BP will cut about 15% of its workforce in response to the coronavirus crisis and as part of Chief Executive Bernard Looney’s plan to shift the oil and gas major to renewable energy, it said on Monday.
Looney told employees in a global online call that the London-based company will cut 10,000 jobs from the current 70,100.
“We will now begin a process that will see close to 10,000 people leaving BP – most by the end of this year,” Looney said in a statement.
