BP Pauses Hiring, Offshore Wind Investments, Reuters Reports
-- BP halted hiring new employees and paused new offshore wind projects to focus further on oil and gas operations amid investor worries, Reuters reports, citing unnamed company sources.
-- The move is part of Chief Executive Murray Auchincloss's plan to slow down large investments in low-carbon projects that aren't expected to generate cash short-term, Reuters reports.
