BP dismisses its chair, Albert Manifold, after “serious concerns” are raised about his conduct, according to reporting from multiple Australian outlets. Two people described as close to BP say there were complaints involving Manifold’s conduct toward employees, including allegations of aggressive behaviour. The same sources also report concerns that he mishandled sensitive information. The coverage characterises the concerns as unacceptable and reports that BP took action by removing him from the chair role. The articles do not provide detailed specifics of the allegations, the timeframe involved, or whether any formal investigation findings are publicly available. The reporting indicates the decision is based on internally raised complaints and resulting concerns about workplace behaviour and information handling. Overall, the accounts align that Manifold’s removal is linked to allegations of aggressive conduct and improper handling of sensitive materials, prompting BP to act against him as chair.
