And in answer to my own question, from an entry on wikipedia:

The newly-renamed "BP" became an initialism no longer standing for "British Petroleum", and used the tagline "Beyond Petroleum" in advertising campaigns (this perhaps to disguise the company's foreign ownership after its extensive acquisitions and increased presence in the United States, as British Aerospace became "BAE Systems" for similar reasons). Its BP Solar division has become a world-leading producer of solar panels.
