The architect of BP’s failed green energy agenda will leave the embattled oil company within months as it continues its retreat from low-carbon investments amid a sharp fall in profits.

The oil company said Giulia Chierchia, the executive in charge of BP’s sustainability strategy, would step back from her role from 1 June 2025 to “pursue other opportunities” outside the company. She will not be replaced.
