What is ShareMatch? Wherever we are and whatever we do, we need to work together for BP to be successful. Becoming a BP shareholder gives you a stake in the company and a perspective beyond your team and global business unit. Global ShareMatch (GSM) is a BP initiative to help employees become shareholders in the group. Its distinctive nature is that for every share you buy, BP matches your investment with another share.
