Oversight The board has continued to maintain oversight of performance, risk and financial efficiency and kept a constant scrutiny on safety. Each year we review and monitor the group level risks through our own work and our committees, who carry out the majority of the work, leaving the board free to address strategic issues. There are, however, longer-term issues on which we also have to focus, such as carbon and its role in climate change. It is clear that it is for governments and regulators to set the boundary conditions to address these issues and we will develop our business within their framework. For example, we already factor a price for carbon into our project evaluation. We recognize that we need to play our part in informing this debate and we do this through our projections for future world energy markets in the BP Energy Outlook 2035. Throughout, we must remain alert to developments that may alter the world in which we operate. The board is recommending that shareholders support the resolution at the annual general meeting seeking greater transparency of reporting in this important area
