BP Faces Triple Climate Rebellion as Shareholders Reject Plans to Scrap Climate Reporting and Online-Only Meetings

BP suffered a major shareholder revolt at its AGM, with more than 50% voting against plans to scrap climate reporting and replace in-person meetings with online-only events. About 18% opposed re-election of chair Albert Manifold, who will remain in his role.
