discusses the impact of the companys operations on the environment and how it approaches these concerns. (The information in this paper comes from the BP website, which may seem
that it would necessarily be biased. However the company is publicly traded and audited, so that it seems the information it provides can be trusted, though of course it
will always emphasize positive developments.) PART I Environmental Impact - Air BP, as an energy company, has a significant impact on many environmental factors and seems to be
cognizant of that fact. The company says that it takes its "responsibility for controlling air emissions seriously, and [tries] to minimize their impact on human health and the environment"
(Air emissions, 2005). Because BP is a multinational company they recognize that problems of air quality exist everywhere, but they believe "it makes sense to deal with air emissions
at a local level" and tackle these problems at the source (Air emissions, 2005). In 2004, the companys total emissions (defined as the aggregate of "all monitored pollutants excluding carbon
dioxide") fell by 5% from 2003 levels-a "significant" decrease (Air emissions, 2005). "The 2004 emissions total is 37% lower than the 1,500 kilo-tonnes reported in 1999" (Air emissions, 2005).
BP Global states plainly that its operations "result in the emission of various air pollutants" some of which can "have a damaging impact on air quality and pose a
threat to health and the environment" (Air emissions, 2005). BPs operations emit many pollutants including "methane, non-methane hydrocarbons, sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide and particulates" which are
