A New Dawn. A New Day.
On 1 April 2026, bp enters a new chapter with the appointment of Meg O’Neill as CEO — the first external hire to lead the company and the first woman to head a major global oil company.
Moments of leadership transition create natural pause points — an opportunity to reflect, to reset, and to re-examine issues that matter deeply to stakeholders.
For thousands of UK defined benefit pensioners, long-standing concerns around pension increases remain unresolved.
Addressing these concerns would not simply resolve a legacy issue — it would send a powerful signal about the values, tone, and priorities of BP’s new leadership from day one.
A new dawn offers the chance for a new conversation.
