Oxford University receives £11m from fossil fuel firms, report finds

Figures from oil, gas and petrochemical companies does not include 100m from Ineos in 2021

Oxford University has received more than 11m from oil, gas and petrochemical companies since 2015, according to a new report by students and alumni of the elite university who are calling for it to cut its ties to the fossil fuel industry.

Oxford recently announced plans to eliminate the carbon footprint of its site and supply chain by 2035 to help tackle the climate crisis but, according to the report, departments within the university continue to take funding from and work closely with fossil fuel extraction giants such as Schlumberger, ExxonMobil and BP.
