StockMarketWire.com - The FTSE 100 saw its losses deepen through the course of the afternoon as trading on Wall Street got off to a lacklustre start.
By the close the index was down 0.5% at 6,931.09 while the US S&P 500 was down 3.3 points to 4,184.31 by 4.30pm UK time.
BP reversed earlier gains to trade 0.6% lower at 294.7p on announcing that it would start a $500 million share buyback in the second quarter after its first-quarter profit was boosted by higher oil prices and refining margins.
BP s underlying replacement cost profit for the three months through March jumped to $2.6 billion, up from $791 million year-on-year. It kept its dividend steady at 5.25c per share.
It has long been said that trade finance, with its strong links to the real economy, is a natural fit for sustainability initiatives. Over the years there has been growing interest in environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices and decision-making throughout the trade industry as stakeholders increasingly focus on sustainability metrics, and demand businesses measure and address their ESG impacts.
Companies themselves are realising that integrating ESG into their business is becoming a necessity from a commercial as well as a reputational perspective, and that often their supply chains hold the biggest opportunities for breakthroughs in sustainability performance.
Much of this increased awareness has been driven by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as set out in 2015 by the United Nations (UN), for countries to adopt and implement by 2030.

“Since the matter has already once gone to the High Court of Delhi, this court deems it appropriate to call the report from DCP concerned. Let action taken report to be called from DCP concerned for March 9 on the complaint given,” Metropolitan Magistrate Himanshu Raman Singh said in an order passed on January 29.
In his complaint, Mander had sought registration of an FIR against Mishra “for encouraging violence against Anti-CAA-NRC-NPR protestors”.
