Nope, it’s not #AprilFoolsDay. BP is *actually* partnering with NASA to drill on the moon and Mars…and because it will help BP advance its oil and gas drilling on Earth. 😠 Because burning one planet isn’t enough for bp. 🔥🌎🛢️ theguardian.com/business/artic…

Great new op-ed from John-Paul Stonard in The Art Newspaper! “The sponsorship from BP [at the British Museum] is essentially a payment for reputation enhancement…from a company that, under its new CEO, has announced downgrading renewable energy projects.” theartnewspaper.com/2024/07/26/fro…

Earlier this year, several architect groups said they wouldn’t bid for the British Museum’s redevelopment due to sponsorship by oil giant BP. 🔥🛢️ We urge the shortlisted architects to reconsider and withdraw their bids, until BP is dropped by the Museum! architectsjournal.co.uk/news/british-m…

This. Is. Grim. 🤢 BP is cutting renewables. Putting billions into more oil and gas. But now, it’s desperately greenwashing its image…by sponsoring and renaming a music arena in Birmingham but using its EV charging brand! 🫨🛢️🎶

BREAKING! Tonight, as the audience arrived for the ‘Press Night’ of #OVTheRealThing, an AdVan pulled up at The Old Vic playing testimony from those impacted by its sponsor, fossil and arms funding bank RBC… 🎭🛢️🌎 …until the theatre called the police! 😮 1/5

The Old Vic may not want to talk about what their sponsor RBC funds, so we made sure that the audience for the ‘Press Night’ of #OVTheRealThing, saw the truth of fossil and arms funding bank RBC... 🎥

“We have to be vigilant that we don’t allow our culture-making to become commodified, to be used as a product to clean up a brand.” Our Co-Director Chris Garrard spoke to The Stage as part of this new piece on the challenges of ethical sponsorship of the arts… 1/3

Shame on the @BritishMuseum Director. "I think you have to have very good reasons for turning down money that would help keep the museum free to the public.” Look at the accounts. 👀 BP sponsorship does NOT help to keep the museum free to the public. theartnewspaper.com/2024/09/16/wil…

Just weeks ago, the Director of the British Museum defended his BP sponsorship in the national press… 🏛️ Now, BP has committed to going even *further* in the WRONG direction, and pushing the world deeper into #climate breakdown!! 😡🛢️🔥 #dropbp reuters.com/business/energ…

Siri, how do you say “I don’t give a f*** about your future”, in climate-wrecking, war-fuelling fossil fuel producer speak? “BP abandons oil and gas pledge as it prepares to target Middle East” telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

Sorry Thangam Debbonaire - calling out unethical sponsorship deals is *not* pointless! 🤨💰🏛️ This is a disappointingly uninformed and misleading piece which overlooks the fundamental reasons why unethical corporations with an image problem like BP seek to sponsor the arts... 1/x

Morning, Science Museum! Just so you know, Chair of the Adani Group and two execs from your sponsor Adani Green Energy have been indicted, and an arrest warrant issued for Gautam Adani. 😮 Will you now *finally* be cutting ties to Adani? 👀
