Chairman Helge Lund said the company must follow a 'dual' path of meeting the world's energy needs while also cutting emissions.

Around half-a-dozen protesters were removed from the meeting after setting off alarms and shouting"this is a crime scene".

After pausing to allow the protesters to be taken away, Mr Dudley went on to say that BP wanted to be"transparent about the future" and that it was"essential to retain the trust of shareholders". However, a second resolution, which would have imposed much stricter controls on the firm, was rejected, even though a similar rule was recently adopted by BP's great rival, Shell.

"There's clearly an appetite for BP to set emissions reduction targets for its clients' products, with some of BP's largest investors already announcing that they would call for this if BP failed to deliver a Paris-consistent strategy in a year's time."
