Cautionary Statement:
In order to utilise the 'safe harbor' provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the 'PSLRA') and the general doctrine of cautionary statements, BP is providing the following cautionary statement: The discussion in this announcement contains certain aims, ambitions, targets and other forward-looking statements - that is, statements related to future, not past events and circumstances - with respect to BP's new purpose, ambition and structure.
"These statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as 'will', 'expects', 'is expected to', 'aims', 'should', 'may', 'objective', 'ambitions', 'is likely to', 'intends', 'believes', 'anticipates', 'plans', 'we see', 'is committed to' or similar expressions. In particular, the following, among other statements, are all forward-looking statements: BP's new ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner including its aims regarding emissions across operations, the carbon content of its oil and gas production; a 50% cut in the carbon intensity of products BP sells, methane measurement at major oil and gas processing sites by 2023 and subsequent reduction of methane intensity of operations, and aims to increase the proportion of investment into non-oil and gas businesses over time; aims to help the world get to net zero; plans for incentivising BP's global workforce; plans for a wide-ranging restructuring of the business; the aim to build a more agile, innovative and efficient BP; continuing commitment to safe and reliable operations; commitment to continuing to perform as BP transforms; continuing commitment to the investor proposition including with respect to growing free cash flow and distributions to shareholders over long term, deleveraging the balance sheet, capital discipline, delivering 2021 free cash flow targets and focus on costs and pursuing efficiencies; and commitment to transparency and advocacy for a low carbon world.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will or may occur in the future and are outside the control of BP. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in such statements, depending on a variety of factors, including: the specific factors identified in the discussions accompanying such forward-looking statements; societal shifts in consumer demand; delays to the pace of change; development and use of new technology; timing of bringing new projects on stream; ability to exploit growth or investment opportunities; changes in public expectations and other changes to business conditions; .."
