CEO update
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi editors, I had a small request to update the article. Currently, it says in the Management section that Murray Auchincloss is the acting CEO. The "acting" portion of his title was dropped in January, as supported by this BBC article. Would someone be willing to change that, and add a sentence to the History section noting that Auchincloss became CEO in January 2024, similar to what has been done for other leadership changes? I have a COI so would prefer not to make changes myself. I'd really appreciate it. Vishal BP (talk) 10:29, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done. Dormskirk (talk) 10:36, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Dormskirk: thanks! I noticed it also said Auchincloss is interim CEO in the infobox of the Bernard Looney article, would you be willing to make an update there as well? I'd really appreciate it. Either way, thank you. Vishal BP (talk) 10:09, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done. Dormskirk (talk) 10:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Dormskirk: thanks so much! Vishal BP (talk) 14:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Bunge Bioenergia acquisition
edit| | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi editors, last week bp announced that it was taking full ownership of Bunge Bioenergia from Bunge Global for US$1.4 billion. The purchase increases bp's biofuel production capacity by 50,000 barrels per day and revenue by US$2 billion annually. This was reported by Reuters, The Rio Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Would editors be willing to add something to the article about this acquisition? I can provide some exact text if desired but will defer to the community on the content and placement. Thank you for your consideration. Vishal BP (talk) 09:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Vishal BP could you please add your proposed text? At most 1-2 sentences, I don't think this merits more. I would place it in the end of the 2020-present history section. Rusalkii (talk) 23:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rusalkii: I can. What do you think of the following?
In June 2024, BP announced the acquisition of Bunge Bioenergia from Bunge Global for US$1.4 billion. The purchase will increase BP's ethanol production to 50,000 barrels per day and bring in US$2 billion in revenue.[1][2][3]

Done , I've removed the $2 billion in revenue since that appears to be a projection. Rusalkii (talk) 18:06, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Logo history
editAccording to this article, the shield logo was only introduced in 1989. However, the same (or a highly similar one) was already in use in 1982 and in 1987, respectively. The only difference I can see is that it received a yellow border in 1989. --2003:DA:CF2E:4557:10FE:A05F:264:ECF8 (talk) 16:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
