| 2007 | United States of America : The oil and energy company BP recently received "a permit from the state of Indiana to dump more toxic discharges from its Whiting, Ind., refinery into Lake Michigan," reports Advertising Age. The permit, "which allows BP to dump 54% more ammonia and 35% more suspended solids" in the Great Lake, has "enraged" Chicago officials. Chicago's chief environmental officer remarked, "We'd like to have [BP] live up to their advertising." BP's rebranding as "Beyond Petroleum" has sought to associate the company with environmentally friendly initiatives. AdAge calls BP's move "the cardinal sin of touting an environmentally conscious image in marketing -- the central focus of BP's advertising for the past several years -- and failing to live up to the message." A company spokesman said BP had "started advertising in regional newspapers ... to clear up misconceptions about the issue." BP later said it would not increase its Lake Michigan dumping. Then, the Chicago Tribune reported that BP had requested and received an exemption from stricter soot emission limits. | Advertising Age |
| 2006 | United States of America : BP Plc's global management team knew of safety concerns at the company's Texas City, Texas, oil refinery before a deadly explosion last year, U.S. safety investigators said. Flammable vapors were discharged in eight instances between 1994 and 2004 from the same tank that caused the March 2005 explosion, the Chemical Safety Board said in a report. BP did not follow up on a 1994 internal action item to analyze the equipment, which dated from the 1950s, the regulator said. BP's global management was aware of problems with maintenance, spending and infrastructure well before March 2005,'' the board's chairman, Carolyn Merritt, said. BP's inaction caused ``a progressive deterioration of safety at the Texas City refinery,'' the agency said. The board makes recommendations to industry and cannot levy fines. BP agreed in September 2005 to pay a $21.4 million fine to U.S. workplace regulators because of the refinery blast. BP has resolved about 1,000 of roughly 1,300 lawsuits stemming from the incident. | Bloomberg |
| 2006 | United States of America : The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reached a $1.5 million settlement with BP and Shell for alleged violations of the motor vehicle fuels provisions of the federal Clean Air Act. EPA sets gasoline and diesel fuel standards under the Clean Air Act to reduce air pollutants such as smog, carbon monoxide and air toxics from motor vehicles. According to the complaint by the agency, the companies produced and distributed gasoline that failed to meet the regulatory requirements. Use of noncomplying fuel in motor vehicles can cause an increase in emissions that can significantly harm public health. The settlements resolve alleged violations of various fuel standards that occurred from 1999 through 2004 at retail outlets, terminals and refineries located throughout the United States. | CorpWatch |

| 2005 | United States of America : An explosion at an oil refinery in Texas City has killed at least 14 people and injured more than 100, rattled buildings and broke windows for miles around and sent residents of the heavily industrialized town beside Galveston Bay scurrying for cover. The blast occurred in an isomerization unit used to produce octane for gasoline. BP Plc has been fined $28,000 by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration for ``serious'' safety violations in January at a Texas refinery where an explosion in 2005 killed 15 people. | Wired News |

The European Union fined Repsol YPF and Cepsa more than 80 million euros each, AB Nynas Petroleum and Galp Energia up to 10 million euros for fixing the price of a key asphalt ingredient. The European Commission said the cartel fixed prices, sales volumes and market quotas from at least 1991 to 2002. The market was worth up to 286 million euros at the time. BP won full immunity and did not have to pay its 66.42 million euro
"It is unacceptable that these companies cheated customers, public authorities and taxpayers in Spain for almost 12 years by carving up the market," said EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes. "The Commission will not tolerate such illegal activity by companies to swindle clients and we will continue to impose stiff penalties on offenders," Kroes said. As BP was the first company to come forward with information on the cartel, it received full immunity and did not have to pay its 66.42 million euro. |

| 2007 | Ongoing claims in the lawsuits filed in 2005 by people injured in an explosion at BP’s Texas City refinery allege that the company avoided upgrading its safety equipment by hiring a former state regulator to manage relations with state authorities, the Houston Chronicle reported. The plaintiffs argued that BP violated the state’s revolving door law when it hired Ruben Herrera, an air quality engineer formerly with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), placing him in the position of promoting the air quality permit that he had worked on as a state regulator. :  translate | Integrity in Science |
