Business and Human Rights: An Insider’s Journey with BP and Beyond

Chapter Chapter 3 in Justice, Sustainability, and Security, 2013, pp 53-84 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In May 2010, while BP’s ruptured oil rig was gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, a 2009 speech by BP’s soon-to-be-ex CEO Tony Hayward resurfaced to widespread ridicule. Speaking at Stanford Business School, Hayward said that he revamped the company because it “had too many people that were working to save the world” 1 —which in retrospect doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. I had been one of those people.
