 1 to include resolution or risk court action - Reuters

Climate investors have issued BP an April 1 deadline to include a shareholder resolution on climate strategy or face legal action. The ultimatum reflects growing pressure from institutional investors demanding that the oil giant commit to specific emissions-reduction targets and climate governance measures. If BP does not comply, the investors plan to pursue court proceedings to force the company's hand on climate disclosure and accountability. This represents an escalation in the years-long shareholder activism campaign targeting major fossil-fuel producers over their climate commitments. The deadline underscores tensions between energy companies' profitability interests and investor demands for alignment with net-zero climate goals.
