  • BP’s fourth quarter and full-year 2023 earnings call updates showcase the company’s robust growth strategy and progressive journey from an international oil company (IOC) to an integrated energy company (IEC).
  • The firm shows a steadfast commitment to rendering higher margins with reduced emissions, evident from the introduction of biofuels, sustainable aviation fuel and biodiesel to customers while concurrently reducing their plants’ carbon footprints.
