Emirates Foundation extends agreement with BP

ABU DHABI // The Emirates Foundation will extend an agreement with energy company BP to support youth development programmes.
BP Exploration and Operation Company has supported the foundation since 2005, when it was established. The agreement lasts until the end of 2016, and was signed on Tuesday at the Abu Dhabi Petroleum International Exhibition and Conference.
“Our collaboration with BP is a great example of how the private sector can support the foundation leverage its distinctive venture philanthropy model and youth empowerment programmes to positively and permanently impact the lives of youth,” said Clare Woodcraft-Scott, chief executive of the foundation.
