the same product line of petroleum and its other products, and becoming one of the world
leading petroleum companies, the company was renamed British Petroleum Amoco 1982 but
later renamed BP PLC in the year 2000 (Tikkanen, 2019).
Headquartered in London, the company has seen transitions over time and has been
