Ex-BP CEO facing up to $41M in losses over colleague relationship dishonesty

BP

Bernard Looney resigned in September upon informing the company he had not been fully transparent regarding its investigation into his relationships. The board’s initial review into the matter, first raised in May 2022, found no breaches of the company’s code of conduct.
