BP p.l.c. operates as a global energy company, offering a wide array of carbon-based and sustainable products and services. Its operations are structured across three primary segments: Gas & Low Carbon Energy, Oil Production & Operations, and Customers & Products.

The Customers & Products arm encompasses a diverse portfolio, including convenience stores and retail fuel sales, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and the Castrol lubricants brand.
