A new chapter begins at @bp_plc on 1 April. A golden opportunity to reset. BP's UK pensioners have seen real-terms cuts since 2022 despite a strong fund. Now is the moment to do the right thing. Honour the long-standing pension increase policy and restore trust.

On 1 April 2026, BP enters a new chapter with the appointment of Meg O'Neill as CEO. For thousands of UK defined benefit pensioners, long-standing concerns around pension increases remain unresolved. A new dawn offers the chance for a new conversation.

IT'S TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING @bp_plc's pension dispute isn’t going away. Thousands of members of BP’s UK defined benefit pension scheme have been in dispute with the company since 2023, when BP walked away from its long-standing policy on inflation related pension increases.

I received a message from someone made redundant from @bp_plc : “What you are doing matters deeply — perhaps more than many people realise until they step out of the company and begin to truly feel the long-term weight of these pension decisions.” bppensionergroup.org/join

Has @bp_plc created a UK pensions scandal? What do you think?

Pension Fund Trustees: the law is clear. Knowingly harming members’ benefits isn’t just wrong — it could be a criminal offence under the UK 2021 Pensions Act. 🔒 Protect pensions. 🚫 No reasonable excuse. #BPPensions

“Stuff and nonsense.” This describes @bp_plc's excuses for refusing all affordable discretionary pension increases proposed by Pension Trustees. - No extra cost to BP. - No evidence of harm to stakeholders. - And “global fairness”? BP already varies pay and pensions by country.

WE ARE STILL HERE @bp_plc - No meetings. No apologies. No justice. But BP pensioners aren’t backing down. We’ll keep going until this is resolved – one way or another.

When is a door not a door? When it’s ajar. It’s an old, corny joke - but it perfectly sums up BP’s refusal to engage with pensioner representatives over the past two years on a growing pension crisis of its own making. Add your voice. Share this post. Call on BP to listen.

📣 The BP Pensions Matter is NOT Closed. At the April 2025 @bp_plc Annual General Meeting, shareholder pensioners spoke out as their pensions have dropped by 11% due to BP breaking long-standing pension promises. The company’s response? “The matter is closed.” It’s not.

BP’s Annual General Meeting Fortress: A Symbol of Isolation and Exclusion The way @bp_plc controls its Annual General Meeting resembles a fortress, designed not just for order, but to shut out dissent and meaningful dialogue. bppensionergroup.org #bppensions

The Facts of the @bp_plc UK Pension Dispute – Part 8 The BP Pensioner Group believes that the BP Pension Fund Trustees have a clear and constructive path forward, to seek a ruling from the Court to determine the critical legal issues at the heart of this dispute. Time for action!

The Facts of the BP UK Pension Dispute – Part 7 The BP Pensioner Group believes that @bp_plc  and the BP Pension Fund Trustees made legally flawed decisions regarding discretionary pension increases. Key factors were ignored, and irrelevant considerations influenced the outcome.

The Facts of the BP UK Pension Dispute – Part 5 At the heart of the BP pension dispute is the Pension Increase Policy (PIP), a policy that set expectations for pensioners regarding annual increases to their pensions. However, @bp_plc has failed to honour the PIP.

The Facts of the BP UK Pension Dispute – Part 4 The BP Pension Scheme’s Pension Increase Policy (PIP) is a key part of BP employment ‘deal’. @bp_plc promoted the PIP to attract new employees, encouraging them to transfer both their employment and pension arrangements to BP.
