I have no issue with wiki. If I dispute information therein I find it elsewhere.
But since you like wiki, here is some more;
BP was named by Mother Jones Magazine, an investigative journal that "exposes the evils of the corporate world, the government, and the mainstream media",[54] as one of the ten worst corporations in both 2001 and 2005 based on its environmental and human rights records.[55][56] In 1991 BP was cited as the most polluting company in the US based on EPA toxic release data. BP has been charged with burning polluted gases at its Ohio refinery (for which it was fined $1.7 million), and in July 2000 BP paid a $10 million fine to the EPA for its management of its US refineries.[57] According to PIRG research, between January 1997 and March 1998, BP was responsible for 104 oil spills.[58] BP patented the Dracone Barge to aid in oil spill clean-ups across the world.[59]

As of 11 February 2007 BP announced that they would spend $8 billion over ten years to research alternative methods of fuel, including natural gas, hydrogen, solar, and wind. A $500 million grant to the University of California, Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to create an Energy Biosciences Institute[60] has recently come under attack, over concerns about the global impacts of the research and privatisation of public universities.[61]

BP's investment in green technologies peaked at 4% of its exploratory budget, but they have since closed their alternative energy headquarters in London. As such they invest more than other oil companies, but it has been called greenwashing due to the small proportion of the overall budget.[62]
In 2004, BP began marketing low-sulphur diesel fuel for industrial use.
