City investors push for BP to be more open on climate change policy

Shareholder resolution to be voted on at the company's annual meeting next week

A coalition of major City investors have emerged as key players in forcing BP to be more transparent in how it fights climate change.

Investors holding just under a tenth of all BP shares, equivalent to more than 10bn in value at Monday's prices, put their names to the shareholder resolution, to be voted on at the company's annual meeting next week, the Climate Action 100+ investor group revealed on Tuesday.
