BP

BP is a petroleum company based out of the UK, formerly known as British Petroleum. BP was named one of the "ten worst corporations" multiple times based on its environmental and human rights records. In 2007 BP applied for a permit that would allow it to increase the amount of toxics it dumps daily into Lake Michigan, which is a source of drinking water for Chicago. The permit would allow up to 1,584 pounds of ammonia and 4,925 pounds of suspended solids daily. BP was cited at the most toxic company in the US in 1991, and was named as one of Scotland's two biggest polluters in 1992 by Greenpeace.

BP's downstream products are petroleum products including petrol, diesel, maritime fuels and aviation fuel as well as lubricants for private, business and industrial users, bottled gas for domestic consumers and gas for industrial consumers. BP also supplies petrol and diesel to Safeway supermarkets in the UK. BP's brands include BP, BP-Solar, Visco lubricants, Castrol Lubricants and in the US AMOCO and ARCO gasoline.
