University Funding
Dear Royal College of Ophthalmologists,
I'm writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) to ask that you please disclose to me the level of fossil fuel funding the university has received covering the whole of the previous calendar year (so academic years 21 / 22 and also all of 22 / 23 - going into 2023 and future agreements) from the following companies please.
The companies I'm looking for are all oil, gas, and coal companies, if you split by sector and are able to provide more, that would be greatly appreciated.
This would include grants, research agreements, gifts, sponsorship, hospitality, and donations from the following companies please:
BP, Shell, Total, Equinor (Statoil), Eni, Chevron, Exxon (ExxonMobil), ConocoPhilip (Conoco), BHP Group, Enbridge, Chesapeake Energy, Petrofac, Kellas Midstream, Kuwait Petroleum, OEUK, Dong Energy, Cheniere, Premtech, Aker BP, Glencore, Petronas, Saudi Aramco, Petro-Canada, E&P, OMV, Inpex, Ithaca Energy, Enquest, Woodside, Chrysaor, China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (SINOPEC), Hewett Petroleum, Institute of Gas and technology, Balmoral Offshore, Airpac Bukom, Abbot Group, Capricorn Energy, Enterprise Oil, Melrose Resources, Rovotics, Senergy, Scottish Power, Trident, Zenocean, Schlumberger, Stena Drilling, Anglo-American, Tokyo Gas.
I'd also like the same for direct investments or shared investments in fossil fuel companies please, if both direct and shared (as in pooled funds) is too much to ask, then just direct investments will be fine.
A simple spreadsheet format will be fine for the purposes of this request.
Yours faithfully,
Max Colbert
