May 26 (Reuters) – BP said on Tuesday it had removed Chairman Albert Manifold with immediate effect, citing “unacceptable” governance oversight and conduct issues.
Manifold was appointed to the role in October, although he received lower-than-typical support. He has been pushing for a faster shift back to oil and gas investments.
The energy major said it had appointed Ian Tyler as interim chair while it starts searching for a permanent replacement.
