BP Plc appointed Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath to lead its low-carbon business, announcing the departure of Dev Sanyal less than two years into a strategic shift toward cleaner energy.

The switch comes as BP strives to become a “net zero” company by the middle of the century, including slashing oil and gas production 40% by 2030. Sanyal has spearheaded the major’s plans to become a low-carbon integrated energy provider, with aggressive targets to ramp up its pipeline of renewable projects.
