Campaigners strongly welcome move, which oil company says is due to extremely challenging business environment
BP is ending its sponsorship of the Edinburgh international festival after 34 years, a move welcomed by campaigners who want the oil company’s relationships with other big arts organisations to end quickly.
The termination of the deal emerged as EIF launched its summer programme on Wednesday without BP’s name in the list of sponsors.
