Meeting description: We highlighted our plan to invest up to 18bn by the end of 2030 across our business in the UK including in oil and gas and renewable projects. It's and not or. We discussed the just transition and the importance of a transition for the skilled workforce supply chain and communities in Scotland. We shared that want to move at pace with the transition in order to reach the targets we have but also to get to net zero. We also discussed the importance of energy security and BP's economic contribution to Scotland. We shared that in 2022 BP made a total gross value added (GVA) contribution of 2.5 billion in Scotland. This was equivalent to 1.5% or 1 in every 65 of Scotland's GVA and was worth 13% of the 20 billion total GVA contribution made by BP in the UK. Through this economic activity BP supported a total of 14 000 jobs and directly employed circa 2 000 (19 51) workers in Scotland. This was 0.5% of Scotland's employment or one in every 200 Scottish jobs and represented 16% of the 84 000 jobs supported by BP in the UK. In total BP spent 780 million with Scottish suppliers in 2022. We explained that this spending combined with spending in other UK regions and nations led to a 640 million GVA impact and supported and 12 000 jobs throughout the supply chain in Scotland.
