BP Q3 profits: “Tax these shameless profiteers”, campaigners say

Date: 29 October 2024
Campaigns: Climate

Responding to BP’s Q3 profits out today, Izzie McIntosh, climate campaigner at Global Justice Now said:

With another quarter comes another galling influx of profits for BP. The fossil fuel industry’s profiteering is only made possible through the destruction of the climate, felt most starkly by countries in the global south.

As COP29 approaches, leaders of climate-vulnerable countries will be scrutinising the UK’s commitment to reigning in climate-wrecking companies like BP. If this government wants to be taken seriously by the global south and work effectively for a fair end to the climate crisis, it will tax these shameless profiteers to help fund global climate action.”
